‘Are You Like This Doggy?’ U.S. Embassy Asked Chinese Students. It Backfired.

Pretty dumb post, which can be described as childish or unprofessional. However, it is not racist by any definition.

With that said, this article does reveal a larger psychological/propoganda war that is being waged. It is very obvious that China is trying to use our racial riots to discredit us. They are creating propaganda to try and paint all of us as horrible racists, despite being the most diverse successful country in the world. The Chinese delegation, at the recent Alaska meeting, spent 10 minutes lecturing the US on our racial problems.

Pure propaganda, but then again, we are doing the same thing by using the Ugher Muslim issue to try and paint the Chinese as horrible human rights abuses. I guess it works both ways.

Welcome to the next cold war.
