    “Constitution means it doesn’t happen” and “Constitution is worthless, it’s all about enforcement” (true but if that’s all they went by they’d have to face the fact that China is terribly racist) simultaneously. Great doublethink on their part.

    Well, China’s constitution opposes systemic oppression of minorities; things such as saying on Chinese social media that black people should be deported or that a relationship with one is impure are just prejudice, and since tankies repeat over and over that prejudice is not racism, they’re unironically consistent on this one.

      Because tankies seem to misunderstand “race + power = racism” was about structural racism not a forgiveness of individual racism in non-white people.

    Nevermind that it’s ink on paper. What the ink on paper says still sounds like a threat.
