maxglute | on: Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang's letter to staff about affair
Or she's not a spy and both are victims of more yellow peril shenanigans. Like a Chinese national spins up SG proxy to legally buy Nvidia cards. Jenson wants to legally sell Nvidia cards to China within export control limits. He hardly needs pussy as incentive to sell more hardware. Business people running billion dollar companies (megaspeed is) talking to domestic politicians isn't a fucking espionage, just like Jensen phoning Trump isn't. Like is PRC going to lock up any western businesses men that's ever been to the white house? It's just business as usual except useful idiots will by the yellow peril narrative that a moderately attractive Chinese MILF is a spy and business friend with benefits being used undermine Jensen for following letter / not spirit of law, aka customary fiduciary duty stuff.

Is the "yellow peril", only Chinese or does it refer to all asians?

Originally used with Japan and China. It would be odd to invoke the phrase in some situation involving like, Bangladesh I suppose.

I mean, Shou Zi Chew was grilled by Congress for his "links" to the Chinese Communist Party, and made to state that Tiananmen Square 1989 was a massacre despite being born, raised in Singapore, and served the Singapore military.

idk so Tiananmen Square 1989 isn't a massacre?

if I was given this much easy task on congress hearing, I'd just say it with megaphone and take the lead from there

why is it difficult to say some fact?

is it difficult for you to say so?

Because he isn't from China. It's racial stereotyping that everyone that looks a certain way is a threat to America. It's dangerous especially when violent attacks on Asians in the United States have skyrocketed as a result of this kind of discourse.

Change the race and ethnicity and tell me that it's okay.

Why can't you admit that this is yellow peril?

A guy from a Chinese country with an obviously Chinese name isn't the greatest exemplar of the idea that "it's not just the Chinese".

The concept seems to have been mostly focused on the Chinese, but that in turn seems to have been largely because they outnumber everybody else.

You can read an essay criticizing the concept at Project Gutenberg: https://www.gutenberg.org/cache/epub/26350/pg26350-images.ht...

(It's in French, written by a Russian in 1897.)

I think many here are conflating quite a few different things here.

Firstly, ethnicity is not the same as nationality.

Secondly, the CCP and China are two separate things. And then there's your definition of China, but I'm not going there. RoC and all...

Thirdly, Singapore is actually a former British colony, the native people are Malays, and there's four official languages (English, Chinese/Mandarin, Tamil and Malay). Now yes, there's a large erhnic Chinese diaspora in Singapore, but arguing that being Singaporean makes you a CCP spy would be a bit of a reach.

And geopolitical naivety aside, I find it mildly perturbing that somebody might assume that I'm a red under the bed, just because I have black hair, an olive complexion and am lactose intolerant.

Thought it might be a quite fitting substitution for yellow press.

yeah as an east-asian, I find it really hard to believe that THAT lady is attractive...

hell that's the typical "before" face of countless plastic surgery hospitals -- provides a great contrast to the "after"
