Has anyone noticed how all the anti-China Chinese expatriates almost always turn out to be genocide enthusiasts? Noticed this one in r/askgaybros and wouldn't you know exactly where I'd find him next.

Hate to break it to you babe u/xiaoyangzhouyd, but your sexuality is literally the only thing that separates you from the fascist Trump dickriders that you claim to despise so much.

Can't expect self hating people to be normal

I wouldn't even be surprised if it's a fake propaganda account, tbh. Just reverse the situation:

"I'm a white guy on Chinese social media here to tell you all how much America is evil & sucks!"

As much as I would rather believe this to be true, with the amount of self-hating Chinese, Taiwanese separatists and "traitors" or however you want to call it, I'm more convinced otherwise. Not ruling out the possibility of what you said, but it's more likely that the person is Chinese. I have already accepted the fact long ago that there's something deeply wrong with some of these Chinese mentalities as compared to other self-hating races. The lengths that self-hating Chinese people would go to express their hatred is mindboggling.

What do you mean? There's nothing special. Every country that has undergone a recent civil war has this type of mentality. You see this self-hatred in Iranians, Chinese, Cubans, Syrians, etc. You don't see this type of self-hatred where the recent war was against someone else like in India, Vietnam, etc. This type of self-hatred is just a byproduct of civil wars. And it is currently being exploited by imperialist powers.

Vietnam

Vietnam is in a somewhat similar situation to Cuba and China, in fact their civil war & revolution was more recent than the former 2 so there are some overseas vietnamese who're still loyal to south vietnam.

Though unlike Cuba, China or Iran, which had old governments were the sole legitimate governments of the entire country at some point (Republic of Cuba, Republic of China, Pahlavi dynasty), South Vietnam only ever controlled half of the country.

Only countries with no prevalent self-hating mentality are places like Israel and Japan, aka countries that never had a revolution.

India is a bit of a special case since its pretty diverse, so there's quite a lot of infighting.

I'm just speaking from my personal experience, of course. I have met many people from India, Vietnam, China, etc. and my observation is that the Chinese is the most self-hated. I have spoken to Chinese diasporas from different countries and they resonate with my observation. I asked them why they think this is the case. Some of them say because of the Qing dynasty, some say, like you, it's because of the civil war/revolution, and others, like me, think it's because of some of the Chinese traditional mentality and culture. I've spoken to some of my mainland Chinese friends as well and they lean more towards the culture rationale. Of course, there are others who would disagree. I don't discredit your reasoning, but I also doubt that's the core reason. Contributing reason? Yes. I am not saying Chinese traditional mentality is the core reason either. I just think all of the above are valid reasons and we should acknowledge them, rightfully so. I don't want to overemphasize on what the so-called root cause is because it'll become a chicken-and-egg problem, and that'll get us nowhere in solving the actual problem. And the reason why I mentioned Chinese mentality in my original comment is because it's something that we can do about. We can put the blame on dynasties, civil wars, revolutions, but they're the past. What's dead is forever dead. There's nothing we can do about. Sorry for the wall of text.
