What was that stuff about being racist but instead of “race” saying “culture” so it’s socially acceptable ?

Bonus from OP:

Not much we can do about that. It’s just Chinese culture that hacking is a normal thing…their internet cafes literally comes pre-installed with hacks for online games because if the customers kept winning then they kept paying and renting PCs.

(no they don’t, a couple years ago some twitter dipshit saw a computer in an internet cafe with a map tool that was approved by the game developer and thought it was a cheat)

    This is like the biggest “oooh secret knowledge about the orientals” shit going around on :reddit-logo: and no one ever cites any real study or writing except like maybe a single news item, at which point western culture is literally nothing but mass shootings.

    for what it’s worth Russians have similar views on cheating. Cheating for an advantage is fine as you don’t get caught, and professors there expect some level of cheating on tests and such. I think it’s just because history has caused Russians/Chinese/other peoples to have a more adversarial (and arguably more rational) relationship towards institutions than Americans, who still cheat but get all morally indignant about it because of puritan brain worms.
