    Your comments elsewhere say the quiet part a little louder, like the bit about “potato vodka”. Do you think I’ve never seen a motte-and-bailey argument before? It’s clear what you mean when you use a term like “second world” as a pejorative.

          I mean, America is also majority white. If you made quips about curry when discussing someone that you allege to be stationed in India, I think you can tell that that would be called racist. Same if you talked about a Chinese national eating rice noodles or dumplings or take your pick. You are adding in elements of racial coding that are unnecessary and it doesn’t look like an accident.
