In Sam Sloan's book on Chinese Chess, he described
the atmosphere of the game as being quite different
from that at a European chess event. Evidently, there
was a lot of crowd participation. Perhaps we need to
be more like the Chinese.

If 'you' were perceived as 'more like the Chinese',
then 'you' would experience more racist stereotyping,
condescension, prejudice, and hatred in the West.

Does Nick deny the existence of differences of
custom and culture between Europe and China?
If not, is there a way to refer to such differences
without someone feeling obliged to start talking
about "racist stereotyping, condescension,
prejudice, and hatred"?

... To what extent is Louis Blair aware of the
existence of anti-Chinese racism in the West,
particularly in the United States (where Louis
Blair lives)? ...

My questions to Nick were based on his action:
reacting to my note, quoting my note, and
putting comments in his reaction about "racist
stereotyping, condescension, prejudice, and
hatred". Since Nick did not answer my questions
and HIS question is, as far as I can tell, unrelated
to my actions, I see no reason why I should bother
with his question.
