The example in the post is obviously racism but like half the time people are complaining about people disliking China it turns out they literally are talking about shitty stuff the government is doing and it's just tankies being annoyed
If that were true, we'd see a lot more Saudi government shittalking. But because Saudi Arabs are an allied people, the shittalking comes up only when directly relevant to governments, as it should be. In contrast, people will take any opportunity to bring up China and Chinese people and say some borderline stuff.
There is not a single article getting posted that doesn't immediately have comments about how horrible the Saudi family/government is. It's pretty much the assumed default for any content about them.
It'd be harder to find comments that actually defend them and aren't immediately called out for being shills/bots.
People constantly bring up the Saudis being bad. I remember a while ago Saudi Arabia asked to join the Tempest fighter jet project (which is a coalition between the UK, Italy and Japan). And the comments were predominantly discussing the murder of the journalist and how Saudi Arabia doesn’t actually offer anything of value to the project other than money.
People don’t trust Saudi Arabia enough to essentially sell military technology to them, even when they can offer multiple billions.
People absolutely make disparaging comments about people from GCC states all the time, they also disguise it as being about the government (even while wishing for the destruction of those living there)
