    Hey, a few snails are nothing compared to the disgusting shit the Chinese eat. And I’m not saying that to be racist. It’s purely a dietary horror I have for their revolting and cruel habits.

        Chickens feet?

        Priapulida?

        The random animals they either catch from wild or raise in horrific conditions to sell to eat because ‘some bogus reason to do with ‘traditional Chinese medicine’ or male erection insecurity’.

        I mean how about the ‘wet market’ where C19 apparently sprung from; bats, pangolins, god only knows what else.

        As I said, I am not racist in the least, but I will admit to being somewhat disgusted by many aspects of their culture. As others have discussed elsewhere, the Cultural Revolution destroyed the previous Chinese cultural norms and created a somewhat blank slate that did not include politeness etc. This seems to be by design.

        To be fair, I’m also disgusted by many aspects of ‘Western’ culture, including regional variations and various hypocrisies. Again, nothing to do with race.

        In fact, lots of human behaviour disgusts me. Hey, when was that asteroid due again?!?
