@Insight "I don't really see it as racism, but more like ignorance" All racism is a form of ignorance.

"China is pretty closed off from common sense and most of their content related to anything or anyone outside China is based on stereotypes without taking perception into account" The moment the creator gained access to the Internet that stops being a valid excuse.

"Could definitely be intentional racism though, you guys are right" Either way it rubs people the wrong way.

@Incubae This is completely incorrect. Just because people have access to the internet doesn't mean they're researching other cultures. Having access to knowledge and being knowledgeable or using said knowledge are all different things, though not mutually exclusive. Many people couldn't accurately identify a Dutch, Swede, Norwegian and German if they were grouped together, nor should they need to unless their job or purpose required them to.
