    Do you know anything about North Korea? Stop trying to find racism in every comment.

    I’m getting married to a person born in China and have been enveloped in Asian culture a lot more than most people in Western culture ever will. Trying to paint things with such a broad stroke shows your ignorance about regional issues and the utter smothering existence living under the North Korean regime is.

    A group of people oppressed to such a degree does not leave much time for simple pleasures like learning to fucking swim and enjoying life.

    But yeah sure, let’s be ignorant as fuck… all Asians… yeah that’s clearly what I meant.

    I may have woken up on the wrong side of the bed. If I took your comment out of context and you were not implying racism, but were simply confused, then I do humbly apologize for this rant.

      No, I was not implying racism. Yes, you overreacted big time. Ability to swim is not necessarily related to the wealth of the population. In multiple countries it is lakes and rivers used for swimming so no, I genuinely had no idea what you meant 🙄

        Lol okay, sorry about that. It feels like people are always to trap everyone else into a racism corner on the internet these days.
