Sub titulo "Re: Why Beijing?" scripsit Joachim Pense:

Isn't "racism" often used nowadays to denote prejudices agains
ethnicities?

No, these days "racism" is a general-purpose curse word that has no denotation; it expresses its user's strongly emotional disapproval of something.

P.S. When the discussion has nothing to do with the Subject line, the Subject should be changed, a new thread started, or the discussion dropped. In this thread, that point was reached several times.
