As an occidental who admires many things about the Chinese people, I don't understand why you don't prefer Chinese servers. Isn't your native language more comfortable to use? Are you just trying to learn English for business purposes or something?

And I feel baffled as to why you don't seem to think that ethnocentric sentiment is just a normal healthy human instinct. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I was under the impression that China is more ethnocentric than most of the occident and doesn't feel there's anything wrong with that. Even makes fun of occidentals for not being ethnocentric enough ("baizuo," but I might not understand that term).

I don't think there's anything wrong with your being here if that's what you want, and I also don't think there's anything wrong with occidental ethnocentrics being here and being openly uninterested in talking with people who they consider foreign.

I also probably use "right" and "alt-right" differently than you do -- yes, there is that certain kind of troller attitude towards things, but when people use terms like "alt-right" or "right" to refer to the trollers only, I think it creates a problem for discourse because I think there is also a lot of serious discussion and important good points being made.

This guy has never been on a Chinese server. Or Chinese anything.

Or outside of his own hometown.
