“Ethnic flag” 💀

But imagine this scenario flipped on its head and this was an American college student wishing to display pride in his Southern heritage by hanging a Confederate flag. They don’t want to hang the US flag because it’s associated with the Union, so they choose Lee’s battle flag to hang.

Imagine how the comments would be rightfully ripping into OP, but now because of Anti-Chinese propaganda, the nuance is completely lost on Westerners.
