   A "Chinese wall" is a virtual or physical barrier within a company, often a law firm or financial institution, designed to prevent the exchange of information between different departments or teams to avoid conflicts of interest or the misuse of confidential information. https://fed.brid.gy/r/https://bsky.app/profile/did:plc:76e4qryfph6q4wmz3li6v2l6/post/3lmutyh3uc22s

     @chris The more modern (and less offensive) term typically used is "compartmentalization"

     As a general rule I have no problem offending a government, its less acceptable to offend a race. Calling the chinese government a bunch of pissant pieces of shit is something I'd endorse. Though refering to chinese people as a whole in a negative light I wouldnt like so much.

     @freemo You're right, the Chinese are indeed super offensive.

     @chris American is a race, its just we murdered most of them so there arent many of them left.

     That said I think it is just as wrong to attack someone for their nationality, but its perfectly fine to attack the nation. It is perfectly acceptable to attack america, just as its fine to attack china, but it would be wrong to be hateful towards anyone of american nationality just as it would be wrong to attack anyone of chinese nationality (regardless of race).

     @freemo yeah, but it so happens that America and American isn't defined as a race, only a Nation State and a Nationality. The bullshit trap is when someone intentially frames references to Mexico and Mexican or China/Chinese, etc, as Nation States and Nationalities but because it's so fun to throw stupid Race Cards everywhere, when someone calls it a Chinese Wall or China Virus (literally reference to the country and not even Chinese), and it's so obvious bullshit, what then, #nannystate #karen

     > You can call wantonly mock Americans and Europeans because there's no real European Race, I guess

     As I stated in my last response, regardless of if its a race its just as wrong to attack a group based on their nationality, even though its fine to attack a nation. I can attack Nigeria, Israel, America, all of that is fine, so long as I dont attack Nigerians (nationality, regardless of race), Israelis, or americans in a way that implied all of them deserve such hate.

     That aside, Eurpeans and Native Americans absolutely are a race, and yes attacking them based on race would be doubly wrong, just as attacking someone for being of nigerian racial decent would be wrong.

     > I also love that you reduce the unique tribes and the unique DNA and unique cultures of the many indigenous peoples of North America as one racial group

     I never claimed they were a singular racial group. Race isnot a countable thing, it is a hierarchical spectrum. All of the america's natives are the broadest racial category, and then you can segment it into smaller and smaller groups as you drill down. It is largely based on mobility/isolation, so there is always some genetic transfer across continents without physical barriers, but that transfer increases the closer two groups are.

     Just because it may have a name (a race) doesnt really mean much as you can always group them more broadly or narrowly and its just as valid.

     @freemo I also love that you reduce the unique tribes and the unique DNA and unique cultures of the many indigenous peoples of North America as one racial group... how reductionist are you! I throw down a Red Race Card! Penalty! To the penalty box for you! :) Trying too hard, my friend Doc Freemo!
