"Xue Bai Leads Chinese Red Army"

That reflected a little bit of prejudice didn't it?

Very poor taste and not clever art alkl.

Very poor taste, but we've come to expect that from wejo, rojo et al. Their ardent worship of George W. Bush says all you need to know about their grasp on common sense.

I agree. Shouldn't it be a yellow army?

...they're wearing red...

The title is accurate, all Chinese athletes are automatically part of the Chinese military system.

While it may seem in poor taste, the Olympics were last year and trade is breaking down between China and the US, so the Brojo's can say whatever they like.

There are over 50 Trillion Dollars in existence, and China only owns 1.5 Trillion of them, so even if they dumped their share they wouldn't destroy our economy. However, 40% of their direct exports go to the U.S, and another 25% of whats left goes to U.S industry in other nations.

China has a state sponsored system for its athletes, it lies about their ages, it treats them poorly, and its partially evil by western standards, although in Asian culture evil has no bearing. The Brojos, just like me can say whatever we want. We don't live in China after all.

Where'd you get that from?

You people are all idiots. In poor taste? Anyone offended by that is a victim-minded sad sack, simply looking to get offended.

Have any of you even seen the results? Chinese women finish 1,4,5,13, far and away the best team result beating Ethiopia, Kenya, Japan, etc.

Been waiting to get that off your chest for a while now, eh?

"partially evil by Western Standards?" What does that mean exactly? Who else is partially evil? Santa and I need a list.

"although in Asian culture evil has no bearing" Where you get that? There is definitely good and bad but that isn't quite good and evil. Of course you could look at Maoism (which is a type of Communism, born out of the West, but let's not split hairs) and then call that all of Asia (who really cares that Asia includes everything from Afghanistan to Japan). Maoism kinda doesn't really have good or evil.

Good post though, way to live up to truthiness by speaking without regard for evidence or facts.

That's easy for a white/hispanic/black person to say...

There's a different, much lower standard for prejudice against Asians in America, and this headline isn't helping.

"Xue Bai Leads Chinese Red Army" isn't poor taste.

Get a clue.

Try this on for size:

"Xue Bai Leads March of the Chinks".

That's more like it!
