Topic: Is there discrimination in the forum - page 2. (Read 824 times)

There is only difference of thoughts and viewpoints among members who can argue at some point but if you talk about discrimination on any basis then i don't agree with on it.The forum has huge user base and daily hundreds of threads are made and people share their thoughts on them and provide information for the same and there is full guarantee that there could be thought conflict among members but don't need to take it personally man.Situations are different for each member and you can't force anybody to share same thought process as yours but the best part is to take it all as discussion process and move on and best you can do is to make effective posting with keeping no negative image in your mind.Your work will prove your worth so no need to indulge in such things which won't matter in the long run.

At first I thought there was but later began to see that generally the forum isn't racist so why should the members be. The forum has created equal opportunity for all just as how Bitcoin created equal opportunity for all race and not giving certain race advantage over others. I was a victim of racial abused but notice those doing that are just trolls that don't matter. I have gotten few feedback for originating from my region of the world but since those feedback didn't have any impact on my account I didn't take them to heart, you shouldn't too.

You're on a forum with people from different backgrounds so expect the worst of behavior, there's no doubt we might have those that are racist here but if there actions don't have any negative impact on your account, just ignore them and continue with the mission that brought you here which I believe should be acquiring more knowledge or engaging with like minds.

I think the question you asked is a bit naive.

1. Every country has its own historical background and culture, and each country adopts a social system suitable for its own country. You think your country has more advantages, and they think their country has more advantages. Each system has its advantages and disadvantages. Under each system, there are happiness and misfortune, darkness and light. This is not racial discrimination. This is because of different directions of thinking. Just like religious beliefs, different beliefs are different. There is no discrimination.

2. I think you should be clear that what the forum brings you to discuss on every issue, precipitating the content of the discussion, is like a melting pot, bringing together the culture and knowledge of various countries, making us more open-minded and more comprehensive in information. If it's all controversy, and start to engage in racial discrimination, then there will only be wars and curses.

3.I think you have made a fuss, maybe you should go around the world, and your vision will be broadened, and your heart will become the ocean.Please adapt to the characteristics of the forum and allow different voices to appear before the content can be presented.
Don't be too fragile. I have heard of the May Fourth Movement in China. You should exercise your perseverance like the young people at that time.

I hadn't checked his post history.

As much as I don't like the CCP, their progress is impressive. They've turned a third world country into a major economic player. But they're trying to gain influence everywhere, up to local municipalities in my country, so it doesn't surprise me they do the same on internet forums.
It's especially impressive how they can just plan long-term. In the West, most politicians don't look further than the next elections. In the USA, Democrats and Republicans waste a lot of resources in undoing what the other party did before them. The Chinese one-party system makes long-term planning a reality.

Their is no discrimination or sentiment to community but people just exaggerates that on their own that such exist here, even at time people feel that someone hate them because the person don't use to award Merit to them, while Merit is primary something that is well understood that while awarding  Merit to somebody is because you personally like the post, see op it's obvious that newbies that is not doing well always think someone hate them, at times when old user try to correct newbies they feel it's an insult or someone is taking them for granted, no one is ready to oppress or intimidate any person, but they will correct an impression if it's needful, just keep on moving.

As a CCP apologist/propagandist, the OP should be condemned in the strongest way possible.

The CCP can only be described as an evil organization that oppresses over a billion people and whose goal is to oppress billions more. They commit mass murder and steal from billions.

Do I see discrimination and hate speech towards Chinese people in that post of his? No, I don't.
Do I see a dislike of a regime and government? Yes I do.
Do I think that's a bad thing? No I don't.

Just because you are Chinese that doesn't mean you have to agree with what your government does. Distinguish the two, there is a big difference. I dislike the Chinese government due to their censorship, their child policy, for the way certain doctors who spoke out against their government magically disappeared, for the way they treat the Uyghurs, or for the way they handled the bitcoin mining situation.

That doesn't mean that I associate a Chinese person with the Chinese government and that I have anything against that person when I see, here, or talk to one. The same way I don't consider the citizens of my country responsible for what the retards in power do. That also doesn't make me anti-China or pro-America or pro/against anything. I don't like the orange baby that ruled the States for four years either, but I have no problem with American people. I still hope they don't find oil on the Balkans though  

Let's sum up:

• Offend the Chinese - CHECK
• Offend the Americans - CHECK

The only right answer

Discrimination and racism is all part of freedom of speech. You can't have freedom of speech without someone else having the same freedom, and as I once read: freedom of speech is especially necessary for controversial subjects! You don't need freedom of speech to say bunnies are fluffy.
So if someone wants to discriminate: let them! Use ignore if you want, discuss with them, try to change their mind (as if that's ever worked on the internet) or just move on with your day. Who cares what an anonymous person on the internet says? See my personal text to see how much I care.

Besides, as long as hell doesn't freeze over, you can have any race, nationality or gender you want on Bitcointalk. There's an attack helicopter as Global Moderator, that's all fine

This is the one. It's a band I enjoy listening for decades.
Plus the fact that I was born under the sign of Pisces.

Yeah, I have no doubt there's discrimination on the forum, though I haven't noticed (or participated in) much of it lately.  China is a bit of a ticklish subject in a lot of people's minds these days, so it's not surprising to see even blatant anti-Chinese sentiment being expressed.  I'm pretty sure I've posted some myself.  However, I want to clarify something on my part: I have nothing against Chinese people; I have a problem with the Chinese government.  

I also don't care for the Chinese culture of counterfeiting goods, and if you can argue that that isn't a thing, good luck with that.

A few years ago I had a problem with Filippino shitposters, and I regret that I made some pretty bad statements directed against them--I was fed up with the shitposting, and everything I wrote just reeked of nationalistic bile.  For the record, I have nothing against the Philippines or Filippinos or any other nationality or race.  Sure, there are aspects of different cultures I don't like, but when I meet people in real life and it's just two people talking....all of that goes away, magically.  So I guess I've changed.

However, even if there is prejudice, racism, or discrimination on bitcointalk, it's fully allowed.  I wouldn't even want to change that, because it would mean the mods would be censoring thought, however offensive it might be.  If you feel you're on the receiving end of any of that, it's up to you to defend yourself, and you should do so without fear of retaliation, IMO.  One thing about being a member of the forum is that you ought to have a fairly thick skin.  If you don't, you should thicken your skin ASAP.

Well said.

No discrimination here, not even against the elderly.

I often see drama on this forum-not discrimination-some suggestions in this thread, might be worth considering for you in the future-continuation.

If you don't want to get burned, don't make a fire let alone try to pour gasoline, flush with water to cool it.

this-a good question.
What this fits into a definition of Neuroticfish, quite classic.

Maybe this is more dangerous and scary.

The forum does not have any rule about ethnic discrimination. The forum is opened for all and it is big enough to have some conflicts of interests, opinions inside.

You can agree or disagree with another and you could be right about that specific person. However, if you generalize it too much, you would be seriously wrong. There are good and bad people in same nation, same local area.

Control yourself, on what you write, what you want to read. If things are not your favorite, ignore them (members, topics, boards). Don't let such ones expose your eyes and let you unable to control your discussions. Then you will never fall into discrimination.

OP you need to match your nickname. You should not pay attention to everyone who somehow disagrees with your point of view. If you are completely unhappy with the posts of the person who addresses you, just click on the ignore button. And you will no longer see a letter addressed to you from the villain.
This is a forum, it is anonymous, people may not necessarily be who you think they are.
Don't get into the snowflake generation, wear thick leather and be bulletproof. (no matter how strange it may seem)

People saying mean things to you or about you isn't really discrimination. You can still say your thing and even be mean to others if you think that's needed to counter the other mean users (usually it isn't).

Discrimination IMO would be e.g. moderators deleting posts of certain groups of users based entirely on who those users are and not on whether they break the rules. I don't think that's happening.

Also keep in mind that personal attacks are typically against the rules (off topic, low value posts) so if someone posts something that is entirely targeted at you and not at the topic of the thread - you can report it to moderators. However if the post is only partially off topic, it will likely stay. This is where the "Ignore" feature comes in handy.

Simply an observation. Many of us probably thought that werent offended anyone by our thoughts or opinion targeting someone. But this is a forum and we must be professional, only those who arent fond of a healthy conversation is likely explode in such heated conversation.

OP there is nothing to worry we are free to vocal ourself here.

You are right, the most important thing is to be yourself.I firmly believe that I will stay in the forum long enough.

LOl，I still hope that I can be like my name-The Ghoul (this is actually an anime name).I will refute the opinions that I do not agree with without hesitation.

Thanks，NeuroticFish. Can you tell me what your name stands for？


Maybe we have different political views or positions. But it does not prevent us from being friends.

After all, this is a Bitcoin forum, not a political forum, nor a place for bipartisan competition.

No. There is no discrimination in this forum at all. And precisely here there is a respect for freedom of expression that there is not (anymore) in other parts of the internet, especially in social media.

I myself have argued a lot with advocates of pro-communist or radical leftist policies. With moderate leftists too, but with them I usually reach common ground. I was amused by one thing he replies to you:


LOL. I could have told you the same thing. Which is not to say that I discriminate against you.

There are a lot of individuals writing on this forum. Expecting all to be open minded, expecting all not discriminating, expecting all think like you is by far too much.
You will find all kind of people here, some nice, some rude, some helpful, some trolling, some discriminating, some not. So what? That's how the world is, after all. Learn to pay attention to only what you find useful for yourself and ignore gracefully the rest. Of course, you can start disputing ideas too, but don't expect that always the smarter argument wins (again, like in real world too, some will not accept that argument no matter what).

All in all, it's a good forum. The variety is just spicing it up a little. Enjoy your raid here, if you'll stay long enough you'll probably find your way and you'll like it.


Edit: and @YOSHIE also has a good point. Try to not be offended too easy and keep your mind open; some things may not even be as you think (in this case discrimination).

Thank you, I will continue to learn.
This website is great, thank you.
The most important thing is not the disagreement between him and me. The most important thing is the title of this topic-Is there discrimination in the forum，This should be no problem in the mate section.

I also want to know that everyone gets information about China from those news media.Thanks

Thank you, I will review the rules carefully. I should have not violated the rules so far. Thanks for reminding.
