"Discrimination"? Really? Also this should be renamed "Anti-imperialism". Evil Reptilian Overlord (talk) 15:37, 15 November 2019 (UTC)

And the reason why I put 'discrimination' on that category is because cultural Anti-Westerners often persecute social minorities such as sex minorities, women, and the disabled in non-Western areas. Consider, for example, Russia's denunciation of homosexuality as a decadent Western phenomenon. There are also many such cases in South Korea[1]. But I removed the 'discrimination' category.--BluePink (talk) 04:01, 16 November 2019 (UTC)
'Anti-Western' and 'Anti-imperialism' are concepts that should be distinct. Xi Jinping and Vladimir Putin are anti-Western but at the same time imperialist. I think the case of 'Anti-imperialism' should be made into separate categories at all.--BluePink (talk) 04:03, 16 November 2019 (UTC)
I agree with what Pink said, it's important to distinguish between anti-Western sentiment and anti-imperialist sentiment, the two are not the same thing. It's why a true anti-imperialist would oppose what the PRC is doing to Hong Kong just as much as they would oppose American coups in Latin America. Oxyaena Harass 04:36, 16 November 2019 (UTC)
