    I don’t want to speak for the people affected, but I always read it (or as I’ve heard it called here, “the chinese backend”) as a criticism of the capitalism and colonialism that lead to that kind of exploitation, not a criticism of the people being exploited.

      Sure, but we should be calling these things out directly, rather than indirectly in a way that fuels racism.
