How is calling out a Chinese bot or Russian bot racist? You are obviously pro-China and you didn't read the article. That makes you a Chinese bot.
"How am I being racist? I'm just assuming anyone who disagrees with me must be a certain ethnicity and/or bot."
This really isn't too complicated. Stop using Chinese as a pejorative and "bot" as a thought terminating cliche. It prevents any meaningful discussion, and yes, it's also very racist.
The term isn't being used as a pejorative. The term is being used as an adjective to a pro-chinese social media commentator. Mister Doi Doi with NO history in lemmy.
