I truly (truly!) don't believe that anyone here is posting here for racist purposes. However, the increase in anti-Chinese and xenophobic sentiment in the U.S. in the last while has led to a horrible increase in violence against Asian-Americans and others of Asian descent. As the father of a son of Asian descent, I ask that you think carefully about what, where, and when you post in order to avoid fueling the fire.

I mean I suppose that's really charitable of you.

But this thread has plenty of prima facie racist behavior. DanLaw's post had so many white nationalist dog whistles he's going to be able to start an animal adoption agency.

I dunno maybe Im cynical because my first interaction on this forum was literally having to point out that trans people killing themselves is not funny.

Maybe people on this forum could try being better, instead of accusing me of "starting trouble" for pointing out they are being clowns.

Posting Freak
The issue of Chinese manufacture has popped up now and again over the years, however, its a touchy area right now.   One of the very few DFS rules is that we avoid political discussions and while this thread started out informing members of a change in Proraso's ownership structure, its veered away from that into the political arena so I'm closing the thread.
