“If you are a Westerner with a Chinese tattoo you are not only wearing a Chinese cultural symbol as a fashion statement, you are also wearing the evidence of a long-existing (though potentially changing) un-equal power dynamic. This is troublesome because you are adopting this cultural symbol without acknowledging this power dynamic or, and this is crucial, the racial discrimination present in your home country that is directed at people of Chinese descent. You get to cover up your tattoo or laser it off when it suits you. Chinese Americans (or Europeans or Australians) cannot cover up their Chinese-ness, change their phenotypes, or erase the legacy of anti-Chinese sentiment or legislation that they’ve been dealt. Think about it.”

I thought about it and I have to agree with other posters on LL, its a load of crap not supported by any facts whatsoever. I can assure you that it does not make me a racist because I have my Chinese wife’s name tattooed over my heart in Chinese.
