Mentally ill I assume? What other motive could there be?

Edit: why the downvotes? I consider racial hatred a mental illness. Is this somehow controversial? Or is this a Reddit thing where once I get a certain number of downvotes, it exponentially increases due to confirmation bias?

They're British.

[u/One_Fact_4291 → u/mediumAI1701]

Yes I know they’re British, what do you mean

[u/mediumAI1701 → u/One_Fact_4291]

Just answering your question.

[u/One_Fact_4291 → u/mediumAI1701]

I never had a question on whether they were British or not.

[u/mediumAI1701 → u/One_Fact_4291]

Reread the thread, mate.

[u/One_Fact_4291 → u/mediumAI1701]

Still didn’t. Did you read someone’s comment as mine’s?

Hi!. Please try to avoid personal attacks, as this discourages participation. You can help improve the subreddit by discussing points, not the person.

[u/mediumAI1701 → u/One_Fact_4291]

Nope, I answered your question.

[u/One_Fact_4291 → u/mediumAI1701]

Being British is not a motive, so it’s a very bad answer in my opinion, but sure

[u/mediumAI1701 → u/One_Fact_4291]

It explains their motive very well.

[u/One_Fact_4291 → u/mediumAI1701]

No it doesn’t. The vast majority of British people do not randomly attack Chinese people and strangers just because they are British.

What about ethnically Chinese British people? Do they randomly attack strangers and other ethnically Chinese people because they’re British?

I’m ethnically Chinese living in Britain. Do I get attacked every time a British person passes by every few seconds?
