Believe it or not, a person can like black people while being racist towards someone from Hong Kong. Imagine that? QT is no stranger to being called out on his racism towards Chinese or Hong Kong peoples.

Racism is complicated, it's not "oh look he made a pro black movie, therefore he can't be racist towards an Asian!". Black people and Asians aren't the same you know

The vast majority of the people dying in his his movies are white. This you're okay with but killing an asian is an indication of him being racist towards asians. How does that work exactly?

Nobody killed Bruce lee, they humiliated and dissed him and his family. In any case, Tarantino's Reagan towards Chinese people isn't new, there's no debate here

there’s no debate here

That's debateable.

At the end of the day, Chinese people say it was racist and offensive, therefore it was. I don't need the opinion of some white kid about it
