The curious rise of the ‘white left’ as a Chinese internet insult

Consider an average American liberal. He or she consumes more energy and generates more entropy than an entire African village, yet she believes in the virtues of environmentalism. He or she is a heavy consumer of goods and services of multinational corps, and yet a great believer in artisanal consumption. He or she has lived all her life in pampered comfort and safety, and does not believe in war, famine, rape, slavery, dictatorships, in false assumption that they will never happen again, because the world is what she's seen, not what it is.

Quote from article:

'Although the emphasis varies, baizuo is used generally to describe those who “only care about topics such as immigration, minorities, LGBT and the environment” and “have no sense of real problems in the real world”; they are hypocritical humanitarians who advocate for peace and equality only to “satisfy their own feeling of moral superiority”; they are “obsessed with political correctness” to the extent that they “tolerate backwards Islamic values for the sake of multiculturalism”; they believe in the welfare state that “benefits only the idle and the free riders”; they are the “ignorant and arrogant westerners” who “pity the rest of the world and think they are saviours”.'

China has an extremely large expat community which stays in close contact with the mainland trough social media. Their view of the occidental left is mainly based on the gossip about it from the expat community, and such gossip is usually very negative considering how the two cultures are at odds.

Sounds like communist propaganda is alive and well in China.
