Are you a Chinese bot or something?

Okay thank you. Is it a coincidence that your username sounds Chinese? I meant no discrimination. Also, I feel policed around.

What difference does it make if my username sounds Chinese?

"Policed around" doesn't sound like a pleasant feeling but I can at least assure you it's nothing personal. We moderate HN when people break the site guidelines.

Well if I happen to mention that a lot of censorship is happening in China and I'm being policed around by a user that might be Chinese, maybe I might feel censored by the same system

The dominant variable in such a perception would be prejudice, no?

I perceived it as you taking it personally because I happen to critique China subliminally and you belonging to the Chinese culture. Even though I agree that my comment was snarky still the underlying message was that censorship in China is prevalent and human rights there are besieged upon. Bots are on the internet and there are Chinese bots that do their propaganda. I, by mentioning this, have exhibited free speech, undermined the authoritarian Chinese governments plan to turn hackernews into a propaganda tool and strengthen humanistic values.
