Chinese-Style Fonts Are Racist Says CNN

Fact checked
CNN racist font

CNN has published an article suggesting that Chinese-style fonts are racist and offensive because they perpetuate ‘crude’ stereotypes.

According to the artcle author Anne Quito, “chop suey fonts to communicate ‘Asianness’ in food packaging, posters and ad campaigns” are evidence of “discrimination and systemic racism.”

Summit News reports: She made this ludicrous assertion despite admitting that the fonts were immediately adopted by Chinese immigrants who came to the United States to set up businesses.

Apparently, the hundreds of thousands of Chinese business owners across the western world don’t appear to believe the font is racist since they choose to proudly display variations of it on the front of their shops and restaurants.

A scholar of Chinese typography also largely dismissed the claims by pointing out that he didn’t find the fonts offensive and that it was a gross oversimplification to label them racist.

Another respondent feared he could be called racist for using Roman fonts.

Numerous other Asian respondents said they were not offended by the font.

    • Howdy Annonymous. I don’t mean to be disrespectful to you, but are you teasing the readers here with an example on non-sequitur logic?

      You are saying that the English want to invade China? To borrow from the “Princess Bride”, I don’t think (invade) means what you think it means.

  2. Several years ago, back when a friend of mine was working for the State of California, his boss came to him and told him someone had filed a sexual harassment complaint against him and his wife. It seems that they had just had lunch and were sitting next to each other reading the newspaper, when he laughed and patted his wife’s thigh just above her knee (she was wearing pants, not a dress).
    A female state worker, who was also sitting in the cafeteria, noted the event and filed a complaint at the Human Resource Unit. Wanting to comply with the new rules, my friend then went to the Human Resource Unit and asked for some guidance on acceptable behavior. My friend asked several questions and summed up the guidelines given to him with one question:
    He asked the Human Resource representative, if he was in the local grocery store on a Saturday and kissed his wife on the cheek; could a fellow state worker, who observed the kiss while in the same grocery store, file a complaint at the Human Resource Unit? He was told yes, and that if any state employee tried to dissuade the person from filing the complaint, they would be fired.
    Clearly, without enough actual Sexual harassment issues to process, or not enough actual Racial Discrimination issues to process, the “Woke” industry is happy to process the complaints of their Schizophrenic Fanatics.
    In 1692, the people falsely accused during the Salem Witch trials, and the people falsely accused during the Spanish Inquisition were similarly violated by “Protective” Industries with nothing to do.
    Now I’m going to go have some Sweet and Sour Chicken before it’s made illegal by the “Woke Fanatics”.
