    Saying company A copied company B isn’t racist. Those clsims are made all the time. This is really digging to make it racist.

        You said

        What’s racist about it?

        It’s because people the meme states that DeepSeek didn’t accomplish anything novel. That the real innovation was done in America with ChatGPT.

        You literally said claimed that as what was racist about it…

        Again, companies being accused of copying isn’t racist. You made it racist by injecting the countries they were developed in and bringing in stereotypes.

          Yes. That are the first two sentences of the paragraph. But the idea is contained in the paragraph which describes the process from those two sentences to racist idea.

          I think your other claim is better, that I was digging. But I think in today’s environment racism is rarely explicitly. It is implicit and easily denied. It can also be unintended. And I think those claiming it’s racism can be wrong. And even in failing, can legitimately point to something in the culture that conditions the interpretation of statements like this.

          What was more important was describing the process.

            It wasn’t just the first few lines, it was the direct answer to the question though, that was my sticking point.

            I get how racism can be deep under the surface, like a sort of “shadow racism” but I think assuming there’s racism at play can be damaging as well. I get where you’re coming from, I guess I just don’t agree with the arrived at point.
