I think the undue romanticism for East Asian societies is an instance of not caring. I think it’s racist too.

East Asians are regular people, with regular problems, and regular levels of care or indifference.

I think the same of anyone who believes in the magic of ancient Chinese medicine. It’s not endearing to believe that the Chinese have some mystical otherworldly powers. It’s just racist.
