Even your example with Europe isn´t better. As long as they have an european passport, they are european with the same rights and obligations and responsibilities like every other european citizen! Simple as that.
Just because you´re unable to detect the hidden racism, doesn´t mean it´s not there.
In fact, it´s totally racist! Let me give you an example:
If someone who learned playing TT in China as a kid and then moves to another country as an adult (let´s say Spain, to make this realistic) and has been living in Spain for several years and would receive a Spanish passport then he STILL woudn´t be seen as Spanish and also shouldn´t be allowed to play for Spain by following that logic! No matter the passport and whatnot. Pls keep in mind that he´s been paying taxes like everyone else and also helps to develop spanish youngsters.
Now try to explain how this is not racist! Good luck with that!
strangely this only happens in sports. Now exchange the TT with let´s say Computer programming. Someone from India would want to live and work in France but has learned programming in India. Would you also say he shouldn´t be able to become french and shouldn´t try to do what he can do best for the better of France? I don´t think so.
Okay - so its supposed to be just funny, I have no idea about where they were born, but if there were team women Germany it would be another China.
It is far from racist, but I dont take your opinion from you.
It was just funny to me, that no real american name there.
So if you are mad at me - sorry about that - but that is your point of view, I am not being offensive to anyone, I am just a guy who loves to laugh
And that is all I do, no matter how mad you get, because, frankly, I dont care
That´s all you gotta say?? Your missing sensitivity is only topped by your ignorance!
You like to laugh a lot? Well, me too.... [EMOJI23]
Wtf are you talking ´bout, smartboy? You´re so blind, you don´t even see your own racism!
What would be an american name to you then? Miller, Shultz, Goldstein, Lundberg or Rodriguez?
If you still didn´t get it: THOSE ARE EUROPEAN NAMES!!!! If you wanted AMERICAN names they would sound like: Tecumseh or Tȟatȟáŋka Íyotake or Tashunka Witko or Goyaałé
Some people just don´t want to know how much racist they are!

Wow, some serious topics here
For me the situation is as follows: you should compete for the country in which you were taught to play. Within reason of course. I mean if you leave China after becoming a professional there and become a citizen of any other country I think it should be normal not to compete for this country.. Cause your sport achievements would be a result of your training in your first country(China in the example). I think in sports it should be as simple as that If you represent a country then you should have gotten more that a passport from it (I mean skills) to represent it too.
But that's my opinion and it has nothing to do with the US girls cause they are totally legit in this aspect
Whatever , let's watch how team Romania will fight the Chinese Taipei team)

Well, Lily Zhang does not look like an American name (what should an American name look like?), does Kanak Jha? It is 21st century and how come people still judge people by their ethnic groups...

Thank you. Finally someone using his brain in here.
And ignorants might be able to ignore everything. It wasn't me who started making racist remarks.
Maybe some persons who aren't victimized are unable to understand but i don't need anyone to tell me when to feel offended. Thank you!
Back to OP: luv the way Khanak played. Stefan and him must have been doing some excellent work in the last ten years.

Szocs is on fire and that fire has spread over on TTD.
Ishikawa almost caught the fire. Phew! Kudos to Meshref.

Ok, I really would like to be out of this discussion. In Poland we have great national players born in China and i.e. I love seeing Li Qian live, playing league matches with our local team from time to time. Wang Zheng Yi is probably most like-able guy in our men's national team. I've met him few times - very friendly guy.
I was trying to show some nuances regarding specially women national teams in Europe. Does the situation show dominance of Asian players - yes (I have no problem with it - already explained), should national associations be focusing on developing strong players themselves - yes. This is all I want to say.
Suga if you want to detect racism everywhere ... go for it. Just don't be too zealous really.

I think the remarks leading to this stank to high heaven and that hiding behind the pretense of humour is a shameful ruse, but to pick the necessary nit here: I don't think they were racist. I think they were nationalist, another (and comparable) form of bigotry.
The nation of course being a different fiction from the notion of race. Both are baseless misconceptions, but hey, they are different misconceptions.

Doesn't look much like it on that showing - probably very nervous. I'm more confident of Pitchford getting a medal in the Silly Hairstyle competiition though.

Great win for liam pitchford 3 - 0 . It seems tomo's playing has been studied well by opponents but he's got a long way to reach the chinese
level . Maybe he will get better in next games
