I fucking love pretending to be stupid when I'm called out for my chauvinism towards one eighth of the human race
Chauvinism? Wrong word choice. It's chauvinism when you go around supporting one group from a position of prejudice, not when you attack some group, which wasn't happening anyway. Questioning if something is happening organically isn't the same as saying it's bad. Skepticism is usually a virtue. Don't accept everything you see and are told, and don't accept that it's happening by accident.
Treating the opinions of non-westerners as invalid is absolutely chauvinism.
