Ranking our hatreds

Keeping track of the big insults of the day is kind of a favorite hobby of mine. Occasionally I even write about it. Some of my favorites over the years have the been the 湯唯 incident, the 楊銳之言 and now good old Gary Locke.

But at the end of the day, how do we really know who is hated most? Lucky you. I've decided to throw my hand in the ring at a very non-exhaustive list of who really is the most hated. Feel free to make up your own lists or contribute your thoughts below. And I know what you're going to say, "What about the Uyghurs or the...etc." I'm sorry. We're trying to keep this first list concise. Maybe you can organize the forgotten hated on your list. Or, maybe, we can only wish, one day there will be a longer updated list that is more inclusive. Enjoy.

10. East asian foreigner who is not Japanese.

You can blend in most of the time, so hatred is kept to a minimum.

9. Non-asian foreigner (we're currently iffy on the question of India, but of course this includes certain sections of "Nepal.")

8. "Asian" foreigner who is not east asian.

7. Japanese people.

6. Foreigner of Chinese origin who does not speak Chinese.

5. Japanese man with a Chinese wife or girlfriend.

Ranked higher than four because there is a chance of passing.

4. Non-asian foreigner with Chinese wife or girlfriend.

3. Chinese citizen who takes positions contrary to the party line.

2. Chinese woman who has a foreign, non-asian spouse or boyfriend.

1. Chinese woman with a Japanese husband or boyfriend. (Including imagined or in movies. See 湯唯）

Bonus 

0. (Intersects with 3 as well.) (Greater) Chinese female 分裂分子 who openly asserts contrary positions from points outside of the motherland. See: 呂秀蓮 and others who will not be named.

So, when you think about it, Gary Locke gets off pretty easy. Being a running dog, or "guide dog," whatever that means, is better than being a woman who basically does anything. Or lots of Japanese people.
