Tho, I don't believe this is a dialogue from the game.

Yes it is

I wish people would stop disparaging others just because they happen to live in a particular country.

Guess what, a single person can't control everything their country does. Get over it.

Watching as over-personification continues to become the death of our species. We deserve an AI apocalypse in many ways at this point. maybe everyone will snap out of it before some theoretical grand tipping point towards certain “dystopian” outcomes will end up coming to pass, though probably not, especially at this rate which I have been seeing continue throughout this year, with regards to “consumer” and “professional” trends

To be fair, they’re not entirely equivalent. I wouldn’t bristle at all at being called “an American,” but I would never call someone “a Chinese.” In the plural form with a definite article, it doesn’t feel as bad, but I’d probably prefer to say “Chinese people,” whereas “American people” feels a little clunky, though it’s probably the best option if you want to keep both terms the same.

I don’t think this is necessarily a racist thing though, because I’d probably be fine saying “the French/ Congolese /Japanese*” and “Guatemalans/ Nigerians/ Tibetans/ Swedes.” Demonyms are definitely a weird area of language that feels biased when you see a direct comparison though.

*interestingly, I couldn’t think of a “new world” country where I would say “the+singular demonym,” but it does sound right for some tribal nations, like “the Hopi/Navajo.” I don’t think it’s uniform though, because “Pequots/Algonquins” sound much better than “the Pequot/Algonquin” to me and I’m not sure why.

PPP national income per capita in USA > 3-fold that in China

where China beats USA is personal wealth of the less wealthy as mentioned before

economic inequality

• income: fairly similar & high for both
• wealth: high for both, though USA higher
