re: #199 PT Barnum

Don’t know if anyone has seen this, but this, to me, is incredibly racist

I didn’t see it as racist but maybe it’s there. It’s the usual Chinese xenophobia and conspiracy theory. The Chinese hold 20 percent of foreign holders of our debt. Equal to the Japanese. We all remember the “Japan is going to take over” fear mongering from the 80s. Now they both hold the same amount of debt.

This is the top 4 from the US Treasury:

China, Mainland 868.4
Japan 836.6
United Kingdom 448.4
Oil Exporters 226.6
