Of course the above assumes acceptance of the Paranoid Model.  However, it 
might also be (present tense included) that nobody needed to be "convinced," 
that good old white (or Polish, or Itallian, or German, or any other sub-set 
of white) "Tribalism" might be the cause.  You know: "Those Chinee are 
WEIRD!  And Lord knows we don't want to have to deal with their customs (or 
food, or God, or... you get the picture)."

BTW, any particular Media outlet is owned by some HUMAN, not some 
conspiracy, right?
