So you have even less reason to use the racist-in-origin and logically fallacious term.

Lmao it’s literally the name of a logical fallacy. How is the term itself fallacious?
Also I harbour no racism or ill will toward the Chinese people. My girlfriend is Chinese and I care about her a lot and love learning about her culture. I just don’t abide the human rights atrocities committed by any government.

it’s a euphemism for “And You Are Lynching Negroes” - that’s literally what people used to say instead of whataboutism.
It’s not the name of any logical fallacy. You’re thinking of Tu Quoque.
