I wonder why in the current yearâ„¢ this isn't considered racist too.

EDIT: I'm getting downvoted and I don't know why. When Trump issued travel ban on citizens of Iran, Iraq, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria, and Yemen it was considered racist. I don't see how banning users from other countries using some other arbitrary measures is any less racist.

It will be just give it time.

At previous positions I've banned entire countries like China from our backend. The truth is some companies do zero business in Country X, so it makes sense to outright ban them to avoid the headache.

You should see the traffic I would get from people in china trying to hack in our backends. The funniest bits were seeing people trying to hit /phpmyadmin
