This "x happens everywhere" argument always sickens me. Murders happens everywhere, does that mean we shouldn't criticize a specific mass murderer?

He's saying that the Chinese are prone to stealing/copying. I'm saying that stealing/copying is happening everywhere so you can't really pin this behaviour on one race/culture. I'm not saying that it's okay either. People will often use the "everybody's doing it" argument to justify something. Not me.
