Well, then these types of comments are coming from both the East and the West, and it would be unfair to say that the comments from the West stem from a desire to hate a "faceless other" while the ones from the East are more legitimate somehow. The overboard comments from both sides are uncalled for.

Yes, you're right. I do think comments from both cultures are reprehensible, but the ones from other Chinese people do not seem to carry the same prejudice — at least from the translations I've read. You don't, for example, have other Chinese people calling the 15 year old boy "Ding Dong," as one of the NBC News commenters did.
