How much of the supposed deference in the cultures of East Asia stems from their traditions of authoritarian rule and how much is the result of colonialism?
I'd say Confucianism is a huge part of the milleniums-long feedback loop that helped to establish this tradition. Confucius (more properly Kung-Fu-Tse, iirc) started with a deep reverence for social order and developed a whole philosophy based on paternalism and mutual obligation. It's really not much different from the theory behind feudalism and most autocratic government, when you look at just the broad strokes, but Confucianism was adopted by The State very early on and got kneaded into the basic substance of Chinese society at the foundation level and in all the details of daily life. For example, a son who fell short of the complete obedience owed to his father could be criminally prosecuted for filial impiety and thrown in prison.
You don't throw off something this deep in a culture very quickly, although it is probably less strongly rooted than the caste system in India.

to say the least
like what the FUCK
the thing that you should notice is the part where she says she doesn't hate black people even though she just CALLED FOR THEIR GENOCIDE AND SAID THE WORLD WOULD BE BETTER WITHOUT THEM
living in a racist world means that being called a racist is considered more hurtful than actually being racist. EVERY TIME someone goes on a stormfront-esque no-doubt-about-it 100% racist rant, they always end up saying "no, i don't hate blacks, i'm not racist" at some point. every time. everything is more fucked up than it ever was and human beings are confounding.

i think what they think is that "hate" is an irrational emotion succumbed to by the thoughtless and uneducated whereas they themselves think intensely about this subject all the time so they're coming from a place of expertise you understand

the one about jews is a little more upbeat:

apparently she grew up in virginia and lives in NYC. i know she's a nobody and didn't have a career in the first place, and i know that even frogbs in his prime wouldn't argue about it being racist (MAYBE). i'm just more interested in figuring out the brains of people who do these things and then insist they aren't racist.

i find that there's plenty of racist things already without getting into legit WNs. as long as they occupy their little paranoid corners they typically don't even bother anyone. of course a lot of them also claim to not be racist or hateful.

that "Official Apology to Black Community":
Okay guys, listen up!
You are threatening me with the fact that you know my address. You guys have also started to roar your engines every so often outside of my home. I get it. This is my official apology to the black community.
I do not regret what I said, however, I now understand that there are some lines one cannot cross.
Please take this apology and do what you will with it, but hopefully, everyone will remember to stay calm, cool and collected and remember that violence is not the answer.

add "this is my official apology" to the list of things straight-up in yr face racists do that are confounding
there's no actual apology, and i don't mean it's insincere i mean she doesn't actually say anything apologetic. it's like claiming to have written an autobiography because you stapled together a pad of blank paper with the words "this is my official autobiography" on top. it's just like her "i'm not a hateful racist" bit.
i think this behavior comes down to the fact that the system/culture in america (and most of the western world probably) teaches everyone that racism is bad, being called a racist is awful and will result in your being ostracized, and the only black people worth respecting are the dead ones who stoically broke color barriers decades ago. it doesn't teach respect.
