Justin Vernon is the dude's name, Bon Iver is a nom de plume or a band depending on how many people are playing

Somehow it seems to still be a little too ok in *educated liberal* circles to imply that Chinese people are a bunch of clone drones:

this is so true. i remember a couple of years ago hearing a story on npr about...something about Asian students coming to the US for college...and the entire piece had a really annoying crypto-"yellow menace" feel to it but then the reporter actually came out and said, "these students aren't necessarily automatons, though; they're well-rounded" or something like that and i was like "..."

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 dunno, compare contrast w other previously colonized countries/cultures/peoples. if a typical effect of colonial rule is "supposed deference", then...

These are absolutely astonishing. You get a lot of the same things when US news / culture outlets are dealing with Indian / Pakistani Americans. The advances made by black and latino groups in not being openly demeaned by people who would want to be viewed as not racist should have been a rising tide that lifted all boats - i can't fathom how anyone can think that stuff like this is remotely acceptable.

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.
