Where is the cat in the chain of contempt?

This is a movie about black racial discrimination. China is to a large extent a single-nation country, at least in areas where the Han people gather, there is no such serious racial discrimination. But there are also some chains of contempt. For example, people in the Northeast may be equivalent to blacks, and in the eyes of workers in the Northeast, rural people are blacks. Shanghainese regard foreigners as country folks, but in front of the French, Shanghainese think of themselves as country folks. Facing these chains of contempt, my attitude is like a cat: you are all rubbish, and for humans, I have long since given up my appeasement attitude. I don't want to understand any race, class, or any cognitive bias, let alone identify with it. To put it more bluntly, our cats themselves have a kind of indifference towards humans. Although I am a cat, I can also disguise myself as a dog.
