     Xīfāng zhǔliú méitǐ hé báizuǒmen hěn xǐhuān tōuhuàn gàiniàn, bǎ suǒyǒu nànmín hùnwéiyītán, zhǐ tán rén de gòngxìng, ér hūlüè le rén de chāyì. [Pinyin]

     Mainstream Western media and the white left like to deliberately confuse one thing with another, and treat all refugees as the same―they only focus on the commonalities of humankind, but ignore the differences between people.

Based on Zhihu definitions reported by Chenchen Zhang (2017), the “white leftists” depicted by this word are stereotypically well-educated but naive and hypocritical Westerners who “only care about topics such as immigration, minorities, LGBT and the environment” and who advocate a welfare state which “benefits only the idle and the free riders”, motivated by the desire to “satisfy their own feeling of moral superiority”. The implication is an “ignorant and arrogant” Western-centric attitude with the unspoken assumption that only Western liberal societies are worth living in.
