Calling people peasant as an insult is assuming himself a higher class than the working class, which can tell who he is serving for. America should wake up to that.

Being poor is not embarrassing, being a farmer is not embarrassing, not having a degree is not embarrassing, not looking like a model is not embarrassing but what is embarrassing is how JD Vance present himself that is embarrassing. Trust me, the Chinese don’t feel bad for being called as peasants. Why? Because they are very much confident of the reality. They are just responding to someone that is rude and ignorant.

That peasants remark should offend every working class person who hears it.

Didn't JD Vance write a book essentially bragging about being a peasant?

It brought tears to my eyes when I heard the second talk about Chinese peasants. My parents and grandparents were all peasants who built and sacrificed so much, laying the foundation for all the beautiful things we enjoy today. I am deeply grateful for the kindness, strength, and sacrifices of all Chinese peasants. Because of them, I can be educated, intelligent, and lead a prosperous life. Their legacy will benefit my children and grandchildren for generations to come.

It's interesting how a peasant from China could build up a train to go 350 km / hour, and the city boys from America have not.
