Setting aside the random chip on your shoulder and just addressing your claim, how many non-Asians do you think a Taiwanese firm has? RoC tech visas are not so easy to get.

British Rail and National Rail are not even attempting the same role. BR was a vertically integrated organisation that got to maintain tracks and run trains. NR maintains the infrastructure for rail firms of various levels of competence who then proceed to cause reliability issues through feats like not managing to have enough drivers (hello Southern) and costing more in subsidies than BR did. So, well, you're slightly unfair to BR here.
Sure, and if you weren't claiming these donated costs as justifying your own costs, then that would be fair. As it is, it is extremely disingenuous to claim those costs in a comparison to open access, zero-cost to reader journals, which also have those costs donated.
Sure. I agree that racists are a subset of the set 'people I don't agree with'.
I'm OK with that.

A quick visit to Voat will tell you the utter cess pit of racists that that results in.
Classy with the affiliate link there, that wasn't at all transparently motivated.
If the New York Stock Exchange shut down trading of currencies that wouldn't indicate you could not use those currencies to buy goods and services - including other currencies! on other exchanges! - outside of the NYSE. This is why you are able to spend dollars outside of the NYSE trading hours (Monday through Friday, 9:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m).
This community - and you - are really quite disgustingly prejudiced.
If people don't want modern preservatives, BPA, MSG, GMO, or whatever today's vilified buzzword is, I'm generally ok with it.
What peeves me is when the primary difference is labelling and presentation. It's increasingly a problem everywhere, but Whole Foods does it more than anyone:
* Sugar => Evaporated Cane Juice
* Contains 10% whole grains => Made with 100% Whole Wheat (and other ingredients)
* Raisins => Gluten-free, Vegan, Kosher certified dried grapes
* High Fructose Corn Syrup => High Fructose Cactus Syrup (agave syrup)
* Artificial vanilla flavor => All Natural vanilla flavor (made from fermented grains without any vanilla pods)
Even the cold, hard numbers of the nutritional facts are being gamed through reduced serving sizes and rounding.
This is factually untrue. See XXX, XXXX, XXXX, XXY, XY/XXY mosaic, XYY. The list goes on.
