When Chengdu won the 2023 Worldcon bid, a significant number of people in fandom claimed that any suggestion that it had been "bought" was racist. I wonder if these people are going to come out of the woodwork again to claim that it's racist to accuse any Chinese entity of being behind the attempt to buy a Hugo. Or maybe they'll even say that the disqualification of the 377 votes was "racist."
