Chinese: Aren't you literally living in the land your ancestors stole from native Americans?
American: WTF!! HOW DARE YOU POINT OUT MY HYPOCRISY!! THIS IS WHATABOUTISM!!!!!!!

Get the Whataboutismmug. 'Hold on this situation is similar to the one you behaved in a different manner about last week.'

Get the Whataboutismmug. A symptom of people who don't really understand how to convey their point, so they resort to saying "What about X??" in order to have the other person understand their point without actually saying anything to make them believe it. We've all been a victim of whataboutism.
Person: What about the fork you threw at me??
Me: shut your whataboutism and go back to bed
Person: its eight in the morning.
Me: so??
