    It’s hard to tell from the article whether the professor was protesting the Chinese government or intentionally getting the page blocked specifically so no Chinese students would apply.

        That’s a bar that didn’t want to deal with language barriers, because it has caused issues for them in the past. I don’t see how that’s relevant

          In both cases its using language to reject some people and accept others. I’m sure the professor had reasons the preferred not to interact with Chinese speakers, just like the bar/restaurant.
