<p>支人 is the abbreviation of 支那人. 支那 was originally India's ancient name for China, and was later used by Japan. It has now become a derogatory term, somewhat similar to calling a Japanese Jap. &quot;支那人&quot; is often used on the Internet by Chinese languges users who oppose the Chinese government, and it is used to refer to Chinese people who are too patriotic, similar to 小粉紅. For example, in Taiwan, the term of Mainland China is often called 支語. But in some times, this is a severely discriminatory term.</p>
<p>殖 in 殖人 mean 殖民(colonization), and 殖人 are those who support colonialism and colonialist countries.

<p>支人 and 殖人 represent opposing positions in politics, which is why you mentioned that he was used to war up. To put it simply, for the 殖人, the 支人 blindly followed the Chinese government; for the 支人, the 殖人 blindly followed Western values.</p>

I agree with this answer. In addition, 支人 and 殖人 are all internet slangs. So this is the reason why they cannot be found in dictionaries. Also, most of them are used to attack people who have different opinions, so they are always used by rude people and shouldn't be used by nice people.

They are more than liberal or more Western-facing/supporting. This term is usually referring to those who say *everything is good in the West*. For example: The train that derailed in the US showed that US citizens have the freedom to consume contaminated food!
