Chinese people are as racist/nationalistic as any other Asian country. What about the anti-Japanese protests where mobs of Chinese people attacked Japanese restaurants or Chinese people driving Japanese cars? Anytime the Japanese PM decides to show up at the Yasakuni shrine which houses WW2 criminals, the entire country blows up in anger.
Alot of Chinese people do not like dark skinned people, especially blacks. They view having darker skin as being low class, because low class farmers who worked in the field under the sun all day recieve more exposure to sunlight, darkening their skin. There was that half-black half-chinese female singer who competed in that Chinese-Idol show who was made fun of for being half black by tons of Chinese viewers and told to get out of the country.
I heard racism over in the East was particularly bad, not that it isn't in other areas as well, but in particular over there.

The family I was staying with in China was very kind. One of their neighbors is a black teacher who married a Chinese local. The locals there were very nice to that black teacher and welcomed their family to house dinners regularly.
Perhaps we have different impressions of China or Asia in general due to personal experiences. After all that's said and done, I think the white on black racism in America and Europe, physically and mentally, are far worse than the racism in Asia.

My examples are FACTS, not impressions or perceptions.

Oh, come on. You're not doing yourself or your cause any favors, here, by functioning as an apologist for some rather notorious and provable stories yielded from China. Does America have racism? Of course it does, but I don't think you'll find me excusing it or even using that in a comparison from one country to another.
China's Olympic Hosting was practically ruined when it was called the "Genocide Olympics" because China vetoed a resolution by the UN, directed at Darfur. Don't, after everything we know, try and tell us about how China is this wonderful, forward looking country.
It's beginning to look less and less like you spent time as a foreign exchange student in China and more and more like you're the subject of Robert Jay Lifton's Book on Totalitarian Thought Reform in China.

The moment that mass numbers of Black people start emigrating to China legally/illegally will cause the entire country to implode with race riots, beatings, and fear-mongering. Don't be delusional, blacks will always have it much better here than they would in China.

No, I disagree. You're putting words in my mouth. There is no cause. I only speak my mind.

Is this what you were referring to?

Putting words in your mouth? How?
Dude! I keep trying to help you out, here, but you're not helping yourself. There are some fundamental facts in your narrative that are missing. The fact is, if they were there, your narrative would be much different, bordering on a sane awareness of reality.
What you're posting about China is lunacy, just as if I posted that America had a consistent history of treating its Native American population very well and only helped the countries used as a battleground for our proxy war with Russia during the cold war.

Thank you for your help.
China is far from perfect. I'm not here posting for China or against China. If that's implied then that's a misinterpretation. What I've posted was based on my personal experiences only.
