To be blunt yet obviously over-generalizing, China and the Chinese are extremely racist. So are the Japanese and the Koreans. It's a very different culture there. The lighter skinned are exceptionally racist against the darker skinned. For whatever reason, they also tend to have the wealth to enforce their prejudices. I had a Cambodian friend who "hated" her dark skin. There's tons of products for lightening your skin that are very popular.

I once sat a table with guys from several different countries across China and Southeast Asia and they were all just openly racist against each other and laughing about it. None of them knew each other so it wasn't like they were friends or something. It was the kind of stuff that would have started a fight in America.

Because it's a much more complex dynamic and because of the greater mono-racial construct of each country, racism is far more accepted. It's not like one race was brought over in ships and enslaved for 400 years before being systematically re-enslaved by other means. So it has a different connotation in most people's minds. America is a very mature country that has a self-awareness and works on its many problems. People vastly under-rate this aspect of America.

The Chinese have a derogatory for American social justice warriors, "baizou." I love to use it to needle my friends with SJW tendencies. The differences in cultures is something we can all learn from.

That is the way it should be. This is something we should admire. It is not normal the way snowflakes can't take any criticism in America. Literally everything is called racist. You literally can't even bring up statistical facts without some liberal throwing a tantrum. That is no way to live. That leaves no room for intellectual discussion. It basically "accept all our bullshit claims or you are racist".

It's called: DEMORALIZATION. Yuri Bezmenov explained this. It would come to America from Russia.

Since Yuri isn't here perhaps you could explain what you are talking about.

thank you for sharing, I've always found this interesting. I've read about this a lot, I'm not sure if "baizou" is also the term for it or if there is another one, but they also have one for basically self-hating whites. I understand where their culture is basically at (at least I thought so), what I don't get is: I thought China and Africa were getting along well as foreign relations go (even if China is faking it and taking advantage of Africa), with Africa sharing their resources and China sharing their technology. The "mutually beneficial deal". I've literally seen quotes in articles with China's officials saying Africa is an important ally, and this isn't how you treat an "ally's" citizens staying or studying abroad in your home country..

Even despite this "deal" they have, they're willing to treat Africans like this still?

"China is now Africa’s biggest trade partner, with Sino-African trade topping $200 billion per year. According to McKinsey, over 10,000 Chinese-owned firms are currently operating throughout the African continent, and the value of Chinese business there since 2005 amounts to more than $2 trillion, with $300 billion in investment currently on the table. Africa has also eclipsed Asia as the largest market for China’s overseas construction contracts. To keep this momentum building, Beijing recently announced a $1 billion Belt and Road Africa infrastructure development fund and, in 2018, a whopping $60 billion African aid package, so expect Africa to continuing swaying to the east as economic ties with China become more numerous and robust.

As Chinese President Xi Jinping once pointed out, “Inadequate infrastructure is believed to be the biggest bottleneck to Africa’s development.” Collectively, the countries of Africa would need to spend $130-170 billion per year to meet their infrastructure needs, but, according to the African Development Bank, they are coming up $68-$108 billion short. Closing Africa’s infrastructure gap has been the obsession of multiple waves of colonists, and China is the next in line to reach into the heart of the continent with railroads, highways, and airports.

“Europeans built infrastructure in Africa at the turn of the century, purportedly also for local economic development, but in essence the projects were used for natural resource extraction. The predecessor of both the Nairobi-Mombasa and Addis Ababa-Djibouti railways can be categorized as such. Both connect inland regions with mineral deposits with major ports on the Indian Ocean,” wrote Xiaochen Su on The Diplomat. Infrastructure is what Africa needs most and infrastructure is what China is most equipped to provide.

Is this just a matter of them taking over/taking advantage of/raping Africa and not giving a fuq about Africa's people? Is this propaganda to make us hate China? Why would China spit on this opportunity (or "deal") they've already so heavily invested in? Maybe I'm reading into it 2 much, idk. Just seemed so random.

They went into africa thinking they could develop it and have a mutually beneficial relationship. They learned that in Africa nearly everyone you employ tries to steal from you at every turn. No one does an honest days work. So they bring in Chinese workers and now they are called racist for not hiring locals. Even with a chinese work force they get robbed by locals, the infrastructure they build gets stripped of pipes if not guarded etc.

The narrative in the west that racism is based on skin color is a full on lie. The narrative that Africa is what it is because of foreigners is a lie.

It is unfortunate that good people get a bad rap from bad people in thier group. But denying that this bad rap comes from the actions of people in these groups is ignorant. Saying that the people who acknowledge the problems with these groups are at fault and not the people in these groups who cause the problems is bat shit, ass backwards, insane.

Lol. Cool generalization fallacy.

It's not a fallacy is an approximation. Claiming it is a fallacy implies that it has no validity, which is untrue. You can measure the productivity of African workers and the Chinese workers who replaced them and prove there is a huge difference. Why do leftists always bullshit about this fact?

The ruling Party of China cannot let go. Much like North Korea, they are personally invested. If they fail, they die. Unlike Trump, the are not great leaders.

They exist under the thumb of Gates and Soros. In short, they got fucked.

I thought China and Africa were getting along well as foreign relations go

Despite that, the thought of interracial families is not pleasant to Chinese. They wouldn't mind having good foreign relations as long as they are apart.

Yeah, that makes complete sense (as far as their culture goes), I just didn't realize they actually acted this way openly to black people as well. I thought it was more of a "known/open-cultural-secret" that didn't impact day-to-day interactions, but would impact things like relationships and maybe even businesses or investments.

I didn't realize the treatment of the common/random African/black person was affected like this as well. It honestly seemed very random & like news articles across all spectrums (such as alternative/underground news, to MSM, left/right), began reporting on how China was "targeting black people" in various ways (check the links I linked to below) out of nowhere all of the sudden starting 2 weeks ago. The media is making it seem like a random racist campaign on China's end without giving cultural context because that doesn't fit america's world view I guess.

I agree, the Chinese are very racist and nationalistic.

Also, Jesus said: Never take offense. Woe to those who take offense. Offense is a sin and we must not take offense to the flesh like SJW's do.
