I don't think now is the time or the place for snark.

Wait, so one McDonald's puts a racist sign up and that translates into 1.5B people being racists?

The Chinese, and E Asian countries in general have a very racist side to them. They can show a particular harshness towards Blacks, but it's no just Blacks they disdain.

Different E and SE Asian countries even have racist views on other Asians. Like the tribal divisions in African areas. Racial integrity is a big thing. Children of mixed heritage often find life to be less than pleasant.

Truly, those who think racism is a problem in the US need to spend some time in Asia. They would find the experience...enlightening.

Are you denying that racism is prevalent in East Asia? I would argue that Japan is more racist than the USA, and it wouldn't surprise me if it's the same in China.

There are many reports that whites were denied entry to man restaurants as well, over fear of the coronavirus. Imagine if such a thing was prevalent over here? I know of only 1 case where a Chinese citizen was denied a room at a hotel in the USA over concerns of the virus.

How does my statement in any way imply that?

yeah agreed.

It certainly is not the white people, black people, or brown people who claim fancy asians = Japanese, chinese, korean, jungle asians = Vietnamese, Cambodians, etc, etc. All asians are the same, but somehow, they have to discriminate against each other . lol It doesn't get any dumber than that.

Asians (many of them) can be super racists. Don't play the victim card all the time. Look at yourself in the mirror first before pointing finger at others.

Look how the Chinese treat their own people from Wuhan, scary to say the least!

My brother joined the Marine corps after high school, and since he is 1/4 Japanese, boy oh boy, the old Asians folks think there is something wrong with my brother and my brother must be dumb. (translation: their asian children are so much better than my brother)

Nope, my brother was a straight A student, a talented artist, a star athlete, and a fitness model (well, it has nothing to do with intelligence, but thought I'd brag =) He's a patriotic person and a damned good Marine. Period. what can I say? Jealousy is an ugly thing. lol My brother graduated from UC Berkeley, and he is running his own million dollar business. Who is laughing now?

This said, not every Asian is a racist or a bigot, but many of them can be. Time to face the fact and start treating all races equal. There is no such a thing as model minority. Give me a break, lol

If things suddenly started to be like China in the US in terms of racial views there would be cities on fire in every state. I haven't been to China, but I have to Japan. And the two are quite similar as to views on race.

As I understand it SE Asia, Vietnam, Laos et al, are hard line as well. Things are pretty much the same throughout Asia. My Dad and others I knew who were in Vietnam multiple tours all said the same thing about their experiences.

Mixed race children of Vietnamese mothers were often murdered. Often by their mothers or by her relatives. That's just the way it is. And these Asian people could care less about world opinion.

They dont care a dried rat turd in a twister if people in the US or anywhere call them racists. That word has no stigma to them. Go ahead and call them racist. You may as well call them by their given name for all they care.

They'll still drown biracial babies with gusto and zeal. It means no more to them than tossing out a dead rat. And the mothers that gave birth to these children may be disposed of as well. For dishonoring the family.

E and SE asia still have some very traditional regions. Jaoan and S Korea and places in China that or Westernized dont act quite so brutally. But their opinions are still strong.

I got involved with a Chinese girl in high school. Her family were first gen immigrants. They flipped when they found out about she and I. She was forbidden to even talk to me again.

And sadly she never did. Theres no Romeo and Juliet twist to that story. I was a qui lo. End of line. Large parts of E and SE Asia are far from being progressive.

.
There are many Chinese women who want to marry western men. I have a cousin who is a bit "slow", he got his mail order bride from China and the woman seemed to be nice at the very beginning. After two years of "marriage", we found out my cousin is still a virgin. She dumped my cousin and married another loser western man. lol

Many Chinese want mixed babies, or want their babies to look westerners. Her family's fake outrage is laughable.

Wonder if African nations will follow this call to expel Chinese from their countries...

Curious how some of the same people that are quick to highlight racism in China, are the very same people that then ignore, deny, and downplay acts of racism against Asian Americans across America. These people will say that these hate crimes in America are all 'fake' and 'exaggerated.'

Double standards anyone?
