There are problems with black people everywhere they exist. While western countries are too PC to talk about it, many Asian countries aren't. They recognize diversity, and how it is both positive and negative. They also acknowledge that due to diversity there can never be true equality, so instead of trying to holdback some people so that others can appear to succeed, they just acknowledge the problems and move on.

I fully support countries that use trends to acknowledge and solve problems.
Congratulations you get my nomination for "Bigot of the Day".

China is not known for being good to their OWN people, what makes you think they will be good to visitors who they see as making trouble?

Regardless of it being true or not, that is just another rule of theirs. They make their own women have abortions for crying out loud. It is what they do, they dictate and overrule.

It dosen't matter what country the black comes from they are not to be served.
I told this to a friend from Africa and he thought I had to be lieing, he thought no country or people would ever be this blatantly racist in this period in history.
I also told him that much of their perception of us was introduced by American media.
Can someone please rationalize this for me, I'm trying not to be bitter, but it seems that as a black man there's just no chance of being seen as a true human being no matter where we live or visit.

But more to the point, the Chinese ARE racist. I think it will take them a few decades to get over it. They've been into their own thing for 5000 years or so, so my expectations of them aren't that high.

A few decades? I am still waiting for America to get over its racism....after several centuries. Black folks the world over need to unify because there are just too many people against us for us to be so divided.

Good point.

But I wouldn't try anything in China right now...better wait a while.

They don't play by our rules. Even the rules we don't follow all that well.

That's true. Most gestures against China are of the empty variety.
