We're seeing anti-Chinese sentiment throughout the world in response to the virus. That's wrong. The people are not their government (which may not even deserve blame). I'm much more worried about anti-foreign sentiment in China. It's getting bad.

No. I am less worried about anti USA sentiment in China. Have you seen any LaoWai yelled at or punched up in China? Some Americans really took actions on Chinese here

It depends on how you define racist but for sure people in China and most of East Asia think black people are dirty and stupid. That’s not arguable to anyone who knows the region. I mean, they think white people are dumb, uncultured, and Easy marks. That said, what happened at

I’m not excusing this behavior from Chinese (or anyone) but it’s a lot easier to be “racist” in a homogenous country and if you travel abroad you will notice that America is one of the least “racist” countries in the world.

I don’t disagree at all, just responding to the suggestion from the OP that this supposed anti-Chinese people sentiment in the US is not reciprocated overseas.

I feel you, but at the same time I wouldn’t be surprised if there was big community transmission amongst chinas black population and China, without compunction for fear of being accused of being racist, just decided to quarantine blacks. It’s not racist sentiment here necessarily

I’m not sure, but that is possible in this scenario. I’m just eye rolling at the tendency of cultural self-loathing by some when China, by and large, is much more racist against virtually any non-Han group. Yeah, we have bad apples, but that’s not larger American society.

The big problem is the media they consume (we have the same problem). Their education is also full of very nationalist propaganda. Chinese people who’ve never been to America think there is a shootout on every block because of our guns.

IMO, 99% of people complaining about racism are exaggerating it or just wrong. Doesn’t mean it doesn’t happen and doesn’t mean it’s not a problem but man do we hear more about it than we need to.
