I am a Chinese and I currently live in the states. The story from today’s PBS radio program lead me to chinasmack website. I was very shocked, not at the racist attitude, but at how they openly and shameless express their racism without any concern (毫无廉耻地). I taught at a Chinese university for some 10 years before I left the country. I know there is no arguing that racism is an issue in China.

I really wonder why you have left out all the sane and sympethic comments that clearly shows Chinese people are against racism? Here’re some examples I found on Baidu:

“洪晃：我们凭什么歧视混血女孩娄婧” – “Hong Guan: what right do we have to discriminate against mixed blood girl Lou Jin”

“娄婧没有错，对娄母也应多宽容” – “Lou Jing is blameless, her mother deserves understanding too”

“看中国男人怎对娄婧母女发邪火” – “observing Chinese male-chovanism againt Lou mother-daughter”

“娄婧的呼声感人肺腑” – “Lou Jing’s appeal [to find father] moved me to the core”

“娄婧天使舞台证明自己和大家一样” – “Lou Jing’s stage presence proves she is the same as everyone”

“并不是因为她有着奥斯卡影后上海“哈利贝瑞”的称号。而是娄婧切身的故事” – “not because she resembles Halle Barry, but because of her life story”

“勿以肤色论英雄” – Shouldn’t judge by skin color

” “黑珍珠”娄婧证明自我” – “black pearl” Lou Jing proves self-worth

“娄婧比模特儿更美” – Lou Jing is more beautiful than models

“大家多谅解她吧” – people should cut her some slack

“娄婧是个小天使，这与她的肤色无关” – Lou Jing is an angel, matters not what skin color

“黑色只是普通的肤色” – Black is but a normal skin color

“很佩服你的勇气” – I admire your [Lou Jing's] courage

“自认为一番高论的鸟语,首先让我感到你真丢我们炎黄子孙的脸” – your [racist] self-righteous BS made me feel you’ve lost face for all Chinese

“应该让我们所有的人值得同情” – they deserve all our sympathy

@anon: “/at the end of the day she is CHINESE!/

Nope. She’s half Chinese and half African American.”

You mean half Han. Chinese (as I’ve been told by many) is a nationality, so Uighurs and Tibetans, for example, who are in China and have Chinese citizenship are Chinese.

Is this right?

Dear China Geeks,
Please stop blogging about stuff that you find personally important or interesting. You have no right to an opinion (apparently now known as “Whining”), especially if people like anonymous do not agree with you, and of course if your opinions do not contribute to social stability.

Also, I would like to second this statement by the scholarly anonymous, “Europe and America are far, far more racist than China is or ever was or ever will be” (I double checked this with my crystal ball, its 95% accurate on race issues, 85% on economic issues, but only 25% accurate with lotto numbers).
I would also like to add, China and the Chinese are better than all of you whiteys, nah nah nah (blackeys too). All of the problems China has ever had have come from foreign devils. Oh and none of what I just said can be considered “racist bigotry” in any way shape or form, and the reason for this is basically cause I said so. Also, big ups to the Chinese Diaspora for utilizing values instilled in them through foreign institutions as a basis to denounce all foreigners

Great post and great comments in general.

Except for the anonymous guy. All he wrote is just a bunch of crap.

“In fact, for many Chinese, … even when they talk about America they mainly talk about the whites.”

You need to be asking yourself about the source of their perceptions of America (and the ‘west’ in general).
