HashiriKata Posted September 28, 2004 at 01:32 PM Report Share Posted September 28, 2004 at 01:32 PM In my observation, people from poorer countries/ societies are generally prejudiced against, even if you've never have any experience or personal dealing with them. It's a regrettable state but it's also true in many other aspects of life too, for example: the language accent associated with the better off in a country tends to be regarded as the standard of that country because it's more "beautiful", Caucasian features are often considered as more "attractive", etc. When I was in Tokyo, I noticed that black males from the better-off, more fasionable countries in the West were very popular among more modern, trend-setting girls (against the general trend within Japanese society then). Even this is, when looked closely, also subject to the same reason as above. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xuechengfeng Posted October 2, 2004 at 03:34 PM Author Report Share Posted October 2, 2004 at 03:34 PM Sassy is/was a poster who basically got on everyone's nerves. Asking questsions is of course welcomed, and advice is consistently given here, but when your questions continually include such mind-numbing inquiries such as "Can you explain Chinese grammar," it gets old. Let's also not forget that she only wants explanations in all pinyin, no characters, and she TYPES like THIS!?!?!?! With excessive!!!!!! punctuation........!!!!! xiexie nin!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

zackzhou Posted October 3, 2004 at 06:44 AM Report Share Posted October 3, 2004 at 06:44 AM I don’t think there is a real discrimination against blacks in China. In fact, we don't have a lot of black people in china compared to places in north America, so it's like seeing something new when I see them on the street and such. I’m a Chinese, born and raised in China. In my social circle, all my friends and people I met never say something negative about blacks. I concede there are some discrimination terms in Chinese used in relation to blacks, such as "黑鬼", but I am sure these kinds of terms are totally translated or imported from western languages, at least to me, I learn them from watching American movies with Chinese subtitle, to some extent, all prejudice against blacks are transited from western culture. In our everyday conversation, the most frequent word we call black guys is “lao hei”, which is like “black buddy” that has nothing to do with racial discrimination.

bhchao Posted October 3, 2004 at 09:01 AM Report Share Posted October 3, 2004 at 09:01 AM Sassy followed every sentence with exclamation marks, like this (!!!!!!!!!!!!!!).

hamz Posted October 11, 2004 at 08:48 AM Report Share Posted October 11, 2004 at 08:48 AM I can say it is very occasional that blacks were discriminated in China. Maybe they are stared in the street, just coz most chinese people seldom see black people in china. They just feel curious, (surely I don't think it is good. ) but If Chinese seldom appear in your land, I dare to say you also want to look for a bit long time, right? it is not discrimination.

ChouDoufu Posted October 11, 2004 at 09:56 AM Report Share Posted October 11, 2004 at 09:56 AM To say that racism doesn't exist in China is a little bit extreme. It isn't prevalent (because it's a homogenous society for the most part), but racism definitely exists. I'm sure almost every foreigner who has lived in China has encountered a situation where, because of their race, they received less of something, or had to pay more for something than a chinese person would. That is racism. Words like 黑鬼 are not imports. They're the words that Chinese created for themselves. Once I was in 阳朔 and wanted to go to a park. It had a sign that said, "5元" I watched 10 Chinese people walk in without paying, but the attendant stopped me when I tried to go in. When I asked why she said it was because I wasn't Chinese. I think it's racism. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hamz Posted October 12, 2004 at 06:41 AM Report Share Posted October 12, 2004 at 06:41 AM coudoufu, you are right. There are some nicknames about foreigners. but you know, there are more nicknames about other chinese peoples who live in other provinces. so the point is not treating foreigner or domestic people. when I was travelling in Yanshuo this year, I meet the same problem as you, and must pay more bus fee in some lines. just because I am not a local people. and I was very angry about that. But more and more cities are beginning to get rid of those unfair and disgusted rules. and these actions are taken by China goverment. I am glad to see some big cities Like Guangzhou, Shanghai, Beijing and Shenzhen have done a good job on geting rid of discriminatory rules.

skylee Posted October 12, 2004 at 12:12 PM Report Share Posted October 12, 2004 at 12:12 PM This reminds me that I was asked to pay to get into a park in Bath, England and I am pretty sure that at least a white couple with a pram had got in without paying.
