There are racism towards any ethnic minority group whether its black, Arabs, Asians etc etc. I don't believe there are more sig racism directed at the Chinese/East Asians than any other group. Every country has its racism element, whether its in China, Japan, Britain, Russia, Australia or any part of the world. I have been racially insulted by black people as well as whites before.

Pinkerton (= Jeff Minter?),
I guess as a BBC working in China, this is your 1st time being a foreigner in a foreign country.
Imagine yourself in Britain and you can't speak english but you look english. I bet it's a strange experience.
In China, you look chinese but you can't speak the language. Not much conversation is there?

The Chinese language is made up of so many different dialects that most Chinese in China could not communicate with each other!

Nah! I bet people who speak the same dialects tend to live in the same district province. |

Nancy, don't fall for this bullshit talk.
Are British Born Chinese who don't speak Mandarin regarded as a separate 'race' in China?
It is nonsense! |
