China is not the racist as depicted

Some thing's are better as never said and when words are spoken people should be accountable for what they say. Given that as responsibility, it could also be seen at another angle that there is also the responsibility for not saying what needs to be said.

Much could be said about the media little racist scheme during the U.S president's visit to China to improve economic ties and collaboration between the U.S and China.

Obama was on business trying to look for ways to fix up his bankrupt economy that was left to him in the worst state.

Firstly the white media tried painting China as anti-black racists and claims China disliked "chocolate coloured skin". Though this was not something that came from the Chinese mouths it was indeed straight out the mouth of white media who thought that they could make racists statements without taking responsibility by using China as a scapegoat.

When that agenda failed the white media turned racism on both Chinese and Blacks. Since Obama did not go to China to impose political hegemony or cause trouble by meddling in China's affairs,  the White racist media immediately jumped on Obama by labelling him as China's slave, criticizing Obama's friendliness as spineless.

Nonetheless, even if the Chinese did not find Black people beautiful then it would not indicate the same application of racism that is commonly known in the west. 

The racist white media would take it's opportunity to fuel more racial hate between ethnic people, perhaps the media reflects an actual ignorant society of majority sheepish herds and narrow mindedness when it comes to global affairs.

There is no doubt racism in the media and it's very much alive, the problem is detecting it.  Here in the hands of the white media, the west's finger pointing at others is the continuation of attempt to distract people from the real problems that exist within western own societies and criticize others for it. 

The recent stories about China and racism towards blacks has been circulating around the internet for quite some time now and it has come to the point where it's becoming rather irritating.

Popular western mainstream journalism is unapologetic when it comes to ignorance and biased views, therefore those who are a little free minded could be the fewer skilled in critical thinking, they should challenge racist media and it's service of public disinformation .

Some recent examples of media irritation comes from NY Times and Huffington post contributing and those self righteous columnist with have only wasted away everyone time with their ignorant opinions .

Racism im China and it's comparison to the western countries....

People need to understand that the way racism works in China is far different from that in western countries, it is not applied the same way or social grounds. The definition of Western racism is stems in imperialism, colonialism and white supremacy. e.g. The Xinjiang riots was not a race riot but rather more about terrorism.

In China racism works far differently and does not have contain the same social context and concepts as of the common western racism. People in China can be from any race and they are not likely to have problems with finding friends in a Chinese society, Chinese will welcome anyone who respects the people and culture and they will show hospitality towards foreign guests.

China is a multiracial, multi ethnic and multicultural population that emphasizes much on a harmonious society

However, there are definite tribal lines that are drawn when we consider family, values, ancestry, cultural aspects such as filial piety. Interracial relationships are one of those frown upon by different groups, unlike the west ethnic groups are a little more sensitive and it's never just about simply about 'race' or prejudice based on physical traits.

That is the extent of Chinese people's so called prejudice, the western concept of "racism" differs. Any disapproval of cultural groups are not applied externally or forced on others, the preferences are internalized as it follows ancestry lineages, class and social status as major contributing factors.

In China, people are constantly looking to create a harmonious society, stability and the much emphasized multiculturalism, the problem only arises when people cross certain ethnic/cultural boundaries and with reason this is does not necessarily make Chines people racist.

This is what most westerners do not understand, t is rather too easy for whites to pull the race card when that card was never meant to be played for whites who place themselves as the central race of the planet.

The media likes to judge the Chines society based on the values of their own society,  this is indeed the mistake that many will make when discussing about race; a completely different society yet the idiocracy will result when people fail to understand what is racism.

If some Chinese people were guilty of racism surely they would not be that much more guilty that everyone in the world?
