Afro-American tourist pisses of the nation of China - Chinese people outraged! (VIDEO)

They already know:

Racism against black people may be the strongest form of racism in China.

Many families in China would be horrified if their son or daughter married a black person. Some would even disown them outright.

It can be difficult getting a job teaching English in China if you are black. This is because of the perception of many people in China that only white people are ‘true Americans’ or ‘true English’ people.

Sadly, it’s often easier to get a job teaching English in China as a white person from a country where English is not a native language than as a black person from a country where English is the only native language.

Many people in China think most black people play basketball and are violent. If you are black, many people from China will perceive you as African. If you are not, you will have to repeatedly explain that you are from another country.

The most common slur against black people in Chinese seems worse than that used for white people – “black ghost” vs. “old ghost”. Many people in China also assume that if you are black, you have very little money.

Racism against blacks in China is also strongly linked to the class divisions and racism that exists within Chinese society. This is not a justification for racism against blacks in China, but for thousands of years Chinese people of lighter skin looked down upon those of darker skin, who often could not afford to be anything other than a peasant farmer.

Though racism in China is strongest against black people, there is a general relationship that determines how foreigners are seen by many people in China: The darker your skin, the more racism you will experience.

No matter where you grew up, if you are not white it will be tougher to get a job teaching English in China.

Apparently an Afro-American tourist visiting China has upset the entire nation, after this released video spread rapidly over the internet in that region, showing a black American tourist verbally insulting and hitting a Chinese couple:

After the internet video leaked, people on Chinese web forums were calling for racial segregation laws and immigration reforms to be enacted.

W..T..F?

I really doubt this black guy was a tourist in China. I have never seen blacks in China. I think he's in America in Chinatown...either SFO or NYC.

He's a disgusting and evil thug!

This wasn't a tourist, this was a u.s soldier. African American *dont* have enough money to afford international vacations...

He's a disgusting and evil thug!

And they ain't wrong in their beliefs or practices. Africans belong in Africa. Wish the hell we could ship them back to the bush.
