(OT) China Kicks Off New Year With 'Blackface' Sketch for 800 Million Viewers :thumbsup:
I know, this really doesn't belong here, but it was too rich to pass up.
I guess China hasn't gotten the memo that black people are a protected group you aren't allowed to insult.
Oh wait, yes they did, and as racists, this is their response, Black face Chinese. :thumbsup:

An observation.
China emerged thousands of years ago; their first dynasties being the Han and Qin of the 6th century BC.
Since the Greeks, anthropologists have classified them as Mongoloids of a yellow race.
Similarly, Caucasians were classified as a white race and Negroids of a black race.
These are scientific classifications having absolutely no derogatory intent.
How people/groups behave over time is the reason they earn favorable/unfavorable labels;
not because of their race class.
Sadly far too many American Negroes are beyond oblivious to this reality.

That right there is the reason Chinese see themselves as superior to all races, and there's nothing wrong with that, they are racist (by the true definition) and always have been.
One thing about Chinese, they'll tell you to your face why they don't like you, and if you aren't Asain, they'll gladly lump you in with stereotypes, eg. Mexicans and blacks are lazy, South Americans and Indians from India stink, Russians are thieves and the list is long, and yes, they will quickly stereotype you before you even meet them.
Gotta love the open, NON PC culture. :biggrin:
Those sort of look like real, black people lol...........
I mean arms, legs, hands, feet......
Not knocking your theory of the Asian folks being insanely racist, bigoted, etc. Because they are, quite proudly and without hesitation.
It's just that I don't think that's "blackface". Not in the Al Jolson / Amos & Andy tradition anyway.

I know, I had to do a double, triple take to be certain.
As to the racist part, just ask any Chink you know, they won't lie, then they'll go about telling you how stupid you are for even questioning them, you racist pig. :wink: :biggrin:
Having been around the world and having many Chinese friends, the parents are the worst, especially if they are FOB and old.
I've been told many times by them, they see us as weak and lazy, oh, and they really dislike Americans in general, they see us as opportunists that can't be trusted.
Funny, I see them the same way. I guess I'm racist too? :biggrin:
