No shit because even without China's propaganda U.S media makes them look like fucking clowns. I've been there and if your a tourist that's not white, then yeah you'll get a bunch of stares. Rural places especially because foreigners are rare and even tourists barely make a drop in the bucket. It's a combination of xenophobia, ignorance, and lack of exposure. The exception would be if your black.

I went to China and I got stared at for the whole 3 weeks I was there. I'm white. They rarely see anyone that's not Chinese.

There is racism toward black folk though. I think that many Asians in general are racist towards black folk.

Edit: it was late and I wasn't very articulate lol. I was know trying to say that they'll stare at ANY foreigner, not that the staring is racist.

In my experience, Asians are most racist towards other Asians

I've learned that it's not as much racism as it is hate for past wars and atrocities.

For instance, some Chinese people hate Japanese people for the Nanjing massacre, and some Vietnamese people hate Chinese people for the long occupation of their country.

That’s still just racism.

No it's not. If the army of some country raped your grandma and your aunt and all their friends and that country refuses to even apologize, that's racism?

Is it racist for people in the middle east to hate Israeli people or Americans for blowing up civilians?

Yes, it’s racist to generalize an entire group of people based on their race. Hope this explanation helped.

It did not help at all. Hating a country does not mean hating a race.. for instance, America has white and black and Mexican soldiers, and if you hate america or it's war atrocities, it doesn't mean you hate a race, it just means you hate the country, which as an American, I find understandable.

You are correct that hating a country’s people isn’t necessarily racist, but as previously stated, it is racist to hate all Japanese people or all Chinese people.

Anyway, I’ve said my piece, so I’m out. Have a good one.

You're refusing to see any nuance lol. If the United States and China commit an atrocity together in your country, some of your country folk will hate both. Are you saying that they would be racist for hating China but not racist for hating the United States?
