What does the the queen of Britain having Indian DNA roots have to do with anything? That's great if she does. We are talking about society's preference for white skin. The queen of Britain has white skin, not that it matters to me. I treat everyone equally. I'm only bringing this up because you brought it up.

Half truth, India have Caste system,true. Any ones caste will never matter for getting job, one's qualification would matter. I am Indian and i know India first hand, In India your race,caste or color of skin does not make any differance when it comes to job/work. You will not get English teaching job because you are white or native like in china,neither you will be paid more than your colleague for being white/native. I have no problem if any female prefer any male,but it would be totally wrong to say Indian women as a whole would prefer whites.I don't have problem even if they do. If you will ever go India you will see that Indian girls will not give you that much attention you get in china for just being white.again i have no problem with white ,brown,black,yellow,red,purple what ever skin color anyone have or prefer or like.I m here just trying to show the real facts which someone is not aware off while living in his little hole. Your comment above " 4) White skin is worshiped in China and the rest of Asia. Even in India white skin is prized. Add this -----------------> 7) Kiss Chinese peoples' butts. Treat them better than you would treat family Seems somehow you are ignorant little brain and want to prove that "white skin get/should worshiped everywhere" is just delusion you are living with. By any chance are you still wearing Nazi swastika on your cloths or not? For your enlightenment Swastika was borrowed from Hinduism/Buddhism(it means lucky charm for well being) and Nazis fucked up with it, now it does not mean well being anymore to world. Your comments and thinking pattern is so shallow,seriously something is going wrong in there,if you have any grey cells left alive in there try and see your inner self.

People can date whomever they want to date. You can't force people to date another race. Quit the everyone is racist crap. You came to this country on your own free will, don't expect people to roll out the red carpet when you come to China! It's not going to happen. Respect is earned, not given!

I was talking about dating preferences, not job qualifications. Absolutely, a person should get a job based on qualifications, the ability to adapt to the corporate culture, and the ability to communicate with coworkers. If you needed heart surgery and you have to choose between two doctors, which would you choose? The Caucasian doctor with ten years experience in heart surgery with a good track record or the black person who just graduated from medical school? Your body, your choice.

You're absolutely deluded if you think people are coming to China expecting a red carpet treatment. As to this respect is earned not given bullcrap. Who told you that? My parents taught me that you treat people with respect until they give you a reason not to. Not the other way around. People coming to China expect to be given the same level of respect we would give to a Chinese person in our own countries. I come from a very multicultural country and if you came to my country to work you would be treat no better or worse than a local. Well, until you started spouting your racist comments and then someone would come along and chin you.

RESPECT IS EARNED, NOT GIVEN! Just like money is earned, not given! This applies to everyone, including Asians. This is not racism. You being an uneducated idiot with no values is stupidism. If you chin someone because of your ignorance a mob of people might chin you back.

Yeah sure going around treating people respectfully is going to get me hurt. Believe it or not by saying that you should treat someone with respect until they give you a reason not to is actually a value. When I said spouting racist comments I was referring to comments that you make on a regular basis attacking people on this website. A website which is made for expats not Chinese. Here we're the mob and you sir are the ignorant one. I wouldn't call myself uneducated considering the fact that I went to University in Europe. A place where education is highly sort after and respected worldwide. Unlike China where Chinese people don't even respect their own education. An education system that is consider a joke worldwide. Going around attacking people because of their nationality and treating people with disrespect because of their nationality is racist. Pure and simple. You know you're a racist I don't even know why you're trying to deny it. Some of that respect that you are so keen to earn would be earned if you didn't live your life in denial.

This is more of a list of ways to hate your stay. 1) Discover the Culture : That's kinda the problem in the first place. Hoards of middle aged women dancing to shitty music, spitting, public urination/defecation, xenophobia... discovering these doesn't make for an enjoyable stay. 2) Learn the Language : Awesome. Now you know exactly how the locals are insulting you when they think you don't understand. 3) Get Grounded : So, don't spend too much time with the locals. That actually might count as good advice. 4) Understand Biases Towards Other Races : Understanding racism doesn't make racism less shitty. 5) Escape from your Comfort Zone : Experiencing "the entire spectrum of experience China has to offer" is what gets people pissed off in the first place. 6) Eat the Food : Luckily, the smoke being blown in your face will distract you from thinking about the lack of hygiene standards.

There is no way that understanding racism makes it more acceptable. If White Americans thought the same way then Chinese in the US would still be building railways in the middle of nowhere and Blacks would still work in cotton fields. Making the apology of deep ingrained racism makes you a racist too regardless of which end of the stick you are on. The Chinese need to change their mentality toward other races and broaden their horizons, for their own good. And no, Shanghai is not a world city because what defines an international city is not how many skyscrapers it has but how accepting of outsiders it is, and even in SH most local people still stare at Foreigners and single them out. Also nice try blaming Whiteys for Chinese racism, doesn't take with anyone, but nice try.

Staring at someone is not racism. When you expats don't get your ways, you like to cry racism. You expats need to change your mentality towards the Chinese people and broaden your horizons. Learn the language and understand the culture, hangout with Chinese people. Don't hang out with closed minded expats. The majority of expats in China hangout with each other and get wasted and high, and trash talk and lie.

Sitting on your couch and mocking every other country is easy. It's always advised to get an insight into both sides of the country, but we have a tendency to see and comment only on the dark sides. But do we get anything from this? It would hardly matter to me if you make such comment but there are some culturally sensitive people you will come across. I do agree with your statement, there is no country on this planet without loopholes. I could also find some and comment here if I knew your nationality.But I won't do that. That's what separates me from you.

Try not to think about getting sick??? I knew a guy who had this attitude, he ended up in a hospital for over 2 months and had to go back to his home country. You don't get paid for being sick. And the fact is, hospitals are the worst here. So, I'm gonna try to avoid getting sick.
