Topic: news Go East and Prosper: Africans Communities in Guangzhou

I do not think it is quite fair to say that Chinese or any people of the world make some of their judgements based on blind ignorance. Part of it may well be ignorance, however, part of it is a real rational judgement whether a good judgement or not. It is like Mark Cuban admitting if he sees a "black guy in a hoodie" or a "bald white guy with tattoos" he is going to cross to the other side of the street. Logically, your chances of running into trouble with either of those actors is statistically and probably practically higher - some Chinese judging blacks as a greater threat or having social problems is part ignorance and sometimes racism to be sure, but it is also founded on the underlying fact that Africa and the people of Africa by in large have more social problems, violence, and criminality in their communities. It might be a bad stereotype, but it is also a safe stereotype. At the same time, would most Chinese you know get past the stereotype and be accepting of an African if they got to know them? I think they would, and that speaks to something good about Chinese people and people in general.
