Racism in china
I love my city. Everyone is soo nice to me. At first, I was thinking maybe they don't know I'm Black. Four months later they may know and just don't care!!!! In America, were almost brainwashed to think the whole world hates us because of your skin color. I must admit I still have to get used to it. I thought I was going to experience abrupt racism and was prepared for it. I grew up in Beverly in the 90s before Obama was even a thought. At 10 years old, I was cussing out white men for calling me nigger. No one holds their purse when i walk pass or follow me in the store. If anything they help me more because I'm a foreigner. A man today held my hand because I didn't have gloves. Then he kissed my hand. I almost had a panic attack because I don't do the pda hold my hands like we walking around Buckingham fountain in love jones movie thing. lol. Chinese people come in all different shades. Some are pale like they never seen sun. Some look Indian, black, or even Mexican. Of course on this side of the world no one wants to be dark because it means you work outside or don't have any money. It's the opposite in our country because everyone wants to tan to simplify " i have so much money i can do nothing but travel and sit in the sun all day" Anyway, this guy was pale Chinese and still held my hand. The contrast is quite different because of my beautiful butterscotch skin. lol. He thought it was beautiful. I remember when I was 13 i was walking my white neighbor child hand and a white guy screamed "whats wrong with that picture"
People here don't even understand simple things like being stopped because of your skin color, etc. My Chinese friend, bless his heart, Winter said" but you guys had Martin Luther King, he ended all racism... I didn't have a response. Its like trying to explain why bad things happen to a 4 year old. Their culture is all about helping people. I mean if you say in general conversation I haven't been to the movies yet here, I want to go. I guarantee in 2 days someone will call you and say can you meet me now. I have tickets for the show for you. Its almost amazing and shocking. So then I wonder why are Chinese different in America. In China, they call them ABCs which stands for American Born Chinese. They are against growing up and living in America. They believe you should go their for a better education and return to YOUR country. It must be nice to say I'm going back to MY country. USA is like a place where most of us live but we don't consider that our country. That's another blog coming. Chinese people in Chicago in the shops follow you around thinking u are going to steal. Honestly, can you blame them? You never see Chinese beauty supplies, restaurants, etc in affluent neighborhoods. You see them in the hood. Them niggaz steal plane and simple. I would follow yall too!!! I remember my mom saying I'm not going to that Chinese restaurant on 87th. They don't even take debit cards. It's cause they're in a black neighborhood. BINGO! Why cause of the scams they do in the hood with debit cards. I wouldn't take them either. So its really not the person who is responsible sometimes but their enviroment Everyone doesn't have the intelligence to learn outside their surroundings.
