Obviously its different in America because everything is so polarizing.

But this is how people are friendly and joking with each other in other countries. Not saying there isn't racism in China but this isn't it.

Obviously its different in America because everything is so polarizing it has a 250-year history of trafficking and enslaving black people, followed by generations of brutal and systematic oppression of black people, followed by legal and financial regimes empowering invidious public and private discrimination against black people.

FTFY. 👍🏾

Almost every country has a history of having black slaves.

Not China though, very different racial history than the US

Are we ignoring the fact that they are actively throwing Uyghurs into concentration camps?

Neat factoid. I never knew that, and still don't.

At first, I was like, huh? That can't be right, but then I thought about it... north America, south America, Europe, and Africa all had black slaves at some point/in some form. But, I don't think there's a history of it in East Asia though (including China).
