While American liberals castigate President Donald Trump as racist for countering Chinese Communist Party propaganda (which claims the coronavirus originated in America) by referring to the "Chinese virus," black people in China face extra quarantines, exclusion from businesses, suspicion from police, and some have even been booted from their own homes in the name of fighting the virus.
"The way they are treating black people, you cannot accept," Congolese businessman Felly Mwamba, who has lived in China for 16 years and now faces restrictions in the southern city of Guangzhou, told The New York Times. He said he found himself sealed in his home, prohibited from leaving and viewed with suspicion as a carrier of the disease, simply because he was African. "We are not animals."
The Chinese Communist Party has claimed that its tyrannical restrictions stopped the spread of the coronavirus in the Middle Kingdom until those darned "foreigners" started bringing the virus back. It is far more likely they are lying to cover up the pandemic, just as they did before. As even The Times admitted, the new imported cases come from "Chinese nationals returning home."
"Though the Chinese government denounced racist attacks against Asians overseas when the outbreak was centered in China, it now casts people from other countries as public health risks," The Times reported.
The attacks on foreigners seem particularly targeted against black people. Africans in Guangzhou told The Washington Post they have been evicted from their apartments and refused entry to restaurants. Other residents in a part of the city known as "Little Africa" are being forced to remain in their apartments, even if they have not traveled anywhere that would warrant quarantine, and submit to coronavirus tests.

"People are not happy because they’re being forced out of their apartments and into hotels where they have to pay [$30] a night for 28 days," Maximus Ogbonna, the president of a Nigerian community group in Guangzhou, told The Post. Although he completed a 14-day quarantine in March after returning from Nigeria, he was told by local officials on April 8 that he had to undergo a second 14-day quarantine, even though he had tested negative for the virus and had not traveled elsewhere. Ogbonna is restricted to his apartment, where police installed a camera over the door to monitor him.
Of the 183 people who have returned with the virus from outside China in Guangdong province, of which Guangzhou is the capital, only 22 were from Africa. Roughly 30,000 foreigners live in the city, including about 4,500 Africans.
But only whites can be racist.
More precisely, a Communist can never be racist, unless he’s less Communist than you.
Boycott the ChiComs.
Is LeBron o.k. with this?
Obviously the people who are shocked about this have never actually been to China.
Not the shiny tourist areas, but the “normal” people areas where everything is made.
The dirty areas of Ningbo or Chengdu, it would open your eyes.
The Red Chinese oligarchy is the Democrat Party's blueprint for America!
I’ll tell you, one of the great ironies that exists in the modern world is that, due to the propaganda of our own media, it’s conventional wisdom globally that the U.S.A. is a very racist country.... when in fact we’re the least racist country. I’ve been to many countries the world, and nowhere do you less racism than the U.S. There’s no other country where you see so many people of so many different races enjoying wealth, prosperity and positions of influence in all fields.
It’s built into our DNA
Thus our excuse should be
“Hey, That’s just the way we are
Nothing we can do about it. Accept it”
Racist communist ..how can it be? /s
I recently met some Chinese investors in a tech startup. There was a Chinese PhD student making part of the company’s presentation. The investor’s reaction to him was cold. As soon as he could, he found a reason to leave. Later, I asked him why. He looked around to be sure no one overheard, “They are (word starting with H.) I am (different word) They look down on us.” To me, there were no obvious differences. Racist? Very.
You can literally point to any country in the world and find more racism than you will find in America. In Mexico aboriginal Mexicans are second class citizens, as just one example. You will never see an aboriginal Mexican President.

China as many different races and ethnicities.
The H ( as you put it ) are 90% of China. What ethnicity is this Chinese PhD student and how would the investor know?
Most other ethnicities are indistinguishable from the H folks by looks.
From his name?
Anyone who has spent time in China can attest to the open racism of most Chinese. There’s essentially a hierarchy... locals, any Han Chinese, and White Euro/Americans... then other Asians (Koreans, Vietnamese, etc), and non-Han Chinese (Tibetans Uyghurs etc)... then Black Euro/Americans, African Blacks, and Japanese.
The “H” is Han Chinese, the race that consists of 90% of the Chinese population. Tough for us to tell the difference, but they can. The other races, Tibetans, Uyghurs, etc, are all looked own upon in China, and the groups do NOT like to be around each other outside of China.
Since AFAIK black people were not imported to China as slaves, they are there by choice. Since they don’t like the natives’ attitude towards them, they should leave.
I have no idea. He used an American name as his name had sounds in it no American could say.
Yes, I have seen the exact same thing from my travels.
I’ll even take it further. Until the United States came along, nearly all nations of the world throughout history based their national identify on racial and religious identity. I don’t expect nations like China, Japan or Korea to accept multi-culturalism. It would be wrong and dangerous to force American notions of multiculturalism upon them.
