There's a video documenting Chinese people being racist towards black people. I have yet to watch it beyond the first few seconds, which is a bad habit because I need to face these things if I'm to be a good comrade. No investigation, no right to speak. The replies contain horrified people of all colors, anecdotes of encountering racism, and right-wingers praising China, admitting unfamiliarity with their game or some shit. My first thought; China's huge. There's going to be racists. On the other hand, I was wondering if there was yet more to this than that.

The important thing to understand is that even if there are racists in China they are systemically repressed. If you spout race hatred on social media in China it will get removed. If you keep doing it, you will get a visit from police.

I hope you're right. Racism opposes China's constitution. So I hope they practice measures against it rather than preach.
