I think this has been brewing for sometime. In reality, between the people who are really doing things wrong(drugs, and so on) are being pin pointed frequently these days, albiet, a lot of these things are being done by Chinese citizens also. We are also seeing the threat of foreigners who are paid well and are either here illegally, working in a field that are not really an expert of, show off frequently at bars and clubs. As for where I am, I don't have any of these problems, nor do Africans or African Americans.

Yes he was.

Nigerian.

Some of those remarks are downright scary and very racist.

Hard to say if they mean that there is a genuine hostility and underlying wish for violence toward foreigners or if they are just from some keyboard warrior blowing off steam and regurgitating crap that they have heard or read elsewhere from other morons.  

Lucky where I am there seems to be no problems either with the authorities or the locals. I have not witnessed any hostility but then again I am an older white guy and don't frequent bars or nightclubs. 

mattaya:

What the? Now how is it that they killed him? You can't make up stories like this...woody....if they killed someone it would have gone viral and public by now. How long ago? WHat year was it the year? When did it happen? Who were the people involved? How many involved? Why was the guy locked up? Think.....drugs kill!

woody:

mattaya WTF are you on about and WTF does your remark have to do with my answer. I was talking about what Crimo posted about the remarks from locals on China smack in response to the article and also about how attitudes to foreigners seem to be from my perspective where I LIVE. Read my response, read the article on CHINA SMACK, try to comprehend and if your having problems doing so (and you pretty obviously are) talk about it with your kindergarten teacher.

remember woody, matayayayaya is a wumao. he will spew the gov propaganda. "people who are beaten to death in police custody were not harmed but instead died of natural causes" don't waste your time with him.

this is important to note. in other countries including nigeria and other african countries, chinese nationals are protected the same as other people. here you have a clear case of the gov killing an individual because he was a foreigner and black to boot.  when the chinese guy was killed in canada people expressed remorse the only people spewing venom was chinese because he was gay. when the 2 chinese were shot in CA , people expressed remorse, the only people who spewed venom were chinese  because they were rich and in america. i hope this story is front page all over africa. and i hope this makes the news all over the world.

crimochina:

i forgot to mention his only crime that we know of was arguing with a taxi driver. how many times i've seen chinese arguing with cheating taxi drivers. all my students have at least 1 story involving a cheating taxi driver. foreigners be careful.

Mr_spoon:

It's especially "funny" (not the haha funny) when you look at some of the netizen's comments, about how a handful of Africans are "colonizing" China, while it's actually the other way around (And it's probably thanks to that that China's economy did well).

Again, Irony in this country is just mind-blowing.

The racism towards blacks in particularly insulting to all thinking men, because China doesn't have a history of slavery or racial tensions between white and black. The majority of blacks in china are educated and employed. They are not gang-bangers out of Camden or Compton. The idea that people listen to rap, and fake 'street cred' yet have a hatred of Africans is insulting not only to Africans but any one with a brain.

-The sheer hatred of Chinese  toward the world is being encouraged by a vile, nervous, and corrupt state. The Nazi's, Stalin, and the Japanese did it, fist vilify the other race, and than attack him.

-We have racist red-necks in america, but we are ashamed of them. We don't put them on the news like that moron on CCTV.

-Read "A contest for supremacy" a recent book about China's xenophobia and military ambitions. I'm getting banned now...

EYN05:

What are you talking about?

Come to guangzhou if you want to see street thugs. All the black guys standing in the street selling drugs and pussy

Go down to the Garden hotel and find out.

take a ride threw Xiao Bei and see all the black guys hanging out on the corner harassing girls while they are here illegally on an expired Chinese visas and selling drugs..

Chinese actually love africans, because they can accept buying all the cheap garbage in china and they dont complain like Western countrys and japan/korea.

But now adays they have all the trash coming from UK and France who are usually Nigerians and are just scam artist. Its in the chinese news everyday about black guys cheating, skeeming, and scamming.

Most of those racist remarks don't represent the general mindset of Chinese people. Chinasmack got that article from Netease (网易). It's a popular portal site. Like the Yahoo of China.
And if you see how racist and idiotic people can be on Yahoo, then this should come as no surprise.
I've had loads of online discussions with Chinese netizens on Netease. Many of them are insecure trolls.
Trust me, the people who made those comments are few and they do that to incite people. Plus there're a whole load of them that detest racist comments. Most are neutral.
Racism in China mainly comes from the extremely uneducated who always want to play victim.

Crimo,

In your last post you said im a chinese talking about things ive heard from other people?

 

Ha...

Its actually a true story and il post it again. I was walking alone near the garden hotel in Guangzhou going to a bus stop when a black guy approached me and asked if i wanted drugs, I told him "no man I don't what that shit" he kept following me and said well what do u want.. some Chinese pussy? some marijuana come on man come on.. I said get the fuck away from me and he backed off. 2 minuets later 2 more black guys came up to me and asked the same question, when I just ignored them 3 more sitting down the street came to join them and one grabbed my shoulder. ive seen this crap in the US alot but I was shocked when I seen it here in china.

Anyone who doesn't believe ask a local person in guangzhou about the area around the garden hotel. Black guys sell drugs and pimp old street hookers. Or better yet go talk a walk down the street around 10pm and see for your self.

As for the Nigerian who was killed

Every time I get a talkative taxi driver and he asks me where im from, he responds with OOO alot of black guys (Hēi guǐ) in US. And then they start to tell me stories of how black guys yell, intimidate, and don't want to pay the driver.

 

to nilerafter:

"Racism in China mainly comes from the extremely uneducated who always want to play victim"

 

​I seen a large african woman on the bus put her big fat ass on top of a little girls back end of the chair..the girl actually moved out of the chair and had to stand.

​The fatt bitch was actually covering sitting on top of the girls chair when she was sitting on it.

 

Racisim in china.

​It comes from  chinese people having there house robbed by black guys.

​It comes from being intimadated by black guys in the street.

it comes from seeing them sell drugs and pimp old fat chinese ladys on the street.

it comes from them overstaying in china with an expired visa and running from the police every time there doing checks.

 

All these things I have stated I have actually seen in guangzhou, I have seen a black guy throw a chinese guy down in the street, I have seen them selling drugs and pimping fat bitchs, I have seen them run from the police while there doing passport check points on all foreigners.

 

In a westren country theres always some pussy ass white guys around to say "thats not right thats racisim" well in china its just facts and the fact is most of these black guys are here doing typical nigger shit like they do every where else.

 

But I have seen some good african business men.. usually the samolians..wouldnt classify them as niggers but even they say... never trust a Nigerian all they do in Africa is sell drugs and pimp woman.

crimochina:

so what you are saying, is because some blacks come here and engage in illegal activities (competing / working with chinese law breakers) any black man should be beaten to death?

crimochina:

oh and by the way some chinese engage in illegal gang activity , people and drug smuggling in the united states to the point where many police precincts have to set up a special task force for them. so by your logic americans should start being vicious to every asian looking person? and start killing random asians??? thank god americans are not close as ignorant as chinese people but we don't have the 3 inch complex.
