Guys, are the aggressive ad hominems truly necessary? Eastman--If a British soldier rapes an African, it isn't a sign of racism, it's a sign of being a nasty son of a bitch. More to the point, you haven't addressed China's racism, which is what the discussion is about. My opinion? Sure Chin has race problems now, but so does everywhere. It is just exacerbated because the government is unaccountable and can carry out whatever it wishes.

Check it out... I've posted some images and commentary related to this racial profiling notice over on my site. Click here for the dirt on Qinghai's Hualong County Hui clique.

Can anyone help out with the "numerous reactionary slogans" that have reportedly appeared "everywhere"? Anyone aware of any examples? Anyone seen or heard of any?

China cut off contact with the world because it has always regarded itself superior to the rest of the world despite irrefutable evidence to the contrary. And the West has worked through its problems with ethnic relations in a much shorter time than dirty, stinking, pig fucking China that worships Nazi ideals.

It is quite humorous to have Westerners questions or criticize racism in China when they fail to realize that China has been an isolationist society up until 20 years ago. Whereas countries in the West has already seen the influx of multi-racial population and has already gone thru their HORRIBLE phase of racist society (or have they gone thru already?)

To Derek Sandhaus You are basolutely right. I'd have quoted the hundreds of Kenyan women raped by British soldiers around the foot of Mount Kenya. That would be more than telling. Thanks for reminding me of my mistake, in time for me not to have even quoted the Opium War.

Not to be argumentative, but I think that citing a source from 1873 is a bit a stretch. Also, that excerpt was talking about Western racism (one hundred thirty-five years ago) and said nothing about China's views on race.

Westerners who think China is racist country read here: On June 5, 1873, in a letter to The Times, Sir Francis Galton, the cousin of Charles Darwin and a distinguished African explorer in his own right, outlined a new method to 'tame' and colonise what was then known as the Dark Continent. 'My proposal is to make the encouragement of Chinese settlements of Africa a part of our national policy, in the belief that the Chinese immigrants would not only maintain their position, but that they would multiply and their descendants supplant the inferior Negro race,' wrote Galton. 'I should expect that the African seaboard, now sparsely occupied by lazy, palavering savages, might in a few years be tenanted by industrious, order-loving Chinese, living either as a semidetached dependency of China, or else in perfect freedom under their own law.' 'the history of the world tells the tale of the continual displacement of populations, each by a worthier successor, and humanity gains thereby'. A controversial figure, Galton was also the pioneer of eugenics, the theory that was used by Hitler to try to fulfil his mad dreams of a German Master Race.

To nanheyangrouchuan "China..What a worthless, ugly, dirty country"? Just relax, buddy. China is that dark only when I am behind you. How the lyric goes? "Oh boy, you have to carry that weight, for a long time", with or without a visa. lol!

Then why are the homeland security folks and highway potrols insist on doing racial profiling, despite their repeated denial? Just for the record, I am not down with racial profiling, but smell profiling may work. Smell is a good indicator of one's health and mental state, as our gamey friend nanheyangrouchuan can testify, especially after a long internet session.

Never mind that racial profiling doesn't work. They're barking up the wrong tree. If I were a refugee from Darfur looking for a chance to get back at the PRC for giving guns and moral support to the Sudanese government, this would be a prime opportunity. The genocide there is possible because of China. But the PRC is so concerned with their own restive minorities that they are overlooking a far bigger threat. I hope nothing happens. But this sort of heavy-handed stuff is for amateurs.

Tomorrow Square should bar nanheyangrouchuan for his inherent smell, unless he takes a bath in the Talas River, LOL.

China is unearthing its old war with mulsims in order to "harmonize" them. Reference the battle of Talas River. @eastman. China already does those things and much more. What a worthless, ugly, dirty country.

How did Hui Muslims from Qinghai's Hualong County get on the list? I spent a month in Hualong last winter, and there wasn't much evidence of anti-Han sentiment amongs the Huis, although there was considerable tension with the Tibetans. Oh, wait... I think I may know... I'm gonna post an image over at http://china.notspecial.org/ soon.

The Zhabei police station attack was carried out by a man from... *drumroll* Beijing.

An interesting find. It is odd too because most Tibetans don't look that dissimilar to ethnic Chinese. If a Tibetan put on cheap clothing from any Chinese market, who would know the difference?

There is no racism in China as long as everyone remembers their place.
