The past couple of days, traffic to China Sports Today from people searching for "Ding Hui" has seen a little uptick. Could it be a coincidence that a recent story in The Guardian said that Ding Hui, the Chinese national volleyball team's first black player, was booted from the national team last year, implying that it was because Ding Hui is black? But If you came to find out about the volleyball player who was kicked off the Chinese national team for being black, you won't find what you're looking for because it didn't happen.

Perhaps because of China's status as a mostly monocultural giant that's only just opening up the world, the topic of racism in this country is always a landmine-infested warzone. Just asking the question of whether most Chinese people are racist can cause the web to go into conniptions - an example being the Internet fight between China Geek and Hecaitou earlier this year.
