I agree with some aspects of what you saying , but man now you are becoming the racist. Some of the things you are saying are not cool, but I understand your feeling. Don't let it affect you that much...Just call the Chinese out on it thats all. I made this video because the world should know the other part of China's face. Not only the good side.

dear sir, i feel sad for your experience, but i have a black american friend who teaches in beijing from time to time, he is a well respected individual in that beijing institute. i also have black friends who are a lot darker than you and we were treated fine in china. i understand that chinese people can also be mean,just like anybody. but i observe that mainlanders tend to look at how people dress and how they groom or carry theirselves first than what their skin color is. wish you happines.

@richardhaw

I disagree. I spend more than an hour a day grooming and preparing to be accepted by the Chinese society. There are people who will still choose not to sit next to me on the subway, there are parents who will still complain to the headmaster that they have a black teacher instead of a white one, there are still people who will point and laugh and ask how so black? If your story is true, you must be one magical negro to not see the obvious, or simply, you are lying.

Sorry to hear the racism you experienced in Shanghai. I believe it's true that racism exists anywhere, so there's no exception in China. As a Chinese here's how I see it. Generally it's fact many Chinese ppl don't like black people. The reason is very simple. It's because balck ppl's image on the news and movies are not very positive. BUT this is only a generalization. For individuals, Chinese people may still like him/her after knowing each other. This is stereotype just like many other places.

Really? Will Smith, Denzel Washington, Don Cheadle, Jamie Fox are pretty much all playing positive protagonists in their movies. I think all races have bad people that act out in hollywood, so I think that is an excuse actually. The real answer is that dark skin is associated with working in the hot sun. Those people that work in the sun in China are looked down upon. Hollywood has nothing to do with it.

I'm betting you're a white man traveling in Asia. Receiving all the POSITIVE STEREOTYPES.You hail the fawning from petite Asian women, and the kowtowing of ambitious Asian men. You create vast rationalizations of why certain ideals should not be applied to Asia. When we all know that racism and discrimination is universal.

I bet you don't speak a lick of Japanese or Thai except how to talk with girls. I've gotten over it. Through adversity I still made it. How about you?

dude black americans beat and make fun of asians every single day and night, you blacks are the most racist people in the earth. I can't imagine if anymore of you come to asia, you blacks are not welcome, stick to america and western countries.

@chamaflauge yeah i know wat i said is not cool...but i didnt find any better way to put out my frustration...and believe me such persons deserves more than i said earlier...and yes it affected me that much that i hate this place more than anything...bec everything has the limits n there shit attitude crossed my limits of tolerance...

As a Chinese, I want to say there are a lot of Chinese people treat black people differently and i dont think that is right. Even though in America that has a large group of black people, people here still racism too, so its so normal it happens in China, because we dont really know them, so what you should do is make Chinese understand black people more but not posting this kind of weird and stupid "life"video. If you dont like China, please leave there! We dont want you there toooo!!

there mental level is just 0,no decision power..they own nothing..just copy and follow the hollywood..they just live in fairy tales....!!!

[PorkChopMissPiggy]

@BobLeKatt That is not entirely true. They don't like blacks because of the way thy look.

[JillTomson]

Go to Korea, black people are treated far better, and the place is far cleaner.

"Chinese people don't even like each other".....haha...you got that right. I've been there and have seen how they treat "darker skinned Chinese peasants" at the Shenyang Expo that build the beautiful flower arrangements there. Not Good. I have a Chinese lady friend that has told me all about the social status in Chinese society. Lighter skin represents wealth and power, darker skinned is associated with peasant farmers that are poor and regarded as "scum". Sad really, the Chinese society.
