      Westerners fucking LOVE opining about how Asian people are somehow secretly "the most racist".

      99% of the time it's based on the flimsiest evidence too. "I was on holiday in China and people kept looking at me and asking to take photos together." Bro, black people in the US and North Africans in France would not be constantly rioting for their rights if the worst thing that happened to them in the West is that crackas kept asking for selfies.

          I can only speak to China and Japan because those countries are where my experiences lie. I don't think it's really accurate to say that Asian people aren't racist except to suck up to whites. For example, internet nationalists on 2Chan in Japan will say the exact kind of /pol/ brain poison as the Nazis on 4chan, just towards somewhat different targets.

          That said, those types are hardly the general population, so let's put them aside for now. I would say that most racism in East Asia is a result of ignorance rather than malice. Even malicious racism doesn't cross over into overt hostility most of the time and actual violence is incredibly rare compared to the West.

          The West does have some part in this dynamic because most people's exposure to black people (for example) comes through Westoid media.

      If any racism is involved it’s on the part of the CCP, which conflates nationality with ethnicity, viewing “others“ as those to be either assimilated or subjugated.
      

      China has more than one ethnic group and takes the orthodox marxist approach to dealing with this by taking extra care to not tread on toes with it

        Also, white people DO conflate nationality with ethnicity, ask any white person about the "magic dirt theory".

      It's amazing how they never see the contradiction there.
