      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.
