    As an immigrant I can tell you for a fact that a lot of immigrants tell stories of repression to get into the good graces of Westerners. I have heard people say shit that was absolutely untrue. I am not Chinese or Cuban, but I have heard it from others.

      Yep. Many westerners already manage to be racists without having an excuse. An immigrant with views considered anti-west is going to be ostracized if they are lucky.
