"Obviously"? Have you ever met any older Chinese people, or folks fresh from the mainland? They're racist as hell. My dad was fond of telling me that the one black physics professor he knew at UC Berkeley was a very nice guy, but clearly a charity case, and that blacks were just lazy in general. It's much more safe to say that it's 'obvious' that the Chinese could have a political agenda in pushing the notion that there are special Asian hominid genes. They're as susceptible to racism and patriotism as anyone else.
No man, or woman, on this planet, is free from ideological bias.
- justicezyx 10y agoI am not sure. Calling people lazy seems a logical conclusion for older generation Chines people. My parents call me lazy very often, because I cannot keep my apartment tidy... They led a life with prevalent poverty and lack of food, and almost any kind of living supplies. They all need to work hard. I am not surprised that an older generation Chinese call most US people lazy. As for whether there is a racism judgement, I dont know. You are most close to your dad. :)
- euyyn 10y agoThere's all the difference between calling you, his son, lazy, and saying "blacks are just lazy in general". Can you easily see your dad telling you: "you're lazy, like all yellows"?
- justicezyx 10y agoNo kidding, my dad actually says "your generations are too lazy"...
