Did you ever venture to the countryside in China? Or speak with people outside of software?
China has a long history of not only racism, but a potent classism where urban families are considered far superior to rural families. They even regulate which rural people can move to cities. The fact that you don't appear to be aware of this is odd.

Do you have the slightest clue what would happen if they didn't do that? Apparently not. It's not a great system, but it's necessary. > The fact that you don't appear to be aware of this is odd. I don't see the relevance to racism. I could bring to the table that there's a country that was able to go to the moon but didn't allow black people to vote at the same time which is just mind boggling, but doesn't really help the discussion either.
