Not in this case. China, Japan, Thailand - all countries where no matter how well you speak the language, know the culture or how much you spend creating companies that employ locals, you will always be a foreigner and 'less than' someone born in those countries. On looks alone, you will never truly fit in. Compare and contrast to the USA, Australia etc, where no-one can tell you are not a citizen by simply looking at you.
- throwaway5yiu 8y agoAnd yet as a minority in America, I constantly get asked, “where are you really from?”
- InterestBazinga 8y agoThere is a difference between asking people's or parent's origin, and concentration camps over person's religion / ethnicity.
- techVentureStar 8y agoA lot of black people do live segregated areas in usa. Just listen to serial podcast season3. Cleveland sounds like a concentration camp for black ppl.
- sheepmullet 8y agoI’m not sure if you are joking or not but Cleveland is nothing like a concentration or re-education camp.
- techVentureStar 8y agoAre you black then? Plus don't amurica have camps that killed mexican kids lately.
- moosey 8y agoI'll make that comparison. http://www.wbtv.com/2018/11/27/desert-detention-camp-migrant-kids-still-growing/ http://www.wbtv.com/2018/11/27/desert-detention-camp-migrant... And if you think this policy isn't racist, then you haven't heard of the "Mexican Repatriation" in the 30's. And then when after WW2, Mexicans who were promised citizenship were again denied. Or we can look at this: https://www.naacp.org/criminal-justice-fact-sheet/ https://www.naacp.org/criminal-justice-fact-sheet/ Our prison system, man. And of course, you can say this is whataboutism, but you asked for a contrast and compare. The US is horrid when it comes to race.
- wetpaws 8y agoThat does not make China less racist.
- yourbandsucks 8y agoOk, so we're expanding from stereotyping 1.4B to an even 2B now? Irony is dead. Applying American conceptions of racism to Asia is ignorant, full stop.
- sheepmullet 8y ago> contrast to the USA, Australia etc, where no-one can tell you are not a citizen by simply looking at you. Yes America, Australia, the UK, etc are all running a great experiment to see if multiculturalism can work. The rest of the world might follow if multiculturalism ever ends up working.
