Japan is not US and Chinese are not black. Context is everything.

  I'm not even sure what you're arguing for. Are you claiming that "racism" means different things in US compared to china? Or that "context" needs to be considered when determining whether an act is racist?

    Yes, I’m arguing that. Japanese racism against Chinese (and vice versa) is very different from white-black in the states.

      I fail to see how "context" can materially change whether an act is racist or not. There might be some edge cases around "dog whistles" or whatever, but hard to see how this act isn't an intentional act to dissuade chinese students from applying. That's racism. How does the history between chinese and japenese materially change this?
