The group that are imprisoned madly out of line with their population are Iranians.

Also – I kind of would expect foreigners to have more difficulty with the police then locals, because as a foreigner – you don’t know how things work. In other words what laws are enforced, which ones aren’t – and how far you can push something. How to behave with the police and how the judicial system works and even what guilty behavior looks like to someone from a different culture. Meeting someone’s eyes can be interpreted as honesty or insolence depending on where you are. So stats on how foreigners are treated as compared to Japanese would be skewed in part because foreigners don’t necessarily behave like Japanese.

This is arrant nonsense. It is completely irrelevant what race the majority is – the celeb just needs the majority to be a celeb. But then again, what you really seem to be saying is that blacks need whites to accept them. Isn’t that exactly what racial tolerance is supposed to be?

A – I’m not American.
B – I work at a university and was party to hiring a “black … by their own academic merits.”
C – Will Smith is America’s most consistent box office champ.

Jammer, a word of advice – you may think that you are defending China here, but most of the people who read a blog like this are intelligent enough to realise that societies like China, Japan, etc. are very pluralist – you can find racism and welcoming attitudes, altruism and hatred. Your arguments are just not very logical and seem to be rooted in some kind of misplaced nationalist hate of the US. In trying to argue that Chinese are reasonable and progressive global citizens (many are) you are instead reminding everybody that some (especially younger) Chinese are beholden to a pretty disturbing form of nationalism.

Well,they may not target “Africans”,but their cops sure beat the shit out of unarmed Tibetans.And their soccer fans are not exactly gentle when they are dealing with foreign teams(Especially Japanese).
We’ll learn about Chinese attitudes toward immigrants when they start having them at home instead of themselves become such in abroad.But then again,you could tell pretty much from their attitude to the migrants peasants.

Tyler Perry’s “Madea” films have almost no acceptance among white Americans – most remain unaware they even exist – but his recent “Madea Goes to Jail” took $41.1 million in its opening weekend and has now grossed $90 million in six weeks. That makes him a raging success by Hollywood’s standards and ought to send you back to the drawing board with your arguments.

Now you get all defensive when you’re reminded of the racist culture that you belong to. Hypocrites never like being called out on their own hypocrisy. No African has to worry about being killed just for being black in China. Look at America’s butcher cops that shot in the back and killed Oscar Grant while he was handcuffed and laying on his belly for all the world to see. And look at all the New York cops who fired hundreds of rounds at an unarmed black man. And you think you can accuse the Chinese of racism. Look at all the racism from the French towards African immigrants. Or how about the German soccer fans who threw bananas onto the field when their team was playing a team from Africa. What a joke! Your misplaced sense of right and wrong is laughable.
