Last year I received this email from a reader:
Hey Dude, terrific site. If you could, please inform me as best you can, the preconceptions China has toward people of color. What are you observations on how people of color are treated in the major cities? What is the perceptions of Africans considering the huge economic stake in many African countries?
I enjoy reading your site, as I read more articles, I would love to get your opinion.
I did not, at the time, directly respond to this. Part of the reason was that there was already plenty on in the international press (this was just prior to the Genocide Olympics and just after the mass arrests of black people in Beijing), and part of the reason was that I didn’t feel that I could add much to the debate. I still feel that way, sorta-kinda.
Enter ChinaSMACK. Now, I’m not really a huge fan of the site – to me it reads a bit like a daytime soap having an illicit tryst with a fashion magazine – but it’s fair to say that it is very popular, and I wouldn’t be the least bit surprised if it cleans up the China Blog Awards this year, by a wide margin. And that said, ChinaSMACK does do a very good job of bringing to you the feelings of the average Wang (at least, the average internet-connected Wang). They recently had a post on a Chinese girl whose mother was Shanghainese and whose biological father was American. A black American. She came to the public’s attention when she participated in a TV program called Oriental Angels. Folks, I gotta tell ya, this girl is as hot as they get: “Angel” doesn’t even begin to do her justice. What a babe!
Unfortunately for her, however, she is a black Chinese. Here are what Chinese netizens themselves said about her:
Lou Jing’s mother had a husband, then had an extramarital affair with a black man, then gave birth to Lou Jing, and then after her birth divorced.
And that black devil, after fucking ran back to his home in Africa.
It is unimaginable how that Shanghainese man [husband], excited and anxious to see his own “daughter”, must have felt when he saw that she was black.
Her mother’s skin is pretty thick.
At the time finding foreigners was indeed a fad, but you still can’t pick blacks!
Fucked by a black.
How come a zebra wasn’t born.?
Ugh. Yellow people and black people mixed together is very gross.only black skin, not yellow skin, chocolate skin.
Not even knowing this common knowledge, ruining a child’s life.
Numb! This bitch still has the audacity to appear on television! I don’t know what to say! One cannot be shameless to this kind of level!
Black people’s tools/weapons are big! Her mother must have been very satisfied! Even having the audacity to go on television! Probably hoping that Africa can see [the television show], and [the father] will come to recognize his daughter, haha!
Obama’s little sister.
Similarities: Male black dog x different skin colored woman.
Differences: Black x White = Obama, Black x Yellow = Luo Jing.
I cannot help but say, those coming out of mixing yellow and black blood are all truly ugly, a dirty feeling [appearance].
Girls, you guys should know that even in America, which represents the highest level of black people, 60% of black children are brought up by their mothers alone. Do you understand what this means?
It means the men all fucked and ran, not taking responsibility for anything! There are often black people who have had children with over 10 different women, that American netizens all ask that they be castrated.
When I first saw this week’s show, I too was very shocked, so stunned. Society’s norms and values haven’t becomes so “fei zhu liu”, has it? As a post-80s generation, I completely cannot accept this. If I were that girl, I would be so low key that I could not be any more low key. How could I possibly come out and expose my face, seeking attention and sympathy.it is difficult to understand.
What can I possibly say about the Chinese view on skin colour, that the Chinese themselves haven’t made crystal fucking clear?
