The fact that some Chinese stare at us doesn't mean they are racists. Uneducated, ignorant in terms of other cultures and countries, sure, but racist? - I don't think so. If you had, for example, spent all your life in a village and then became a migrant worker and in the city came face to face with the first foreigner you'd ever seen in your life, I think you'd do a bit of staring yourself. Aside from that, there may be multiple instances where even those who've seen foreigners before are still curious about their behavior. I could go on, but apparently you're quite convinced your position is correct, so I'll just let it lie and we can both believe as we will. Meanwhile, I guess I'll be enjoying my time in China a bit more that you.
