...Well, of course there is racism in China. At the very least in regards to the hiring of foreign teachers. In general, Chinese seem to have a very deferential attitude toward caucasians in general. Whites could be obese, looking like bums, or even have obvious physical abnormalities (not disibilities) and Chinese are apt to treat them very well.

Also, some Whites will make sereptitious, negative comments about non-White foreign teachers in the presence of Chinese... Of course this only reinforces the negative attitudes that Chinese may have. They will feel that if Whites said it, it must be "true", and then it is more than OK for them to repeat what they have heard.

...In addition, in my opinion, Chinese would like to be White.

As someone mentioned "Fair" or light/white skin is held in high regard in China. Perhaps this is even more true in Taiwan. If you don't know... skin whiteners are a top selling product in Asia and in China. Also The Chinese value Europeon culture and products highly. Lastly. just as thoes of Europeon descent have seemingy subjugated the modern world, this appears to also be the dream of the current Chinese...

I have heard Chinese of medium or dark complexions refer to them selves as "Black". They might state it like; "I'm too black!" or He/She's too black!"

In many cases Chinese would much rather bond with Whites, rather than Blacks...And vice versa for Whites...even if thoes Blacks were from the same country as they are....
