Like I said:

In what way could she possibly be conceived as racist? For defending herself against the rabid netizens?

What? In a country where most of the population live in abject poverty, you find it embarrassing that a girl is half-black.

There are far more things to be embarrassed about.

Being Chinese for instance.

Yeah, it's pretty sickening.

She's a beautiful girl who did nothing wrong and she's being drug across the coals by the most racist race in the entire world, The Chinese.

How can you suggest she's racist for clarifying that her father is not African?

WHAT?

That's the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard.

So myself, for example, as a white skinned person, if it was reported that my father was Russian, and I clarified that no, in fact he's Canadian, would I be racist against the Russians?

Well, we all know that black people get a rough ride in China, but if you're an African-American as opposed to plain old African, they are marginally, begrudgingly more accepting.

They're a wacky bunch, these Chinese netizen freaks. I'd love to see the scrawny little f***s say anything to a real black guy. I mean to his face, I've often seen them s[the n-word]ing behind their hands with each other.

Christ, the verb to sni gger is censored.

That wasn't intentional by the way.

Though it's mildy amusing that it came about in a discussion about racism.

There's some towns up the coast of Western Australia where in the past there were lots of Chinese immigrants working in the farming and pearl diving industries. For a few generations there was a bit of horizontal folk dancing between the Chinese immigrants and the local Aboriginal people.
The result today is some of the most stunningly beautiful women.
The men look a bit ordinary, but the women...

Disgusting comments. Chinese people truly are the most racist in the world. Whole thing makes me feel ill.

No but if you said it I'd agree with you.

Ha ha ha, poor girl.

She's actually a chinese person for clarifying that her father is not African. Afterall she was born and bred in shanghai, all she cares about is saving her face by adding the american touch to her statement ... she has a chinese name , which goes with the usual chinese mentality. She's just unlucky.

... nobody cares if shes african or not, btw the netizens are raking at her mum indirectly...

I think that most people born and bred in China will eventually become racist at a point.

As for the title.

This is no can of worms.
The media and the majority will miss the point entirely, and focus on the girls skin colour rather than what this situation means about them as a whole.

Thing is, this kind of sh*t will start getting noticed by the rest of the world soon.
Will be interesting to see how that turns out for the Chinese.

Why kill the thread? Racism should be exposed wherever it shows it's ugly head. The only way to bring this evil down is to expose it to the world. Admin can be the next Gandhi or MLK for bringing this up.

Wrong again, numpty!

Racism is all about "the belief that race is the primary determinant of human traits and capacities and that racial differences produce an inherent superiority of a particular race"

and

"hatred or intolerance of another race or other races."

Christ it's funny watching you fumble about in these little online debates.
