As a person who has lived in China for nearly a decade, I have experienced racism first hand there. But actually it was, 99% of the time, racism that favored my white skin. Wherever I (or any other white foreigner I know) went, I had instant respect and was admired, without having to do anything to earn that respect. Why does the article, which seems well-researched, not mention this phenomenon at all?

(Or maybe I've missed it, I've only read the summary and a few paragraphs that contained the term "white")

You were admired the same way people admire iphones or European supercars. Great to have a token white guy for random photo op, but dont count on getting real job or any kind of power/control (like being able to create a company etc.)
spotted the english lackey!

try starting a real business and see how it goes.

That reads like a personal attack. We ban accounts that do that, so please don't post like this.
