I don't see what the big deal is ... everyone thinks stuff like this in their head, and it's a personal diary. Only recently do we live in a globalized & diverse economy which makes it less polite to say stuff like this. It is a big stretch to equate lack of politeness with racism.

"Chinese don’t sit on benches while eating but squat like Europeans do when they relieve themselves out in the leafy woods. All this occurs quietly and demurely"

This is still true in the countryside. It's a cultural not racial difference.

That's pretty much xenophobia in a nutshell.

Racism? I took for granted this was about aliens.
