Feel free to point out the irrationality of any part of my post. You are resolving your cognitive dissonance by ignoring documented differences among cultures, which is fundamentally illogical. This seems to be an increasingly common pattern "in the modern workplace" and outside of it too. What you should instead be doing is accepting that cultures are varied, but individuals must be given the benefit of the doubt in an ethical society. |

We have so much evidence that these sorts of observations can so often be wrong. You are likely to not notice all the majority group people doing this, or at least not connect it as a pattern. Once you have an expectation that Chinese people are cheating, you are more likely to see innocent behavior as cheating, or even if they ARE cheating, more likely to catch them than the white guy sitting next to you also cheating (because you are paying more attention to the person you EXPECT to be cheating)
Now, of course, this could be wrong and your observations could be right. The irrationality comes in assuming you are right just because you observe something.
