Ask a gay, a black or a Japanese how it feels living in China.

Outside of gay people, the rest is your projection: they are homogenous society, racial problems are nonexistent. US is heavily heterogenous and despite that you segregated like a third of society at the time.

Ridiculous take.

Sorry, I have lived and worked there 6 years in different cities and I do speak a fluent (though with a very heavy French accent) mandarin. It's totally not my projection but my experience first hand.

During the "diaoyu island" incident in the 2010s the sushi shop 200m near my appartment got sacked, and all japanese-brand car get smashed.

My black (and indian) friends all complained how hard they were treated. And when talking with my Chinese friends they all had very .... interesting... point of view.

Edit: also, I'm not from the US

>Outside of gay people, the rest is your projection: they are homogenous society, racial problems are nonexistent.

You do know that Chinese people do go to other countries and that we all can see how insanely racist they can be right?

> they are homogenous society

No, China is not homogenous.

> racial problems are nonexistent

Ask a non-Han about how they feel about that statement.

Your take is about as ridiculous. China isn’t at all how you described it.
> they are homogenous society, racial problems are nonexistent

Riiiiiiiiiiiight:

Guess they solved all the "racial problems" by deploying surveillance cameras to help shove all the undesirables into camps. /s

so alabama and texas are enemies to the US the same way china is?
