Racism in China

China: Unlike other countries in the world, the Chinese seem to have lost the word racism in their dictionary, and their attitudes towards black people can sometimes leave you dumbfounded.  

In a recent ad that was aired on Chinese TV and in Wanda Cinemas this week before showing a movie, is a video of Qiaobi-brand laundry detergent that has now been making rounds on different social media platform used in China. 

             

In the video, a black man with paint splattered on his shirt walk toward his Chinese wife, as he came close to the wife, he placed a detergent right into his mouth and push him inside the washing machine. Once the thorough cleansing was done, a new man pops out, and it was a pristine young Chinese man, looking fresh.

Watch the video here:

         

The video is also a total rip-off and laziness of the producers who had stolen the concept of the idea to the sound and music. The original ad was aired 9 years ago for an Italian ad, the only difference is this time, the video shows an Italian man coming out a muscled black dude, and it says "colour is better". 

A little bit of racism plays out in the video too...See here:

     

In another racist show-off by the Chinese, the star war actor, John Boyega was shrunk off in size as seen from the original poster of the movie in China. The Chinese have seen the black skin and people of the African descent as "dirty" because of the colour of their skin.

Though there is lots of criticism of the racist role played by the Chinese media, but it doesn't look like it will end soon.
