Amazing, apparently China is racist against blacks but not against whites. Does that make any sense at all? And yes, there are still racist jerks in America. So what? One can always find jerks in any large enough group. Social media allows such lies to spread quickly, but please note that they were also shut down in rather short order.
I keep telling people here on RF but nobody believes me, even here on such a diverse website people subconsciously have racial bias' and negative perceptions of blacks here and not know it. There have been research studies on this....
"Most of these implicit racial biases are consequence of subtle messages seen in the media, popular culture, that suggest one group is good, and another group is bad-- associating one group with crime, another group with accomplishment,” Rich Morin, senior editor at Pew, told NBC News."

In my encounters both online and offline I find it a large portion of whites (and those among people of color who accept "white standard of living") tend to think....So what? Like Morgan Freeman when he famously said to "stop talking about it." You say so what because it does not affect you. This is not to say I'm personally hinderd from anything however everywhere I go and the opportunities I could potentially have internationally can be affected by the social perceptions that exist about those of my skin complexion so it does matter. It doesn't matter to you because you're of the unaffected group.
