www.theroot.com/buzz/africa-chinese-migrant-workers-marry-black-womenThis topic seems to be catching fire on the Black Blogs, I read about the topic yesterday & it appeared on another blog The Root, so I decided to post it on ESR. Very different from the article from the Japanese dude about Black women last month. Some of the comments on a Chinese Blog named is in this article had some disturbing comments about Black women. Any way, it seems by one way or another, we are hearing about Black women & Asian men ! So what do you think or feel about the topic ?

If one is from Jamaica then such relationships is not uncommon as a matter of fact it goes back to more than a century, may raised eye brows for folks in U.S proper and China but in other places cause a second glance.
The idiot that wrote that article is just an idiot we cannot take one mans word as a reflection of any whole.

Anansi,
Yes, I'm very aware of the racial mixing of Asians & Black Jamaicans . Two of the most world famous models of African descent have Asian blood in their veins Naomi Campbell, & Tyson Beckford, who's folks are from Jamaica. In fact one of the comments talked about this Jamaican phenomenon.
We all know when you have men from one country working for prolonged periods in another country ( Continent) they will mate & make mates with the women of the country they are in. What I took from the article was that if these Chinese men took these African women back to China with them the reaction by other Chinese might not be too welcoming,to these women, which one could read some of the comments on the Chinese Blog was full of ignorance, & racism.
China seems to be full of it's self at this time, with their rising on the world stage. They are always talking about their 5,000 year old history. It is well known they they Love all things white & have very low regards for African peoples which they see as black devils, filthy, & ugly. It's very strange for that is how they were viewed by Whites in the 19th & part of the 20th century. One of the comments even spoke of the "woes of the colonized mind" !!
I'm sure most them have bought into the white Egypt theory, & could never conceive of Egypt being an African civilization that predates, their beloved China !
I hope their are some enlightened Chinese, that know the truth about Africa & do not hold these out dated racist notion about Africa & her people ;in fact some might be on ES & ESR.But, I'm sure they are in the minority . Myself personally I have always held both China & Japan in the highest respect, & regard, as great world civilization on par with Kemet (Egypt) but, have met none that felt the same way about any African civilization .

Well Nesben the nouveau riche are always full of themselves and I have friends who trade in China setting up shops and all,right now the dominant attitude is white = success and they even hire Euros as window dressing I ain't kidding either, there is an article on that some where,even how they party is all about the flash and cash showing off ones bag or new foreign boy/girl friend like an accessory or do something ridiculous like putting ice in $1000 a pop high vintage wine,it is likely to remain like that for sometime to come till their bubble crashes and sanity takes whole again I remember Japan was kinda like that on my first visit ,when their bubble burst they start to rethink many of the things they thought important. There is also the recent story of this one kid who sold one of his Kidney to but a new Ipod such is the madness. |

Anansi,
I live in the Bay Area, we now have for the first time ever, two Chinese Mayors, one in San Francisco, & one in Oakland. San Francisco has the largest Chinese community in the USA. So I heard about the Euro window dressing some time ago. I know they in China,, get most of their understanding concerning race from the USA like most other people around the world thru, films, etc.Which is very limited & distorted .
I 'am happy that the Chinese people are finally getting things together , for they are now showing others that their are more than one way to do things. But sadly most try to emulate the West in what it means to be successful which is very materialistic & all about the Bling,& the surface things in life. One see's it all the time with rappers today, who become wealthy over night, which most are just vapid & hollow, in my opinion. I think the world needs a new model on what it means to be successful ; & the only region in my mind that seems to keep things in balance somewhat are the Scandinavian countries.
I'm sure the 21 century has much in store for humanity that will force all of us to change & value things in life that are really important, such as, LOVE FOR EACH OTHER !
