@BlackinChinaChronicles, do not bring your western prejudices to judge China. The Chinese are generally very practical and matter-of-fact. They aren't racist like those the western countries.

[@BlackInChinaChronicles]

@@magnacarta740 that’s true.

Chinese people fascinating people's from Africa and very welcoming by Chinese...that's nice gestures...❤❤❤👏👏👏

[@BlackInChinaChronicles]

Very nice gesture indeed. Thank you so much

[@bichchan7268]

That normal if you don't know the person name, we call them from their from. If africa black, if it uropean white and Asian Asian

[@BlackInChinaChronicles]

That’s makes sense. Thank you

[@meimiaolin2581]

Don't feel offended bro. My uncle was darker than average and his nickname was Black Man Lim. Everyone called him that, even his own mother.

[@moss550]

Yeah, I have an aunt being call that as a nick name (black sis) by people in her generation and it stuck.😂 PS when Chinese people are tanned, their skin tone can get darker than some blacks such as Beyonce. That person definitely didn't sound like it was meant as an insult or offence, otherwise he would have said it in his local dialect rather than English.

[@BlackInChinaChronicles]

Wow that makes sense. I will not take offense no more. Thank you so much

[@BlackInChinaChronicles]

Yeah it actually sounded more friendly than insulting. He was actually trying to just say hi. Thanks so much

[@MrMrbokchoi]

Ya my mom's nickname was fatty just because she was slightly heavier than my other relatives and my cousin's nick name is rooster boy. It is common to call people by their appearance. It might seem be rude to non Chinese people but it is acceptable and quite common in China. He could have just responded by calling the man yellow in a nice and friendly tone and he would have been ok with it. Also, this channel is called Black in China Chronicles. I would have thought referring to yourself as black would have been acceptable.

@@moss550 My little brother was a belligerent, disobedient kid and so his name ended being "Stupid" and that was his name until he grew up.

Nice to see Zimbabweans on KZbin. I lived in Mutare for 5 years as a school teacher. Great country.

[@BlackInChinaChronicles]

The fun thing I have never been to Mutare. I believe I will go when I go back home. Thank you so much 😊

[@cogniktive1147]

Brother, you thinking that girl isn’t Chinese is probably more offensive than that man quasi-amicably calling you black 😂

[@truthinsideralWays]

So true. She probably felt offended haha

[@pbworld7858]

We all have to start thinking of Chinese as a nationality and not as a race/ethnicity such as Han, Tibetan, etc.

[@BlackInChinaChronicles]

I will work on that come on. Thank you so much

[@BlackInChinaChronicles]

I will do better for next times sake

[@Dreamface_officialapp]

There are a lot of ethnic groups in China (because China is very big) if you search XinJiang online you will see a lot of people from there are Uygur which typically look more like people from Turkey or Russia.

[@BlackInChinaChronicles]

Yes yes now I understand. I didn’t even realize she was Chinese. I hope to visit Xinjiang in the future.

[@moss550]

@@Dreamface_officialapp In fact Russian are one of the official Chinese minority ethnic group. Ethnic distribution often don't follow national boundaries, so you get native Russian in Siberia who are ethnic Chinese and native Chinese in Northern China who are ethnically Russians. Some of the Chinese Russian are descendents from Russian that came to China in 17th century, a hundred year before US war of independence.

[@RetireearlyNYC]

You are right. He was ignorant. He shouldn’t have shouted that at you. And everybody making excuses for him lmao. It’s fine if they know you and that’s your family and their nickname. But it’s totally ignorant and rude to shout a nickname at a total stranger. I would not take well to somebody calling me yellow or slanty eyes in public. Nor would I take it from my own family. We are not ignorant. But many people in China are still barely educated, just came out of the countryside where there are no foreigners, and are often not used to modern etiquette like no spitting in public, no urinating in public, not queuing, and of course, don’t shout nicknames at strangers. It’s rude. (Perhaps not racist. But definitely ignorant and rude). And thank you for sharing this video:) Cheers from NyC :) Also, we get that here in the US as well. Some Chinese people here have that same attitude. The newly emigrated ones. They spit, they cut lines, they shout in public, and they STARE LOL. If they find something interesting about you, they will stare at you. Very ignorant and rude. But it’s normal to them. Lmao. But you are there teaching them manners just by being you and being there. They will slowly get used to seeing people of different colors etc and hopefully will soon stop being rude to strangers. :)

China has 56 different ethnicities. If you call somebody you don't look Chinese and you don't have any idea what those 56 ethnics look like. That's ignorance.

[@BlackInChinaChronicles]

That’s true 😁. I will do my due diligence to search about this. I will learn for next time. Thank you

[@yonight6871]

There are 56 ethnic groups in China, including Muslims, especially in Xinjiang and Qinghai and Ningxia provinces. What’s interesting is that among the Chinese there are Xinjiang people who look like white people. There are also some Russian ethnic groups in the Northeast who are also Chinese.

[@BlackInChinaChronicles]

Well he wasn’t wrong.. you are black aren’t you? Why did you suggest that he was ignorant? It wasn’t an insult … chill a bit

[@BlackInChinaChronicles]

Yeah wrong judgement on my end. I will chill a bit for real. Thank you so much. Your contribution is a blessing

[@csking6377]

Yeah, agreed. He shouldn't be assuming that people are racist just because they describe him as he is. In my experience, Chinese people are quite direct and they see no insult in giving nicknames to their friends and family members according to their characteristics. Actually, they become terms of endearment. And they would all identify by their nicknames eg. Fatty, Little Dog, Crazy Person, Shorty, Riceball, ...etc. Seems like he is the one who is ignorant, even after 7 years in China.

[@bismillah5060]

Nah, if a Chinese guy was walking down the street in America and someone yelled "YELLOW" at him, 99% of people would consider that extremely rude and racist.

[@laifamily7804]

the guy says black because that's the only english word he could come up with when he sees a black person.....it's his way of saying "go Africa!" without the vocubulary, don't take it too personally. They just don't speak English. chinese don't all look the same, head to xiniiang and west china, ppl don't look like your eastern chinese. Some look indian, some look white , some look middle eastern.

[@BlackInChinaChronicles]

That’s makes sense. I’m sure he has been waiting to say something to a foreigner for a long time 😊

[@maixiong9113]

It's obvious man calling you black is not out of racism. He has bad English, he wanted to be friendly. So what should he call you to get your attention???in English.😊 If you don't like it or fear it might offend others. Go up to him with a translator. And nicely tell him and others that do it . That it's offensive to dark skin people. And tell him and others what you prefer or what other dark skin might prefer to be called.

[@BlackInChinaChronicles]

Exactly, that’s what I thought. He only remembers that word and he wanted to be friendly by expressing himself in this way

[@maixiong9113]

@@BlackInChinaChronicles some foreigners even white people don't like being called Gweilo or laowhy by Chinese. Especially white people that grew up in China as kids to adult. It's because the want to be looked at as Chinese . I see white girls vloggers tear up . And Chinese is a nationality not ethnicity. China has white ethnic group in China. But up north or west. Black people might be a new ethnic chinese group. Especially in Guangzhou little Africa.
