[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Are you Asian? Would be difficult socially as a white or other ethnic group person.[/quote]
Being a blond, tall white person with fair skin and big blue eyes would be a plus.[/quote]
East Asia is very racist and adores white skin. They'll do swimmingly.[/quote]

I apologize for the off topic question to this post, but i often wonder about the roots of racism in China and Japan. When I spent time there (lived/worked there for a short time), there was such bias against black/dark skinned people. Even their beauty norms are all about light skin. I am curious. [/quote]

I am not Asian, but come from another part of the brown world.  The racism stems from Hollywood, seriously.  Most folks in my home country will never see a black person and may very infrequently see a white person.  The white folks that they do see are ex-pats or diplomats who are hyper-educated and tend to be well off.  Thus, people in my home country will assume that white people are all multilingual NGO policy experts.  My home country people have no idea that misfit MAGATs are a thing.  By contrast, in my home country, people's only idea of black people comes from Hollywood characters, which (at least until recently) were pimps, gangsters, thugs.[/quote]
