[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Meanwhile, China keeps cranking out engineers and isn’t lowering the bar for admission.

But, China doesn't have a diversity issue.  Everyone is Asian.[/quote]'

I can't believe American's are still this ignorant. This is why the (very real) race problem in America is so unnuanced though. There are dozens of ethnicities in China, not to mention China has extreme classism( Mainland problem), racism ( Xihguer problem), bigotry ( towards everyone non-Chinese), elitism ( that brand loving stereotype didn't pop out of the void), all of which lend themselves to the same disparities that we in the States view as indicative of moral, ethical, and systemic corruption. Just because it doesn't come from people not liking the color of someone's skin, doesn't mean that people in MANY other countries have do not experience the exact same results. This is coming from a person who isn't a fan of China or the culture really. But I at least have the RUDIMENTARY knowledge to understand that culturally it's not a monolith. [/quote]

Yep, and historically the "ruling" ethnicity has treated other groups badly. Note that the "ruling" ethnicity has changed, too; it wasn't always Han Chinese. For example, the last Dynasty was Manchurian so it was difficult for non-Manchus to reach the top class/jobs.[/quote]
