Derb: Stephen Colbert And Suey Park Deserve Each Other

April 8, 2014 By Kathy Shaidle

John Derbyshire (whose wife is Chinese) writes:

The other thing I get asked is: How racist are the Chinese? Answer: No more than any other ethny, except in certain particular spheres.

Younger Chinese can be hair-trigger touchy at any perceived insult to the national honor. Some subset of young Chinese males—around a quarter, I think—are fired to anger at the thought of a Chinese woman with a non-Chinese man. Beyond those, by far the commonest negative expression of Chinese ethnocentricity is hatred of the Japanese. Whether that counts as “racism,” decide for yourself.

The Chinese have at any rate none of the poisonous guilt about blacks that afflicts white Americans. To the contrary, Chinese people who came to this country poor, and experienced ghetto life, have few illusions about the black underclass.
