    There are a large amount of Africans who come to China for work. Whether it be to set up businesses in Guangzhou, or to leave Nigeria for a better future abroad, being black in China can be a difficult thing to deal with. There is an inherent prejudice in China against people with darker skin. Today we talk about this, but also what it's like to be a white African!

    I got so tired of explaining why I'm white (I'm from SA) that I also just say I'm from England now. Sadly the comments on racism are 100% true. As a previous employer put it, '' We can't have black teacher, the children will scared!''

      @Agris Bisenieks So people should not make an appeal for breast cancer, cause all cancers matter? Is that your argument?
      Black live movement appeal is denouncing a particular systemic racial abuse against black people. Which are not being care of in the same matter as whites. So its important to emphasise that black lives mayter also, as white do. To claim that the racial victim is racist.... well, just serves as proof of your own obnoxious bigotry.
      And aggressiveness might have a correlation with culture and race, but it's causation is with poverty and oppression, which is designed by a systematic racially discriminatory design imposed to black minorities, thus producing injustices that catalysis crime and violence... again, by desing.
      But to be honest, I don't expect you to have the intelectual capacity required to understand this. So enjoy your life as an racist. Just don't vomit it on others.

One of them suddenly saw me and he moved back to the elevator in shock. At that moment I was wondering what the heck was that about and now when I watched this video, I really got an insight of what was going on.

      Btw. As a polish immigrant in the UK (where they lovingly call us "the ni**ers of europe) I had 2 situations where I was sitting in a bus and some english lady, pensioner age, would sit next to me, and after a short ride my phone would ring and it would be my mother, who calls me quite often after work (she's still living in Poland) so I'd pick up and tell her (in polish) that I'll call her back in a minute as I don't want to have a phone conversation while on public transportation, and in both of those situations those old ladies would look at me suspiciously for few long ass seconds and switch seats
      Now obviously I used public transport millions of times and this only happened twice (had more severe situations with people threatening me with violence and calling me polish vermin and such, but that's more direct and less funny), so I'm not trying to say British people are racist or anything like that, i just remembered in now after reading your story lmao

    • @aw2584
      @aw2584 Před 4 lety +4

      @emily sarah ward hunt of course you wouldn't lmao, why would you? Based on your name and response I'm just assuming you're a white american girl. Whatever you want in life you can get (Not because you're white or a girl but because per se but because you live in a country where whatever you want you get work and get eventually). When I was a kid my mom worked for around 50-75 dollars a month. Can't complain as when she was growing up, if you wanted to buy meat you had to wait in line for like 2 days and use government stamps as money was useless (kinda like Venezuela nowadays). When I turned 17 I left my home and became homeless, after 3 months I managed to get a job at a supermarket, which allowed me to rent a bed in a very old, moldy and horrible room which I shared with 3 other people (so 4 of us in one small room) and still barely got by. Universities are free and I tried studying (Arabic studies) but I wasn't able to survive only working evenings so at some point I saved up few bucks to buy a ticket to the UK, where I slept on a train station until some beautiful people (also immigrants) allowed me to sleep on their kitchen floor for few weeks. Within 2 years I've managed to master the language and got myself out of construction jobs and retail, into a white collar job - first it was admin work but I got into sales and now I have my own apartament, middle class life and I'm still able to send my mother around 500 dollars a month just so she can buy herself some nice things.
      I'm not trying to brag as I'm just a normal person but I would be destined to be extremely poor until death in my home country. So I left and managed to help not only myself but also increase the standard of living for my whole family. This small amount of money (for me) that I send to my mother is more than she makes on her own in my hometown in a month. So we're supposed to stay in a shithole and die in a shithole instead of getting rich and changing the future of our whole bloodline because people look at us funny?
      Okay, white girl.

    I had the same experience as an American working in Ethiopia. I went from living in Florida as a maintenance man making a little over minimum wage, struggling to make rent, and pay bills. Then after a year in Ethiopia working English speaking classes getting paid only 10 usd a week. Yet somehow I could afford a house, a motorcycle and I was eating out and drinking every night and had time to travel the country and meet amazing people. Happiest I’ve ever been. The most expensive thing I bought in Ethiopia was my plane ticket back to the states. I didn’t have any help getting a visa because I went on my own as a tourist and worked illegally. Now I’m back living paycheck to paycheck wondering why I every left Ethiopia. As stupid as it sounds homesickness is what eventually did me in.

      Anecdotal examples don't prove anything, look up some work by Colin Flaherty if you can find it, his CZcams channel was shut down recently because he presents the inconvenient truth. 'My numbers' are hard to even find because it's not politically correct, so I can't find the original source. What's an acceptable number? 200% more rapes? That's woefully lower than the truth yet still abhorrent.

    I lived in China before, and I'd say while I had great time in China and a good 95% of experience was positive, I think Thailand is a much much better place for somebody who is black for those who want to live in this part of the world and want to enjoy the same costs of living and what-not. While China may have a few white and black people from selected countries working in schools, etc. here in Thailand we have people from Africa, America, the UK, the Philippines, Latin America, China all working at the same job and we all like it here. It's the way that prefer it. I like diversity and being to learn from people, etc.

    It’s Difficult being an Black African in India, in Pakistan, in the Middle East, in North Africa and in South America...and in this comment section 😂. However, what people should be honest about, especially people on the left, is that the West is the only place that treats blacks well. I’m mixed race I don’t speak from experience because I look more ambiguous most countries in South America and North Africa that I’ve been to mistake me as one of their own but I can see it all around me.

    I've got great story about this black teacher I used to work with in China!
    He'd just arrived at our school and I was eating breakfast with him in the canteen. My friend who was a Chinese teacher sat with us, and was pretty friendly with him. Then another Chinese teacher walks past and says in Chinese, "Who's the black guy?"
    She says in Chinese "He's a new teacher."
    "Where's he from?"
    "Must be from Africa."
    I didn't know what they were saying but the black teacher turned to her and said, "Why did you say that?"
    She goes red. "Say what?"
    "That I was from Africa?"
    I knew he was from America so at this point I started giggling at the situation she put herself in.
    He was fluent in Chinese and he used that to his advantage to call all the racists whenever he could. It was beautiful.
    Buttt. I was suspicious that he was a pedo, he was clearly flirting with some of the teenage students, and asked me why I didn't flirt with them (because he saw some of them had a thing for me). And I was like, "Because they're kids!"
    We didn't really hang out much after that!

    When I was looking into teaching English in Taiwan many years ago, my friend who worked there basically said there was little chance she could make it happen simply because I was black. It was hard to get an English teaching job if you were Asian (even if you grew up in an English speaking country), but pretty much impossible if you were black no matter what. She was able to pull some strings to maybe get an interview but it was so unlikely to turn out that I just decided to drop it. Then when I went to Singapore I was basically interrogated coming in and out of the country whereas my friend (who was Taiwanese, but using a US passport) had no problems.

    Its amazing to me that since the USA has China Towns in most large cities, and even in many smaller cities there are 50% plus populations in southern CA, etc., that it would be acceptable to have African Towns in China. Maybe even American Towns, who knows? A little quid quo pro for those that would want such a thing. But for me, the fact is, the USA life is a much better one with way more opportunity and space to grow. We have 1/5 the number of people here with the same geographical area. There is plenty of room. I think the USA is the land of opportunity, although I LOVED living in China for 3 years with my family. We had a wonderful adventure and the people were extremely nice to me, especially my wife, and certainly to ALL of our children. We were welcomed with open arms and never had an issue with police, racism, etc. It just did not exist in our bubble. We also lived in real Chinese community apartments and not in the silly foreigner "villas" where it looks like you are way more wealthy than you are. We were integrated, and it was great.

    there are a lot of white flowers on the tree, it resembles the same trees in Taiwan during this season, the bamboos along the way is always impressive to me, I have watch you ride through this area many times, I think it is pretty.

    You guys are awesome and you make educated and intelligent content. Most of your viewers, however, seem to be highschool dropouts living in a trailer park. I don't get what they are doing here.

      Thats just how it is, we'll see another holocaust within the next 20 years and then we'll have peace for a couple decades before it all starts over again. People are simple minded, egoistic and racist and that unfortunately will never change

      ravenkrofft I’m a high school drop out. However, I’m not compelled to spew racist drivel. People should be judged according to an individual assessment of character, and not according to broad stroke generalizations and stereotypes (ironically, including high school drop outs). Perhaps I’m just a statistical outlier, though.

      Yeah, I've watched a few of their videos and have noticed that they do seem to attract a LOT of questionable White men.

    LOve your videos guys, but certain topics are best talked perhaps on a quieter environment.... I appreciate the bike tours to show the beauty of China and wish this very interesting topic wold have been covered in a restaurant or private setting. Cheers!!!

    What makes me wonder is... dont they have pictures of you before they "raid"? I mean they should know who they're looking for. When they come in they should also know that you visa is valid, so here i think they think that you must do something illigal like drungs, because in their mind you shouldnt have the money for a home in that area, right? Still sucks that they cant take notes for the next time they check their stuff and think "oh, he shouldnt be there.. that seems special, so we better check it out".
    Another thing that comes into my mind... what about black americans? The school does their visas easy as well? Or is there no real info on that, because the school avoids back people from the start, because of the "white is better" stuff?
    I mean we all know that a white polish guy with bad accent (or a german like me) has higher value for them than a black native brit/american, correct?
