To a certain point, I agree with you. And I am an American of Chinese descent. And I understand all too well, that there is a political correctness against people of European heritage projecting that same racial superiority. Whereas other people, whether from Africa, Middle East or Asia seem to get somewhat of a free pass. Not entirely a free pass, but more so than those of European descent.
However, be grateful that that is true as this is an indication that the West still leads the world. For there will come a day, when the world will resent China's racial smugness more than any potential or possible European or Western smugness :) People tend to feel the most threatened by the smugness of those who have more than those who have less.
Being around people who are poor and smug vs those who are wealthy and smug, have a different feel to the recipient of that attitude. One feels more threatening than the other even though they are the same attitudes of racial superiority.
So, as the global environment evolves and the economic center of gravity shifts Eastward, the world will slowly feel more of and resent China's Sino Centric view of the world. So, be grateful that we aren't there ...... yet ;)
Anyways... those are my 2 cents.
I really appreciate your intelligent reply and I agree with you.
We live in a world of double standards.
That is undoubtedly a fact.
Look, many of these Asian countries I mentioned don’t wear their superiority on their sleeve.
If you are a tourist, you are not going to encounter it for the most part. It isn’t like some white person is going to go to Asia and experience an Asian version of the Klan out to get you.
But there exists an institutionalized racism in Asian countries that basically says screw you whitey, screw you blackey, screw you my Asian neighbor. The whole notion of one Asian culture is a myth.
The one thing that might save America down the long road is that powerful Asian countries will compete for the position of top dog, at least regionally, and keep each other in check, and most likely with the US military in their corner.
As far as the China goes, it is in a tough neighborhood with Russia, India, Japan, Korea, and Vietnam as neighbors.
It can’t afford to get uppity.
