Scientists inspired by Darwin and his eugenics theories.

Saw another story that white racism will be kept alive by lighter skinned blacks in the future.

Now we have white Chinese. Go figure.

Btw, both Sky News and - surprisingly- 60 Minutes Australia are based. They both have many stories on the danger China poses to Australia.

When everyone has their KKK hoods on, you can’t tell which ones are white and which ones aren’t. All you can tell is that they are white supremacists.

For the past three centuries, power and whiteness have been synonymous

A great example of only looking at data from a period of time that confirms the author's theory. A more comprehensive view of history shows that power has been wielded by just about every racial and cultural group. Genghis Khan is one example, as are the many other powerful Asian leaders. The same is true in Africa.

Of course anyone who has to resort to assigning "whiteness" as some aspect of Chinese culture is just showing their own cultural bias and racially centered thinking.

The CCP will use the West’s woke, racial self-flagellation against it whenever it can in external, foreign affairs.

Its actually a strange and even hypocritical notion for average Chinese though - because their whole system of nationhood and national identity is built almost entirely on race (Han), and they actively look down on others not of their race, particularly blacks.

Thus this use of “woke” propaganda is only used by the government, in its foreign propaganda. None will ever leak into domestic culture or politics.

China's Ambassador to Australia, Xiao Qian, says that's how it appears to people in other countries.

Too f'n bad.

“It was then that scientists started to divide the world up into groupings of colour. Colour denoted civilisation”

Scientific?

More like Fauxcy “Science”.

This is a bunch of bunk. If the author knows any Chinese, he misses the possibility that the Chinese are merely playing the ‘color-card’ for the possible bonus points it wins with liberal idiots like the writer.

Reality is, Chinese favor fair (i.e. light) skin. This is why the Chinese women always have umbrellas and use skin lightening products to keep their skin milky white even into old age. They don’t ‘tan’ themselves like Western Women do, and the result is why so many middle-aged Chinese women appear to be in their 20s.

I will barely mention the Chinese distaste for black people.

BULL-loney! There's as much racism among East Asians as there is among other groups, and perhaps even more.

An acquaintance of mine who was born in China's Kwangtung Province has a last name that is common in both China and Korea. His office is a few blocks from Koreatown in LA, but he has no Korean patients. He says that when potential Korean patients call him, they hang up when they find that he's Chinese.

Read Darwin's Origin of Species (it'd probably be banned if I posted the full title of his book). In it he noted things like that red ants used black ants as slaves and that, in his view, the red ant colony would cease to exist without the black ant slaves.

For those who couldn't piece together how his natural selection fit into keeping non-whites in their place, Darwin wrote a sequel to his book a decade or so later. In Descent of Man he gets really ugly about how whites evolved in a way superior to non-whites, how life is better off if the whites out-produce the non-whites, and that it can be best achieved by if whites keep non-whites too poor to survive and thrive (the argument being thriving leads to more babies).

Yes this.

Darwin’s theories were accepted widely in America in the eugenics movement. This led to sterilization of the mentally handicapped and they were also the first to be exterminated by the Nazis.

Darwin’s connection to the Final Solution has been either ignored or rewritten by his leftist supporters. Aryan theory of superiority owed as much to Darwin as Nietzsche. The “lesser races” were a threat to the more evolved and, therefore, it was proper to dispose of them. Jews were viewed as inferior as they had intermarried with blacks while in captivity in Egypt.

Amazing Americans have no clue about history but it is by design.

The following are the 56 ethnic groups officially recognized by the People’s Republic of China (39 in 1954; 54 by 1964; with the most recent addition the Jino people in 1979).

The Han as you say are at the top of the heap!

Term for Europeans - Gweilo original meanings are ghost man, white devil even sick old man

Adherents to the West’s self-flagellation are called Baizuo. From Wikipedia (and accurate considering the source!) Baizuo means refers to those who “only care about topics such as immigration, minorities, LGBT rights and the environment”, but lack a concept of “real problems in the real world”. It is also used to describe those “hypocritical humanitarians who advocate political correctness just to satisfy their own sense of moral superiority”. Some used this word to indicate those “ignorant and arrogant westerners” who “pity the rest of the world and think they are saviours”.

And the Rape of Nanjing by Japan. Japan views Chinese (and all other Asian races) as inferior.

Racism likely exists as a survival mechanism in humans. Gather in groups for safety and fight against the “other.” African tribes kill and slaughter each other. Asians. Whites. Look at Russia and Ukraine who are essentially brothers killing each other by the thousands. Part of depravity of human nature.

But - ironically racist to do so - whites are all evil to the media and our institutions. So anyone evil is, by definition, guilty of “whiteness.”

Blame Darwin’s cousin, not Darwin.

Darwin would have been appalled by Sovial Darwinism.

The fall of the Qing Empire in the 19th century hastened a racial reckoning for the Chinese.

This was a dark night of the soul; it would tip China into a century of upheaval, revolution, and violence on an industrial scale.

But the Chinese celebrate the fall of the repressive, corrupt and incompetent Ch'ing* dynasty, which was run by the Manchus, a minority group who lorded it over the Han Chinese, who makes up most of the country's population. On Taiwan, October 10 (10/10--Double Ten), the anniversary of the overthrow of the Ch'ing dynasty and the establishment of the Republic of China in 1911 is celebrated as a national holiday. Last week, I sent my Chinese dentist friend, whom I mentioned earlier, a message wishing him a happy Double Ten.

*I insist on using the Wade-Giles system for Romanizing Chinese words, and not the Pinyin system, which the Chicoms created.
