BEIJING — A lavish four-hour Lunar New Year show televised to millions across China on Thursday night set off a flood of indignation with its caricatures featuring blackface and African men in animal suits. The gala, televised by China’s state broadcaster, featured a well-known Chinese actress as an African woman with exaggerated buttocks, a large chest and a face painted black. Carrying a platter of fruit on her head, she was accompanied by an African man dressed as a monkey. {snip}The skit was set in Kenya, home to a new Chinese-built railroad between the capital, Nairobi, and the coastal town of Mombasa that is part of China’s Belt and Road development initiative. Dancers dressed as zebras, giraffes, lions and antelopes opened the sequence before the actress Lou Naiming appeared with her outsize rear and

The Chinese consider themselves superior in every way to all other races. They self refer as “The Middle Kingdom” for that reason.

China is entrenched in parts of Africa and will be expanding there. Just as it is entrenching in South America. China has the money, brains and manpower to become worldwide.

The skit reminds me of the cartoons in Punch and the New Yorker in the 20s and 30s

The Chinese attitude towards Africans and their overseas descendants is very well known to anyone who pays attention.

Good. But the left will still blame Whites for it.

There’s a reason “black” and “slave” are the same word in Arabic.

>> American companies cannot legally provide any money back to those making the decisions ...

As a former “nonsked” (contract) pilot, I dealt at length with officials in both Darkest Africa and South of the Border Pedrolands.

I was much amused when my company - United Airlines - took over Eastern Airlines’ Central and South American routes in 1991. They were shocked! shocked! at the under the table $$s that had to be passed.

But if anybody is ruthless enough to finally beat it, it would be the Chinese.

Asians, in general, are notoriously racist.

Not just against white or blacks but against other Asian groups as well.

My MIL is from Thailand--I have heard it all from her and her friends. "Dirty Laos" "Dirty Cambodians" "White sluts" "Criminal Vietnamese" "Jayboojiggaboo" when referring to blacks. They let the N word fly like they are saying the word "hello".

I have been shopping with her and watch her peruse the cashiers and if there is an Asian cashier, that's where she goes. Because even a "dirty Cambodian" cashier out ranks a white or black one.

Disclaimer: she is crazy also.
