Topic: China and Africa

Something I find kinda confusing as a black dude is racists aren’t really sure where to place the Chinese relative to black people. Half the time racists will say "oh Asians are more intelligent than blacks the Chinese will enslave all the Africans and Chinese people hate blacks!" Then half the time they’ll look down on the Chinese and be like, "Oh the Chinese never invented anything all they do is copy white people! Chinese people all eat dogs and their culture is trash."
But it’s also kinda funny because I don’t really think Chinese people know what to think either. In real life and also on the internet I’ve heard different Chinese people say things that aren’t really consistent. Some Chinese people have issues with blacks, but then some Chinese people have white guilt for some reason… even though they’re not white. I’ve seen Chinese people say things along the lines of they feel like they could be treated better but they feel guilty for saying anything because they feel like blacks have it worse or something. Which doesn’t make any sense to me. Then there is a small minority of Chinese people who are just full blown communist pro CCP that think "China and Africa are partners!" (Somebody unironically said that to me one time IRL.)
Idk, I just feel like I wish people would make up their mind about it. Because I’m not sure what my angle is supposed to be even. Half the time it’s white people saying Asians are better than me as a black dude, but then some people talk shit about Asians to the point where I don’t really agree with it. But then there’s also the whole political component to it that you’re not supposed to say anything good about China or else you’re a communist or something. But like… not everybody who hates China hates China because of the Chinese government. Some people actually hate the culture and don’t care about the government.

The way you can tell btw is some people will say "I don’t hate the Chinese people I just hate the government." Those people aren’t racist. But then some people, you can ask them, "Well you’re just talking about the government right?" And they’ll respond with, "No, it’s their culture."

I think China being authoritarian makes it more confusing. Because for example, nobody in the United States gives a shit about authoritarianism in Africa. They just don’t care. Nobody in the United States ever criticizes African governments, they just do not care at all ever beyond "corruption muh!" So whenever somebody talks shit about Africa, basically 100% of the time it’s racially motivated, so it’s super simple. With China though it’s like, eh… I can’t really tell what you’re doing. I’ve had the experience of talking to people on the internet for example, and I thought they were just anti CCP, which makes sense, but then it ends up going somewhere I didn’t expect. So idk.

Tbh part of the reason Americans never criticize African governments is most Americans have no clue which countries in Africa are democracies and which ones are authoritarian. They’re just totally clueless. Then some idiots think Africa is poor because Africa is communist when there aren’t even any communist countries in Africa. They never have any intelligent criticism beyond "oh blacks are stupid it’s your own fault you’re poor it was better back when whites enslaved you."

Like there are literally countries in Africa where if you get off the plane chances are your taxi driver is a police officer. Nobody ever says anything about that.
