I see someone missed the point

She is talking about her own race not someone else's

you see wrong. you can't seriously be saying that someone can't be racist to their own race.
Mocking and being racist are two very different things. I can laugh at my own race or at stereotypes, but that does not mean I hold a specific race in higher regard.

As for internalised racism, the article makes no allusion to that. She is sharing her experiences growing up in a Chinese household. She isn't saying that Chinese people are inferior to, say, Caucasians but simply comparing her personal experiences with the stereotypes held by many non-Chinese people.

Stop being so sensitive and think logically before making unfounded conclusions. Or is that not a thing in your parts?
