You seem to judge the Chinese, their ways and morality purely through the eyes of a modern liberal, social justice campaigning, westerner. You must accept that they have not fallen foul of political correctness, and do not have such a concept as safe spaces (well, neither do we outside the cloistered world of the NUS), nor do they feel the need to hide their views as many westerners do.

They are different.

By the same token, many Middle Eastern countries don't permit many things that the western democracies think are essential.

This is just disgusting, it labels all of these people as more likely to be dangerous and uncivilised.

No, they clearly link the two, eg, they give the colour of the local population as the reason for avoiding the area.

I do wonder though if this is one of those lost in translation things. Perhaps the Chinese source doesn't quite come over this way, or then again, maybe they watered it down for the English version?

Honestly, its probably not a mistranslation at all. People over here in china are very blunt and matter of fact with their opinions about race.

I work in education, and parents will happily come up and say 'I dont want a black/brown/indian/african teacher for their kids. I ask why and they explain that they think there is a greater chance of their child learning non-optimum things, such as mis-pronounciations of words, non-white/western culture, bad bodylanguage habbits etc.

now in our western eyes much of that is ******** and would be coined racist, but for them its the reality they see, and they are very blunt with it. So for me, I have no doubt at all they would not have had a second thought of saying to their tourists dont go to these areas because they contain X minority.. either for health reasons, or because they just dont want to see minorities when they come to england (in their eyes england is still a white country, so that is what they want to see when they come here)

Is it actually possible for you to attack my argument without these absurd, assumptive labels? I'm not a 'modern liberal' or a social justice campaigner. But that seems to be the core of your response.

Maybe they should avoid going to places in their own country... like Tibet

Not at all. The core of my response - the bit you ignored in your rush to attack me - is that the Chinese are, on the whole, different from westerners in this area and that you should not (and have no right to) expect them to hold the same opinions as you (or anyone in the west) about what is right or what is the right language to use.

On the basis of pure probability, isn't that true?

If you wanted me to address your point, you should've emphasised it better instead of rushing to call me an SJW / modern liberal. Stop being a hypocrite.

if blacks are a small percentage more likely to commit crimes, it doesn't warrant people to discriminate against every single black

I see nothing wrong with what they did. But of course some people will get all butt-hurt.

And one more thing, being British is to do with skin colour as well...sorry to say it. There are Somali people whose families have lived in the UK since the 30s, they're still Somali, end of. We'd say the same about Brits in Kenya for example. They're not Kenyan. It's about culture, heritage etc. It's deeper than what is written on a document for formality's sake.

'what is British culture'
