| Greetings. I am a 35-year-old African American woman who will be accepting a teaching position as a Foreign Expert. I have a 10 year old son. Does anyone have any thoughts on the matter? Has anyone noticed how people of color are treated in China? Thanks. |

| Not as bad as in the US. Maybe people will stare at you (happens to most foreigners) but you wont get beaten up by the police. |

| I agree, all foreigners are stared at in general (although not as much in the big cities). But i've never experienced any racism in China, except towards the Japanese. I've met a few african americans studying both in Shanghai and Beijing and there doesn't seem to be any problems. |

| Staring is just because of interest. Especially in rural areas they dont see many foreigners, so people tend to stare at aliens, no racist background. |
