[quote=GUESTBAI JIU BLUES,413432]I lived in Beijing for 3 years and am married to a Chinese native. Chinese people are most def. racist and judgmental towards Americans of African descent. They wouldn't even believe I was American. They saw the color of my skin and my afro and treated me like an (assumed) poor African. [mood16] His parents still don't approve of me and his extended family is in the dark about our relationship because his "traditional" (just a euphemism for racist. My mother is "traditional" and welcomed him with open arms) parents don't want any of their family to know their only son ended up with a "hei nv." [mood9]I would not recommend you move there. While we got stupid comments while living in NYC from darker skinned men (on the other hand, encouragement from darker ladies) it was nothing compared to what we faced in China: they assumed I didn't know what they were saying and spoke about me in front of my face to my husband. Horrible experience that I wouldn't wish upon anyone else. [mood4] You will literally feel the scrutiny and disapproval non-stop. Don't buy the bs on here about nobody caring. People say that crap to be PC on the surface. Someone used their relatively new appreciation of basketball as an indicator of their open-mindedness, but let me make it clear: they love Michael Jordon but would never want him to marry into their family!
