    depends, theres always racism, in fact many people like in HK look down on mainland Chinese people

    Of course back in the day, probably everyone thought we were inferior, but these days, people know how powerful the Chinese are becoming

    yup agreed...some hk ppl look down on mainland...but some ppl from beijing look down on ppl from other regions too

    and...chin. at my office look down on Filipinos... =/
    whereas some aussie colleagues make jokes of chinese ppl sometimes or make comments in front of us chinese...which really makes mad sometimes

    But Malaysian Chinese look down on own other country's Malay too.. As Malaysia consist of 3 main races, Malay, Chinese n Indian, Even Chinese in malaysia look down on Malays in Malaysia..

    There is always some sort of racism between chinese people and non-chinese people. I don't think people will look down on chinese people, but they will just dislike them.

    ProjectD VIP yay :]

    other races thinking chinese people are inferior, is because they know that were becoming stronger so they try to hide it by saying sh*t and stuff

    nope they are just jealous that we can do more things..
     
  12. imo no race looks down on another race, only certain individuals in any particular race/ethnicity. there will always be racism and prejudice no matter what. don't worry about such people, everyone is equal, what i can do, u can do, they can do, simple as that. i also dont believe that is is jealousy, its plain hate.

    Why do you not believe jealousy is one of the reasons?

    Especially Chinese from Shanghai... they look down on Chinese from "poorer" and "not as developed" regions of the mainland, ie. rural and remote areas.
     
  15. ^^ i guess it causes them to feel better about themselves and gives them more of a feeling of self worth by looking down on others they consider below themselves :(

    It actually happens both ways. Racism and discrimination occur everywhere among all types of ethnic groups. So yeah, I've heard a lot of racial jokes from whites and blacks about Asians being slanty-eyed smart asses (esp. math nerds) who often mess up the grading curve for others. Then there's also the Chinese who discriminate against the whites and blacks calling them "baak gwai" or "haak gwai"....Like master_g said, discriminating against others allows people to feel better about themselves, and in order to promote their own pride and self-worth, they often disregard others' feelings in the process.
