10 HOURS OF WALKING IN CHINA AS A BLACK MAN, HOW CHINESE REACT TO BLACK PEOPLE? (BLACK IN CHINA) 

Thank you very much

Your walk says a lot, you are beautiful and it's beautiful to see you venture out into another country where you never know how people would react in good or bad love it.

Beat me to it, yes sir

纯属想多了。对于一个那么小的小女孩来说，“黑”只是颜色、肤色的名称，没有其他含义。别把西方政治正确那一套带入中国来解释。

I am Chinese, but in Mandarin saying "black" or "white" does mean "tan" and "pale" as well. It doesn't necessarily mean skin color, or race, but also skin tone. For example, Chinese people will call other Chinese people "black" or "white" to say things like, "You look tan" or "You look pale." There are actually no words in Mandarin to describe being tan or pale.😅

That is true. And the sense of what is "personal" or "sensitive" is much narrower among the Chinese (maybe other Asians too). For eg. they think nothing of information like age, weight, illnesses, marital status. People may feel annoyed with the person for being a busybody, but not because it is a subject that must not be talked about. People who has had too much of the sun, they say "you are so black. where have you been?' People who might have had some illnesses, they say "you are pale as a ghost. you need to eat more". Overweight people might get described as "fatty" and that is a common nickname for them. There's even a patriotic song that reminds the chinese people "whereever you go, don't ever forget our black hair and yellow faces". Most things are fine if people don't get overly sensitive and feel that every sentence or statement has racist overtones to it,

Happy new year 🎆🎊

Yeh, but lot of people use this as an argument to tell people that Chinese are racist sadly 🥲

@@jivvyjack7723 yse,In fact most Chinese people don't understand racial discrimination.

What if I said why are your eyes so small

God bless! I appreciate that, thank you

Thank You for sharing your experience. It's great that You're open minded and excepting of others. Be well ❣️😌🌾

In China, its not common for the Chinese to see any Black person in person. They may have seen them in TV, but not in real life. So they'd feel surprised, especially among the young kids. Similarly, Blacks in Africa are surprised if they first time ever encounter a White person.

How do you know what every Chinese person is thinking?

@peifengli4058 。。。视频中的是南京，江苏省省会

@@kriztoppa He's saying YOU don't know what they're thinking. It's a fact that this dude is different -- he's black in China, which makes him different -- and people almost universally will be curious when they encounter such a stark difference, especially in a country where foreigners aren't as prevalent. Even the lady in the beginning who shunned him might just not wanted to be on a video, as many people don't, so there's no need to jump to the "racism" conclusion, like every fucking moron Liberal in America.

Sorry, but chinese people are so extremely racist against black strangers, but if he's a white guy, these chinese had a gret and friendly behavior with him..

Lol seems like fun video hahaha

Haha and that police car would stop and the police would interrogate you and handcuff you and if you resist you may end up like G Floyd 🤔😒

Or they calling 911

@@bldomain Ah Koy was obviously referring to the US. He was just continuing the OP comment.

Some people are just really shy and don't want to be on camera too, I wouldn't go straight to assuming the worst.

You’re a street vendor,you’re supposed to communicate with people on the street, I don’t believe it’s because she is shy, come on!

Thank you

Go to Zimbabwe

Thanks for sharing!!

What is this? Why present it like you're the only black man in China

I travelled to China. They are great people. The are curious but definitely not racist. The real racism is what we see in U S A where people gets killed for their skin color

@@torbjrnmelbye6823 Hahahaha Maybe he's a loner and hasn't quite made friends with other black people in China. Or maybe he was by himself that day and wanted to record his first hand experience 🤷🏾‍♀️ Idk

当你过马路的时候,在你背后的人告诉你,让你小心一点,你正在过马路,最后你没有听懂.于是他发出了尴尬的笑声.

@@Sophia4syn at 8:18 ?

Haha thank you

I appreciate that

Are you stupid? Do you know how many black people that are living, studying and doing business in China? Black people are not an attraction in China

Actually, it's not new. Sucker

Go to Guangzhou and find black people

You are so welcome

Thank you

I appreciate that!

Thank you

Really? This is brave? Do you ever acknowledge an asian person living in a mostly white or black neighborhood as "brave and gutsy"? A yellow or brown person is much, much more likely to get real racist (as opposed to curiosity) attacks in London than a black man in Beijing.

Glad you enjoyed it!

Correction: "你吃了吗?" means "have you eaten?", and ""你吃饱了吗?" means "are you full?". They are very different. My personal advice though - even though "Have you eaten?" is known to be the more common and less formal way of saying hello, the tone and the almost formulaic responses are EXTREMELY hard to master, as it kind of has a culture tie to the last generation Beijing natives. For example, depends on the time of the day or the place you meet, you might have to say "I haven't yet." or "I'm about to." (If you say you already had lunch at 11AM, you are probably lying.) At which point, the other person would invite you to have lunch with them as a courtesy. But almost all the time, you should politely refuse and thank them for offering because the other person was probably not serious about the proposition to begin with. So now you can probably see why most young people would avoid doing this. (This informal way of greetings are ironically too formal at situations.) "你好", "hi", "hello" would be the the better greetings in almost 99% of the time, quick and simple.

@@pizzatime9565 Jeez, no need to make life so complicating.

Ni Hao Maa, Ni Jiao Shen me Mingzo

Thanks for coming

Rubbish! Lots of Chinese people walk up to me in the streets and start talking.

@@kriztoppa I have no idea where you live but we don’t do that. In fact, we try to avoid strangers as much as possible

I appreciate that

That being said black man can pop up anywhere on this planet with cam, i am walking then be killed, i do not want to hear that chinese are racist ,Question what is he doing in china?

Thank you

谢谢

Nope. Some people are just racist, mate. Sorry to break the news to you mate. This is the real world for most of color.

You hit the hammer 🔨 right on the nail !!!

Thank you

Thank you very much

@@FelThommy u are welcome

More traditional unmarried Chinese women generally ignore the accosted middle-aged young men they don't know

That seller lady at the cart didn't even realize he was behind her, maybe she was wearing earphones listening music.

@@JoanManuelSB keep it up 👍

Sure, I’ll work on that

Afrehyia Pa🎉🎉. Thank you very much

Unless people travel outside

Yes Alot of western don't know china because they just look what western media show bad narrative about China and I as an Asian feel sad to see it all

You already know why let's not be purposely oblivious

@@devinmartin2098 You are probably right, I’m just trying to be optimistic

@@devinmartin2098 I know right. But watch what happens when you ignore THEM.... when you disrespect them!

If you go back a watch THEN they acknowledged him as he walked away

@@shiningdragon8737 I didn’t noticed before thanks for telling me.

@@dexulosi9866 Yes, sometimes it's different,people's views towards black people are also changing because of what's happening in the world and USA,but to be honest you can't change everyone's thoughts, and forget about all of the differences, now you are in a different culture and world, don't be too alert and connect everything with your color. Work hard and learn the local language and culture and history, be one of them not a stranger. Only this way, you will be able to have a happy, meaningful and fruitful life.

If not only do the history but it's also due to current events. We deal with racism and discrimination everywhere we go. We don't know if people mistreat us because they are jealous or racist. We don't know But if we get treated differently compared to people who aren't black who are within the same establishment then you will hear us say, "Is it because I'm black"? So, yeah, we are quite sensitive. Did you know that at @12:38, non black people do this to black people often , and especially in New York? I followed two black guys who were walking on the sidewalk and videotaped the reactions that non black people have and every last one of them did what this girl did. Or how some chinese speakers will pretend not to understand the Mandarin black people use or they will blatantly ignore them ? Or how some chinese people will be irritable and short with black people in their restaurants but smile and speak politely to Caucasians? It hurts our feelings, you know ? Of course we will be sensitive . I remember before the pandemic, people seemed friendlier or maybe I was naive since I hadn't experienced racism but once or twice, until the pandemic hit. But I agree with learning the language and culture. I find that SOME Chinese speakers are SURPRISED AND AMUSED by foreigners learning their language. I've met good people and even consider some ladies whom I've know for about three years as my Other family. They were always so kind to me no matter how I looked or dressed and they always treated me well. I wanted to donate a couple $1000k to their business but when I visited last week, I found that it was closed down. 😥😢 I think good people are hard to find in any race. It's just that blacks have to deal with racism more than Asians. Asians use to deal with racism in America too

@@nicoleraheem1195 I am truly sorry for black people that have suffered so much in the history and nowadays, it's so bad, and me as a Chinese living in Australia have also experienced discrimination and racism. But I also know that other people's thoughts towards Chinese are very much shaped by their media and governments, I can't really change anything about it, it just doesn't worth it if I only can change 1 or 2 persons mind on the street, if you do want to do such things, you have to prepare to get hurt millions of times before things get better. Chinese know that only when our country is powerful then they will start to respect you and treat you equal,that's why black folks still has a long way to go, cuz people's thoughts towards them are mostly shaped by America. You can't blame people outside of your country care less about you, because to be honest people only care about their own business, they can pretend to care but eventually you have to fight for your own life and race and country. Before that, take care and try to experience and explore more of other wonderful things in the world.

@@user-iq5hq9ly2x I agree with your perspective wholeheartedly

@@user-iq5hq9ly2x I'm sorry that you have to deal with racism too. It's like, we have to develop tough skin because we can't escape it.

Haha 🤣🤣🤣 lol

Oh I see, which city speaks that?

Ohh I just read about Justice Pao, interesting. Thanks for the kind words. I’ll try get the costume and see how it goes.

Justice Pao is well respected person among Chinese. All senior Chinese and who watch Chinese opera will know Justice Pao.

I would say most Chinese people know him. His a very well known historical figure and there were quite a few popular dramas based on his story

Thank you!

Chinese common phrase 😊

It’s a common phrase here in China, it almost like saying bye bye to someone & then you say take care But here, it’s a polite way of saying take care, 慢走(man zou) means walk slowly or carefully.

Oh ok thank you! Keep up the great work man love your videos 🙏🏾@@FelThommy

Qu na ge (去那个) means “go to ermm “….

meeeeee

Haha 😂, I wasn’t sure what they were doing

and a live too

Sure

lol

He was outnumbered 2 billion to 1

Thank you

You stupid white people, Chinese never enslaved black people, white people enslaved black people. China is not a country of immigrants, we have 1.4 billion people of yellow race, understand?

Yeah I mean they are not from the western countries where people are taught not to say that. It’s a totally different culture and they don’t get to see people with different skin colors, just simple like that, and it’s not even racist
