Black people in China are the hardest hit by racism of all the ethnic groups. For instance, many people in China believe that being Black means you’re poor. This stems from the class divisions within Chinese culture, according to www.chinaexpat.com. In a familiar refrain, light-skinned Chinese people looked down on darker-skinned people for thousands of years, and those dark-skinned people were relegated to being peasant farmers.
