    I can't stand the Chinese. I find them incredibly rude, arrogant, selfish and somewhat cruel. I've been around Chinese a fair bit and it's made me somewhat jaded . Everything seems so cut throat.

    I just watched a charity promotional videos that saves animals in China . These poor animals a litrally being tortured for their products. What they have to go through is horrific and resembles a horror movie. The video reminded me how much I dislike the Chinese . Not that I'm saying all Chinese torture animals, but animal cruelty is a lot more prevelent there. Like it's not a one off nut job hurting animals for fun, it's an industry there . .

    I know it's wrong of me to hate a nation and I know there are good people in China, but I can't help but feel resentment towards the Chinese.

    I feel so bad about it but I can't bring myself accept the culture and social norms .

    You’re not a racist. You just happen to dislike certain negative characteristics that are somewhat exclusive to a particular race. If I hated certain racial characteristics that are mostly common among the white man, I don’t think that would make me a racist.

    ~ Good for you to express yourself honestly. Today's goofy political correct guilt tripping victimhood mentality can make you feel "racist". Not liking a culture's custom does not qualify. Like saying "I don't like ugly!" does not mean that you do not like ugly people - just the appearance.
    I rescue stray cats. Certain countries eat cats ! China included. I suppose I am labeled a racist - as are my cats ...

    Almost as bad as racism is the overuse of the word and the label it applies. It devalues instances of actual racism.

    Not liking China culture is not racist. It's simply based on values preferences.

    Thinking all people who look chinese are meanys is bigoted.

    Thinking white or black or hispanic people are genetically superior to the asian race, is racist.

    I think that is right...

    The overuse of "your'e a racist" is now wielded as a political cudgel, most often.
