It’s true that Asians can be a racist bunch and that the situation is getting better with the new generation, but those are not reasons for Asians’ racist attitudes. Just because Asians value fair skin does not mean that they would intentionally disrepect someone with a darker skin color just because of skin color (unless that someone was a younger relative–it’s a hierarchal thing). Asian cultures are collectivist. For example, they don’t like anyone who ‘rocks the boat’ or stands out. In other posts, I’ve read that most black people like to ‘stand out’ in order to ‘rebel’ from the European culture that has suppressed them for so long. So actually, it’s more an issue of co-cultures clashing rather than skin color. It’s pretty simple–Asians are extremely ethnocentric and they are more concerned about class rather than skin color. So if someone acts in a manner that traditional Asians perceive as tasteless, Asians will not respect that person and will think of that person as lower class. In addition, in Asian cultures it’s OK to treat people who are below you like crap. The people who are at the bottom of this hierarchy expect this type of treatment. It’s just their way of life.
