Recent updates have fixed it for me. Make sure you're on the latest!

Modern autos with cvts are kinda at the point where it is basically magic. They feel like driving a golf kart that can reach 200km/h.

But which America is it? North or south?

Sure, but who the hell doesn't season their chicken?? It's good because it's versatile and it's only dry if you don't cook it well.

He's actually in Foshan! Accommodation is cheaper there apparently.

Im a migrant to Australia. It's true Australia has loads of issues involving racism. That said I DO have the right to protest, and vote towards a better future. And I can, and do, get involved with my community to do what I can regarding those topics. Importantly though I can live in the country and not face racism daily nor often get treated differently because of the way I look.

Regardless I'm obviously going to take the word of the actual Chinese migrants I know of, and the people I know living in China, over strangers on the internet. You're allowed to have your own opinions on it, I just don't think it's a great idea to hand wave the racism issues in China, particularly for people who are black or brown.

Yeah I suppose you're right, I've only heard about this regarding Guangdong and the likes. That said the cost of living is still significantly less than most Western countries. I suppose I just meant that it's easier to adapt and avoid the social issues if you have money but that applies anywhere.

Well other than growing around a large community of Han Chinese immigrants who all have different views on it sure. They are all generally aware of the racism issues in China particularly against black people. I'm assuming you have a much broader experience in China yourself and have seen otherwise outside of forums? If so I'd be more than happy to be wrong. But if first hand accounts from people who love China tell me that the country has a major issue with rampant racism, and have even told me that I wouldn't be a good fit for the country due to not being light skinned, I'm obviously taking that to heart.

It's possible to be critical of a country's issues without implying that I'm accusing the entire population of being racist 🤷‍♂️

Its worth noting I mean as an immigrant who is not ethnically Chinese. It's a tough place to adapt to if you aren't financially stable. Do note that my knowledge comes from the experience of people from Australia.

Exactly. If you are financially stable and can fit within what is considered socially acceptable then it's a great place to live.
