Fair skinned jamaican beauty contestants get the same flack,even when they are born and raised in Jamaica,.....we are all guilty of the same xenophobia.

i agree. although the white/fair skin contestants will always get the edge over blacks because whites are the standard of beauty even to blacks. it runs pretty deep when even blacks don't count themselves as beautiful as whites. that's my point.
Re: Can a mixed-race contestant become a Chinese Idol?
The same goes for racism.
Blacks are as racist against blacks as whites. The reason is that racism is taught, by societal behavior and communications.
So it affects blacks equally as it does whites.
after all the same information that whites get, the blacks get.
It does not matter if you are left handed, you will believe that left handed people are susceptible to whatever the society taught you it is
the same for race.
we believe what we are taught, by those we trust to know more than us.
whether it makes us less or better.
we also act on our beliefs. <div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: SueSumba</div><div class="ubbcode-body"><div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: neutral</div><div class="ubbcode-body"><div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: SuSumba</div><div class="ubbcode-body">

Re: Can a mixed-race contestant become a Chinese Idol?
I am not surprised at their reaction,i would be more surprise if they fully accepted her as one of them.Blacks are the only ones conditioned to think that every other race is superior to them and these other races should represent them ,in any situation considered socially, economically or politically important.
Re: Can a mixed-race contestant become a Chinese Idol?
that her skin color became such a talking point once she was in the "public" eye of the TV show implies that she never felt her mixed race was an issue in her daily life
I find that interesting if that is indeed the case.
I was watching Chinese television a few weeks ago, indulging in the guilty pleasure of what seemed like a beauty contest. The “Oriental Angel” reality talent show featured pretty, young Chinese girls who were talking, dancing and singing - including a black woman speaking perfect Mandarin and Shanghainese, the city’s local dialect.
My Chinese wasn’t good enough to understand that she’s frequently referred to on the program as “our chocolate girl Lou Jing” or the “black pearl.”
The public performance of Lou Jing, who apparently has a Chinese mother and an African American father, has unleashed heated debate on Chinese television, radio and blogs. Everyone in Shanghai, it seems, knows about Lou Jing, and many have nothing but negative things to say about her.
Some say she’s a foreigner, despite being born and raised here with a Chinese mother. Others claim she should pay for her mother’s crime: cheating on her Chinese husband with a black foreigner. Lou Jing, in an interview, has said her parents’ extramarital sex was a rumor. Her father left her mother before realizing she was pregnant, and has never been a part of Lou Jing’s life, she has said in interviews.
Cayman Islands did a similar act, when they had a black Miss cayman.
They say She looked Jamaican and did not truly represent Cayman. <div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: blakkgiant</div><div class="ubbcode-body">Black-Chinese Woman Unleashes Internet Scorn

Shanghai’s most green [cuckolded] man, whose wife gives birth to a black man’s child~~
Lou Jing’s mother had a husband, then had an extramarital affair with a black man, then gave birth to Lou Jing, and then after her birth divorced.
And that black devil, after **** back to his home in Africa.
It is unimaginable how that Shanghainese man [husband], excited and anxious to see his own “daughter”, must have felt when he saw that she was black…
A response by Lou Jing on KDS:
I am DragonTV Angel Lou Jing, and here I make a statement!
1. My father is American, not African.
2. I am a born and bred Shanghainese person.
3. I should not have to bear my parents’ mistake, I am innocent!
4. Sternly but strongly protest some people’s racism, my skin color should not become a target of attack!
