A must-read article "African Chinese: What We Need to Face" by "Black Kid in Changsha", posted by Say No to Hate in China. "It is inevitable for mixed race Chinese, especially dark skinned mixed race Chinese, to face malicious online abuse and racism." https://mp.weixin.qq.com/s/W29yIVMgeDB6vZGdeF0e-g
"The reality is there are many African Chinese. But once they get on the media, the online abuse and racism will follow. The malicious intent came from nowhere."
"Yu Hua is an African Chinese from Shanghai. He went on television when he was 11. ...His mother is a Chinese doctor working in Africa, and still in Mali. Such a great mother with such a noble job, Yu Hua still cannot escape online abuse and racism."
"Recently a girl named Zhong Feifei went on a talent reality show. She suffered online abuse and racism again because her father came from Congo."
"She grew up in China, and now studies in John Hopkins University with a masters in international security and anti-terrorism. Clearly, she is a gorgeous and super smart girl, but still suffers racist attacks."
"Nina is from Beijing. Her dad was a diplomat from Guinea Bissau. A few years ago she went on a show, talked about her experience of being stopped at the Chinese border because the customs officers couldn't believe her Chinese passport was real. She often joked about this."
"Ding Hui comes from Hangzhou. He's a former member of the China national volleyball team. When he was playing for our country's honour, he suffered a lot of racism and online abuse."
"He retired at the age of 23, went to America to study and came back to China. Now he's away from the public eye."
Black kid in Changsha:"I also hope that more people can know about the presence of mixed race Chinese, especially African Chinese, in the society. I genuinely hope we can gradually drive out racism in the society."
