A story for you, the most senior Chinese member of staff in the HK subsid of my company when I was a manager out there. We were in a Mkt-ing Mgt meeting, the topic the work on a $50 mln LPG facility that was causing problems. My colleague, also a Brit, hired in a talented Barbadian young engineer from our W-Indian subsid, who knew how to resolve the issue, the Chinese manager coming out with the immortal "What the hell are we doing with a n---er in the company? That wasn't a one-off view out there of black folk either. Also, if you want more background to this, read this tome, 1st two chapters and you'll understand where they are coming from much better. Bo Yang, the author served a lengthy time in a Taiwanese prison for exposing Confucianism and the negative side of Chinese society, including views on the need for racial pluralism.
