As a white guy who lived in China for two years in the early 2000s, I concur with this assessment.

Funny China racism story: once, while at a cafe with a Chinese friend (not a girlfriend), she pointed at the hair on my arms and said that was proof that Chinese people were more evolved, since westerners were more like monkeys.

It was an epic science literacy fail, and I can only imagine how much worse my Black countrymen had it.
