<p>Because it was so mind boggling to me that this was happening and no one even really knows about it.</p>
<p>It is so mainstream to believe that white people are the most racist people in the world and they are the only ones who can be truly racist, but then I found out about this. When you first think of Asia you don't usually think of a hell for anyone that isn't Asian or White but that is exactly what it is for many people.</p>
<p>I read a story about a Nigerian couples kid that was growing up in Japan. They caught their daughter putting makeup all over her body so that she could look white because the Japanese kids made fun of her everyday because they said her skin was the color of dog crap.</p>
<p>I've heard of people being outright rejected for a english teaching job because of their skin color in Asia. They tell people to their face "you're perfect for the job but your black/hispanic and that wouldn't go over to well with the mothers."</p>
<p>There are ads in Asia for English teachers and on them they say "Blond hair and Blue Eyes" are required.</p>
<p>Chinese media straight up called Condoleeza Rice an ugly black gorilla or something like that when she went over there for talks.</p>
<p>When you're own grandparents won't go outside with you because you're mixed that is ridiculous.</p>
<p>When most mixed half black/asian kids are given to adoption there is a huge problem. I read about about an orphanage in Korea that houses about a hundred half black/korean kids. And they are having a hard time adopting them because people say they don't have the clear asian skin. Thats some ********.</p>
<p>It is a huge problem in 2007 for mixed kids in Asia. They are being treated like black people were being treated during before the civil rights movement and sometimes worse. And these are kids. </p>
<p>I just found it very interesting and troubling that while black people in America complain about their problems so much, and always talk about helping their brothers and sister all over the world(and many black people consider mixed children black, the one drop rule is still in effect), nothing is done for these kids. I doubt most people even know these kids have to go through it and it seems no one really cares.</p>
