<p>But in mainland China, as far as I understood, it's rather a matter of "tourist" curiosity than racism, right? (I mean, them being interested in the tourists, since they see so few "blacks", "whites" and "indians", in their country etc.)</p>

<p>Perhaps so, but still, it's discourteous. When Asians complain to racism, it's usually because they feel socially ostracized in a predominantly non-Asian setting. That's pretty much the same way every non-East Asian feels in places like Korea or China.</p>
