Leo (Chinese American) : ”Of course there are Han assholes. Of course bigotry, ethnocentricity, xenophobia, discrimination against minorities, and racism exists in China, as they do everywhere. But the difference is that the PRC is ruled by a resolutely anti-racist communist party. After victory, the Communist Party reversed the Han-chauvinist policies of the Nationalist Party which ordained that anyone living within national borders should be assimilated to Han culture. How ever, because Han chauvinist and prejudiced attitudes still exist, as well as many cases of discrimination, the CPC has implemented anti-chauvinist policies which suppressing Han-supremacy, protect ethnic minority cultures and identities, and promotes the economic empowerment of minorities. These are so comprehensive and far-reaching that affirmative action policies in the West are trifling in comparison: — Ethnic minorities have always been exempt from the “1-Child” policy, which was only applied to the ethnic majority of Han people. This is the major reason for Uyghur population having grown at a pace 12 X faster than that of Han in the past 70 years. — Local governments of ethnic minority regions are all headed by members of the ethnic minority group, without exception. — Free elementary, middle and high-school-level boarding schools and special college-preparatory classes for minority children. — Minority children can get into a university with exam scores 20 to 30 points below the minimum score for Han children. — A separate network of universities exists only for minority students. Similar to HBCUs in the US, but better. — No-interest loans are offered for small minority businesses. — Businesses are officially encouraged to hire minorities. — A comprehensive, bilingual-education program aims at helping minorities learn both their own languages as well as Mandarin. Meanwhile, scholars are creating alphabets for minority languages that had no writing systems to help ensure that these languages do not die. — Han people living in ethnic minority regions are required to learn the minority languages. For example, Han living in Tibet are required to learn Tibetan. 【🇨🇳 壮族 Zhuang ethnic】 Mostly live in the Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region in Southern China.
