thanks for the history lesson and all but really you skipped the most important part as to why you'd think HK would be more accepting of a half black chinese kid--british occupation. the occupation would also explain HK cinema (and other entertainment businesses and business in general) flourishing since the 1980s... and being the last english stronghold in China granted HK it's special status within communist china when it was finally turned back over. aaaand HK just like Taiwan is where the mainland Chinese who could and wanted to fled.
and it's a sign of american ignorance that one only thinks of east asia as Asia instead of "whatever else"... i mean really India can't even get a tiny bit of recognition? there's over a billion ppl over there too and south asians have Apu on the Simpsons and Gandhi is from there. :P
Mlle d. Sade said:Of course I meant east Asia and not south and whatever else. Because they are the ones you usually hear stuff like this from and they tend to be very vocal about wanting things to be all Chinese or all Japanese.
Hong Kong is only more conservative in the cultural sense, that does not translate to the xenophobia the mainland has. They are only protective of what they have because the mainland is really trying to stamp their individualism/culture out. Their culture is an old hold out and unique from the north's since they are the descendants of the people "captured" by the Mongols. They were made to shave the front part of their heads and braid the back to symbolize how they'd been captured like horses. This prejudice from the days of Genghis Khan still exists between north and south (which is why they pointed out her shanghai-ese.). They are the "old" chinese, their languages, even their movies (China's most famous exports got their start in Hong Kong and are mostly all southern and the mainland wants a piece of that or else) since HK movies are a symbol of their triumph over mainland oppression. The reason I was saying Hong kong would be more accepting because HK and the port lands like Macau and Guangdong have a longer history of being a multi-racial hub especially after being in control of various other european countries, they are less homogeneous than other parts of China. A lot of peoples have passed through their ports. Particularly in the 80s a lot of their household names in entertainment were multiracial or just not Chinese. They're traditionalists in the sense that they feel they need to protect themselves from the mainland government trying to erase the last of the Hans. Which they are actively doing. It's like ethnic cleansing and HK is a symbol of the resistance to that. The reason Hong Kong movies exist in the first place was to escape persecution. It's a stretch but a thought I had. Even now Canto pop has more non-Chinese (but still other asian ethnicities) singers than the mainland.

Afro-punk is a platform for the other Black experience, the one we don't see in our media. D.I.Y (Do It Yourself) is the foundation.
