I am really sorry that happened to you, man. While I'm not Chinese, I am Asian American. This one night while walking back from my car to my apartment after leaving work there were these two guys walking directly behind me. It was literally the first time I ever thought I could be attacked because of my ethnicity. Nothing happened, but it was kind of an unsettling realization.

Keep in mind that you have about as much chance of changing my mind as I do of changing yours.
Sadly, I think you are correct, it isn't (currently) in human nature.
My ideal distant future is something akin to Star Trek (not the current edgy dystopian garbage but the TNG-early DS9 Era) in which Humanity has evolved: no one cares about superficial differences, poverty is extinct, and everyone is free to reach their full potential, oh, and we are exploring the stars (can't forget that). All we need is basic matter replication technology and we are set.

"So you've come to the end now alive but dead inside."
Kind of amazing that a Marvel movie teaser would instantly lead to a mature discussion of geo-politics. I wonder what Castle would think about that, compared to all those exquisitely made DC films.
I did not want to bring this up but you're correct. Many East Asians have historically been very racist against dark-skinned people especially Africans and many still are behind closed doors I can attest (regarding Japan, China, and South Korea to a lesser degree anyway). The physical appearance of characters such as Mr. Popo from Dragon Ball doesn't happen by accident.
