Why aren't there reactions to this..?
We do it all the time, maybe the Chinese have taken it to another level,(physically blocking blacks), but we also block other tribes(bila any other reason besides the tribe) albeit in our minds at the debe.
Its shameless hypocrisy..
This is not the same thing. Like its common in Europe and USA where they created two different laws, racism and antisemitism . I say its very easy to differentiate btwn a black from an Arab and a white but for a white , its very difficult to differentiate btwn a xstian and a jew just by their looks.
This is the same way when the chnao sees a black guy at the entrance , he says No and when he sees a white its Yes.But there are so many Kiuks who are dark like say an Onyango ama kipketer and some Onyangos and Kipketers are lighter than Kamaus. Mostly where difference comes in apart from language of course.
@Kiash,
The two are similar in very many ways, just the extend or extremes vary (consider racism, tribalism, nepotism etc)
We are here bashing the Chinese for blocking blacks, yet we block other people at the debe, because their names have betrayed them, even if we know that they can offer better services than our so called kinsmen.
I am not supporting the Chinese, but just saying lets change our own minds first( end tribalism etc) then we will have the moral and 'patriotic authority' to bash the Chinese.
I am of course offended as a Kenyan by what the Chinese are allegedly doing, but we have bigger problems, especially that we do them to our fellow kenyans, black like us...
