A friend of mine moved to China several years back and while he tries not to complain, what does get through is kind of appalling. He said it took him over a year before he could find a moisturizer that didn't leave white streaks on his skin because all the moisturizers he could find contain skin lightening ingredients. And how everyone thinks he is a thug, because he is the only black person they have ever seen outside of the movies, and movies by both black and white screenwriters tend to present black men as thugs.
... really, there's nobody who isn't indicted by that last sentence.
