I don't hate this novel, but chapter 338 is very weird, like actually pretty weird. It's about '4 African young men' and how they were harassing 2 girls, a member of the crowd says 'This is China. This isn’t a place for your indecency' like what? Another 'blocked the attacks of the Africans' I have no idea why them being African is being mentioned so much, another 'He smiled, revealing his white teeth' ok? afterwards the crowd celebrates when the Africans leave injured, idk something about this chapter is just very weird

LIKEWhat exactly are you talking about, I never said that there couldn’t be molesters that are from Africa, I said the fact that they kept reinforcing that they were African was weird. Also, it’s pretty obvious that they did it because of nationalism or something because of how they portrayed everyone else cheering after they were beat up and the constant use of African. I have no clue what the purpose of you saying what you said is. Also, if they were saying Asian or Caucasian it would still be weird lol, the fact that they said African wasn’t the problem, the problem was that it kept being repeated, portraying them as the bad guys and their country as the heros.
Although 6 months reply. I think authour had to some sort of racism/nationalism to get around the CCP laws. probably since he said china and then it got white eagle nation etc. maybe got a email from CCP.
Ah that actually makes a lot of sense then, I’ve noticed this kind of thing in a lot of novels and have always wondered why. Thanks for letting me know 👍🏾
I doubt the author was forced to involve racism, nationalism could have been a possibility, but racism against black people is rampant in China. Like the is that one detergent ad, in which a black person gets shoved into a washing machine and gets washes "clean" into a chinese person. There is also a trend of chinese people going to Africa and giving black people money to film them saying "I am inferior, black people are inferior, chinese are the master race." in chinese, without them actually knowing what they are saying. China also has "reeducation" camps in which they stuff the members of their muslim minority. You can imagine them like the camps german people stuffed Jews into, just without the gas. So no outright genocide, but still high casuality rate.
Edit: I've also encountered chinese authors expressively saying they would like to commit genocide against every person not chinese in their novel.
But do Chinese also forgot they are also at the receiving end of it. Are Chinese not racially discriminated against in America and Some European countries? While they also face racism in other countries they are also being racist to other race it's like an unending cycle of racism when the oppressor are also oppressing others they think is lesser than them
another weird thing to add, in chapter 600ish onward/internasional talent competition or smth, no country named Africa being mention, but author somehow used nicknames.White Eagle Country for USALarge Eagle Country for UKBoar Country for Russia Neon Country for Japan...? perhaps etc etc it's like after that 'Africa incident' author face backlash and force to change when pointing country name. author can't even make up his/her mind how to call his/her own country, he/she use Xia and China interchangeably
