China - The Most Racist Country In The World
La Shawn Barber has a bit up about the racism of global warming. It is no joke. On Tuesday, liberal Congressman James Clyburn spoke at the National Press Club in Washington, D.C., to kick off the Environmental Justice and Climate Change Initiative, sponsored by the Joint Center for Political and Economic Studies. The left-leaning think tank created the Commission to Engage African-Americans on Climate Change to encourage blacks to join the global warming debate.That would make China whose CO2 output now surpasses America's the most racist country in the world.

So we'll assume for the moment that global warming is real and also that it is a bad thing. We'll grant that anything bad that happens will hit harder those less well equipped to adapt; namely, the poor. And we'll grant as obvious that blacks are disproportionately poor. Therefore, anything bad is racist? So now what do we do with that information? It does not contribute to the effort to determine whether humans are causing global warming, which in my opinion is a neceesary precondition to establishing that human behavior can counteract it. And is it really possible, let alone wise, to treat every issue that has an effect on humanity through the racial lens? (If everything bad is racist, then everything good is necessarily...anti-racist? Affirmative Actionist? whatever, you get the idea) tim maguire · August 1, 2008 01:32 PM Reminds me of the old joke about God announcing the end of the word: the headline in the NY Times: "World To End! Women, Minorities Hardest Hit!" William Woody · August 1, 2008 01:59 PM Right, but for the wrong reasons. I had a number of Chinese roommates when I was in grad school. Good roommates.However, mark my words: there are none so ethnocentric as the Han. (Han= ethnic Chinese) When Europeans first came to China, the Chinese thought they were monkeys. How many Politically Correct people are aware of that? Gringo · August 2, 2008 10:56 AM Post a comment

Oh, you have no idea. All AGW silliness aside, the ethnic Chinese (Han) are, as a whole, a profoundly racist lot. Of course, that ethnic minorities get special treatment by their government (such as exemptions from the one child rule) only breeds further resentment.
