China promotes White Supremacy?

As someone who has lived in Puerto Rico, and whose mom was born and raised there of immigrants from Mandatory Iraq during WW2, I'd say about 20-30% of people in Puerto Rico consider themselves white.

The CCP promotes Han supremacy; it's literally encoded in the Chinese constitution that the leader has to be a Han and the deputy has to be other ethnicities. I learned about that while debating with a supremacist to justify their ideology and the slogan "[insert race/ethnicity/nationality] for [insert any given place]". That is why lot of white supremacists look to Japan and China, to a certain extent, about keeping "homogeneous" and "native". But white supremacists conveniently ignore that China is ethnically and linguistically diverse even with 90% Han population making up the Chinese demographic, and the Japanese came to Japan later, with Ainus being there first.

What supremacists really mean to say is that "might makes right. We may have actually come later to the land, but we displaced the original settlers by force. We ain't gonna let others do the same to us." I'm kinda glad I am born South East Asian, there is relative harmony among different groups.

Can you actually quite their constitution for me?

[–] TankovayaDiviziya@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

It's been a long time and I can't find the source now, although I distinctly remember reading the part of the constitution while debating with the said supremacist. I admit, either it may have been the party's constitution or China's constitution itself.

White supremacy probably not but racial supremacy is 100% true.

here's a scholarly book examining how Han-centric views and narratives shape China's government

This is literally US government propaganda.

China is 70% or more Han, you can imagine they have a similar issue with their ethnic minorities but far more direct and unhidden.

[–] hamid@crazypeople.online 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Your assertion isn't evidence

[–] KuroiKaze@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

Start by familiarizing yourself with this https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethnic_minorities_in_China

The Uyghur genocide is widely reported on.
Also I did make a mistake China is 90% Han.

There is no freedom of press within China so you'll not see nearly as detailed coverage with official numbers as you will with other countries.
