Chinese investors in Jamaica saw their hotels burned down after banning black Jamaicans from access, including on a private beach. Only whites ("leucodermes") and Chinese were accepted.
Locals reacted angrily: "You're coming to our place and forbidding us our own land?" The result: fire.
Black people are starting to open their eyes
In Africa the same pattern repeats itself. In Senegal, some white-owned establishments have been accused of applying a similar segregation: "whites only".
The message is clear: Asians (and other foreigners) are increasingly confident in black-majority countries, sometimes imposing racial exclusion rules. However, in Asia, black people often face severe discrimination: scornful looks, difficulty hiring, harassment, negative stereotypes, and limited access to certain spaces.
Zero Reciprocity.
What is happening today reveals a blatant hypocrisy: some foreign investors are behaving in conquered lands in African or Caribbean countries, while the opposite is almost impossible in China, Korea or Japan.
Black people don't ask for privilege, but respect for one another. If you want to do business with us, respect the locals. Otherwise, expect resistance.
Tolerance has limits. The era of silently accepting everything is over.
Maximum clarity: Racial discrimination is unacceptable, regardless of the author — Chinese, White. Arson is not a legal solution, but anger against humiliation is understandable. The real issue is sovereignty: Our countries are not colonies open to all the racial whims of investors.
Time to set clear rules and enforce them.
