I'm sure there is.  A foreigner is always a foreigner at first glance.
Despite, typical saying that all asian look the same, with time and
training certain races have different physical features.  it's not accurate
but, but it's passable when ppl have very distinguishable features.

further looking at intra-ethnic racism, in America, with large
concentration of Chinese in various parts of the country, there is plenty
of intra-Chinese racism.

In a country where we are few and sparse, I would say there would be little
racism between the foreig ethnic gorups.

Heya, anybody know the Japanese deragatory word for Chinese ppl?  I just
would just like to know so if someone badmouths me I can badmouth them back.

When you go to a foreign and land and live there, you are expected to
assimilate into ways of that foreign land.
