yup, pretty dead on.
Figured as much, I need to stop listening (subconsciously or otherwise) to cacs.

I'd like to elaborate if at all possible.
What I mainly meant by outside of the American (and by extension European, because that's where it all came from) "social sphere of influence" is that of the many things inside said sphere, is the American brand of prejudice, a type of prejudice specific to America.
Don't get me wrong, prejudice is to follow you anywhere you go on this world because it goes anywhere humans are...but we all know just how dastardly the singular American brand of prejudice is, especially towards black people (informally or otherwise).
I'm sure China is hostile towards foreigners just like any other place, but I doubt it's the same form of prejudice that we'd face here in America (which is the worst, in my opinion), given what I've read in this thread.
Is there any truth to this or am I assuming wrong?
