Cuz there are some white youtubers that apprantly went to places in China and people said they never saw a white person before…
Like… I’m Chinese American… can I go around and like basically experience what those white youtubers experienced… but like the racial roles swapped…
Like some rural town where I go there and everyone just like… stare at me?
And like I’m just like “howdy, fellow countrymen” awkwardly laughs
(oh yea this is gonna get very awkward when one can obtain US Citizenship and a white guy cannot obtain citizenship of China except under rare circumstances, so like I’m literally one of them legally speaking… not even technically a foreigner…)
Like how awkward would it get?
Just a thought experiment not actually brave enough to attempt this…

Yeah I know y’all are gonna spam ICE jokes in the comments, lets not make this post too doomer and keep it lighthearted… kinda already too depressed…
For anyone interested, this is almost certainly referring to Tip 2 Tip. Ludwig Ahgren and Micheal Reeves ride across China on motorcycles without using their phones (for GPS), maps, or highways. They have a very limited understanding of the language.
Here’s the first episode - https://youtube.com/watch?v=_41P6UrwQKY
They also did a Japanese trip last year or so.
Not likely. Chinese migrants in the USA went everywhere to start various small businesses. It is the reason why there is that Chinese family running two grocery stores in Sinners. Chinese families would be rare, but they would be everywhere.
Your best bet is the rural Mountain West or Appalachia, but even then you’re likely going to find some Chinese people living there.

Not a chance. Every little town in the us has a Chinese food buffet, and if there isn’t one the bigger town over does.
Ooh! I’ve got this one!
I grew up in rural Mississippi and used to work with a guy who admitted to having never seen an Asian person outside of TV or film until he went to college. It was his roommate.
TV made the difference
l guess it is a lot harder in the US, as it was formed by people immigrating from all over the world.
Might be easier in more homogenous populations, e.g. some parts of Europe.
Eg. I live in Germany and was 14 years old when seeing the first black person in real life, a girl from Eritrea whose family had moved to my school district.
Only dark skinned person in a school with 400+ pupils.Asian people are more common in my region, but there are probably many rural areas you would be stared at a lot.
There are parts of Europe, particularly small villages, where all you see are the locals. People from outside usually don’t move in, more like the opposite actually. Kids move out when they want to study something in a big city, and they only return during Christmas. In a place like that, the only foreigners you could find are the Turks who run the local pizza kebab restaurant. If you go to an even smaller town, there are no restaurants at all, so that’s the place where you can probably find people who have never met a black person before.

TÜRKİYE MENŞIND, ASIN BAYRAKLARI ASIIIIN!!! 🇹🇷🇹🇷🇹🇷
Honestly, I’ve been to parts of the US where it was more noticeable when I saw a black person. Some summers I’d only see 2 or 3 people there. Kind of creepy honestly. I’d see more people of asian decent there.
There’s definitely rural areas nobody goes to or leaves where nobody has met an Asian, but they’ll have seen them on TV, it shouldn’t be too shocking.
