BBC has already been blocked in China for years :shrug:

Edit: At least the website has been. Link doesn't work for me but this seems to reference the television service, which I don't think is available either.

This is the BBC World News, their international news show. It was indeed still available as I used to watch it whenever I was in CN. It'd occasionally just go black for minutes at a time whenever the censors decided it was doing a Naughty Thing, such as covering the HK protests. However, it was the only thing I bothered to watch in the hotel as background noise unless some good sport was on.

Once again, Chinese state media’s New Year gala features blackface

https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/2021/02/11/cctv-gala-blackface-chunwan/

This was from 2 years ago: https://www.reuters.com/article/us-lunar-newyear-china-blackface-idUSKCN1G60ZE

At this point I think it's not ignorance any more (since the instance from 2 years ago had backlash for sure). I almost wonder if it's to make a point that China is not gonna bow down to "American Political Correctness". Or maybe no one involved in this whole process (there are MANY people who are involved in this process and many are probably western educated) dares to suggest "maybe we don't do blackface this year" because they'll be called a traitor who bows down to the west.

maybe we should do a podcast episode on anti-african racism in China...

That blackface situation is pretty bad in general globally. I've had arguments with Brits, Australians, and Dutch who argued "blackface is fine here because it doesn't come from a place of mockery and hate like American minstrel shows". Specific incidents I remember offhand:

Harry Connick Jr. was guest judge on an Australian talent show with a blackface act and was furious when he realized what was going on. This was a minor news item at the time. Neither the performers, other judges, or Australian general public seemed to understand what they did wrong. Most Australians seemed to conclude "We see why he was upset, but he should know it just doesn't mean the same thing here".
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q3zGiMm7O64

For decades there has been a debate over whether Zwartie Piet(a popular Dutch blackface character) is racist. Progress has been agonizingly slow, with large amounts of Dutch people insisting to this day that it's a totally wholesome, non-racist tradition.
https://dutchreview.com/culture/zwarte-piet-explainer/

Die Antwoord, a white South African music group with a working class Afrikaans persona released two videos featuring blackface. The optics could hardly be worse but a large amount of people defended them endlessly("she's just trying to look like a panther"). Singer Yo-Landi for her part claimed that she didn't even know what blackface is.
https://slate.com/culture/2012/10/fatty-boom-boom-die-antwoord-video-literal-and-figurative-blackface-video.html

If you compare China to those Dutch or Australian reactions, it's an even lower level of public awareness. Jesus Christ, at least Colgate removed the blackface logo on their racist Chinese toothpaste.

I was in a random thread in CSPAM a couple weeks ago and had an argument with people saying what China is doing to the Uighurs is okay because they're "not literal death camps". I was also called a reactionary for saying genocide is bad, which was pretty lol.

However, the number of people calling them loving idiots far outnumbered the apologists, so that was pretty good to see.

I got dumped on in the freakin Epic Games thread becase I suggested using secretive mass surveillance to assist genocide was worse than US immigration goons triangulating peoples' phones.

I wish your whole family dies, die soon and be reborn soon. Your stupid pig meat head should be sent to africa to use big dicks to gently caress your 逼 mouth. Looks like your mouth as big as a 逼 can insert two big black dicks at once, poke your throat and make you happy.

Your child is born without an rear end in a top hat, crippled legs, even if it lives it's still disabled, won't live to 18. Even though your 逼 is like a basket, it's still moldy and has sores like cheap goods, whoever marries you will also have 800 lifetimes of moldy blood.

a crazy person posted:

gently caress your mother with garlic and onion (?), do you think drinking nine years of white sperm makes you white? You slandering china again can't change that you're chinese, you believe slandering your own country for clickbait to curry favor with whites will raise your status with everyone, stupid 逼. Xinjiang has you smelly 逼 selling bullshit.

It's not 网友 attacking you, you've violated everyone's bottom line, there's no line you won't cross to slander your own country. 网友 speak the truth, you actually do appear smelly. So smelly but you still act like a pretentious 逼 to attract eyeballs is your own mistake.

Translator note: assume it's all peppered with "your mother" which I mostly didn't bother to translate, also I left 逼 intact but it's the australian word. 网友 is wang3you3 (say "waang yo") and literally means "internet friend," it usually gets translated as netizen which I loving hate so I left it too. There's a lot of vocab in here I never encountered before so critique welcome, if you can stomach it.
