Chinese Ethnocentrism

During the 2004 Olympics, Renmin Ribao (人民日报), the Chinese Communist Party newspaper, suggested that although Chinese were at a genetic disadvantage vis-a-vis black athletes when it came to track and field, they were suited to sports that required agility and technique, such as gymnastics.

This, according to Richard C. Bush, was one of several indications that Chinese ethnocentrism remained strong.

But I think as far as the Chinese were concerned, it was just calling a spade a spade, politically-incorrect as such straight-talking might be.
