re: 'Star Wars: The Force Awakens' China poster 'racist'

Apparently white people are "prestigious" in Chinese society. There was an episode of Vice a while back showing white people who had jobs in China basically to just be white. They hired a white guy to pretend he was a doctor for the opening of a new medical clinic - he just had to walk around and take pictures and give a speech that no one understood anyway. It was pretty amazing.
