Hong Kong how ever people characterise this place as East meets West is still a racially homogeneous society basically just China on an alternate path.
Years ago in a former HK company when HR couldn’t find an exec assistant candidate with good English skills I proposed why not look for a South Asian? She looked at me like I just swallowed a live cockroach.

I think when you have a society that is so self centered they will not hold the door for the person right behind them its highly unlikely there will ever be any real advancement for ethnic minorities. Same with mocking and making fun of low wage earners in the city when it is they who get up each day and do the work many scoff at. The empathy is just not there IMO.
I’m a black American, in HK I haven’t really experienced racism, just ignorance here and there but most people seem to busy to care. They seem racist towards mainland people in my opinion. The worse thing that happens to me is people attempt to try in avoid assisting me at some shops (May be because of their lack of English rather than my race). I’ve only experienced true racism in Shenzhen.
First of all, I am sorry to those who has experience racism in HK.
I do believe racism existing in HK or Mainland but they normally don't say anything.
I hope this doesn't scare away foreigners.
