Hello,
As an Asian-American, I’ve noticed many double standards with respect to ethnocentrism. Ethnocentrism is considered okey by society if carried out by people who are not of European descent, but is considered unethical if carried out by Europeans. Here are two articles that explain this:
What is Racism?
Everyone talks about “racism” but no one ever defines it. AR’s assistant editor has given it a try.
By Thomas Jackson
There is surely no nation in the world that holds “racism” in greater horror than does the United States. Compared to other kinds of offenses, it is thought to be somehow more reprehensible. The press and public have become so used to tales of murder, rape, robbery, and arson, that any but the most spectacular crimes are shrugged off as part of the inevitable texture of American life. “Racism” is never shrugged off.
For example, when a white Georgetown Law School student reports that black students are less well qualified than white students, it sets off a booming, national controversy about “racism.” If the student had merely murdered someone he would have attracted far less attention and criticism.

Immigration And The Unmentionable Question Of Ethnic Interests
By Kevin MacDonald
Arguments over immigration are usually limited to cultural or economic factors. Political scientists like Samuel Huntington point out that the culture of the country will change dramatically if there is a continued influx of Spanish-speaking immigrants. And economists like George Borjas have demonstrated that large masses of newcomers depress wages and create enormous demands on the environment and on public services, especially health care and education.
These lines of argument are, of course, legitimate. But there always seems to be an element of timidity present. No one wants to talk about the 800-lb. gorilla sitting over there in the corner—the issue of ethnic interests.

That’s horrible! You would think that those people could have sympathized with her instead of insulting her. I hope she had a good response and was able to go on after that episode.
