We generally only talk about race issues in America.  Apparently reality tv has touched a chord in China as well.

I wonder if the there would have been negative reaction if the girl's skin had not been brown.

China is considerably more ethnically homogeneous than we are in the U.S., so I suppose that the negative response is not surprising, though it is sad.  Reality television…will it ever end?!

Kudos to the young teen for keeping her spirits above it all.
