Shanghai Black Girl Lou Jing
September 1st, 2009 by Key | Posted in Life Style, News | 193 Comments »Participating in the competition reality show “Let’s Go! Oriental Angels” (加油！东方天使) on Dragon TV, Lou Jing (娄婧) recently became popular on the Chinese internet because of the brutal comments and attacks online over her ethnic background and her skin color.
Lou Jing and her mother showed up on the “Let’s Go! Oriental Angels” program and told the viewers their story. After Lou Jing’s mother was married, she had sex with a black man. The black man returned back to the United States, left Lou Jing’s mother pregnant with her. After Lou Jing was born, mother divorced the original husband, alone raising this special girl. Lou Jing also expressed that the person she loves the most in her whole life is her mother. Because of Lou Jing’s birth story, soon after she and her mother were viciously insulted by the netizens all over the country.
Ever since Lou Jing made it to the top five in Shanghai district of the competition, Netizens never stopped debating over her, as she further advanced in the competition, netizens’ voices were more and more extreme. As early as August 10th a netizen named “宅男爸爸” wrote a post with the title “Posting a boring post, is it possible Lou Jing’s father is Obama?” on KDS. In this post, he endlessly mocked, made fun of Lou Jing. Soon after, more and more netizens jumped on the bandwagon of “cursing Lou Jing”. (This post is now deleted)
On August 28th, netizens’ debate over Lou Jing’s controversy grew more intensely. A netizen named “朕爱天下” posted a post with the title “Lou Jing’s American Black Father and Shanghai Mother”, attracted over 100,000 views. Many netizens viciously insulted Lou Jing’s mother in the post comments, of course others were outraged by the racist and ignorant comments, fighting back to protect Lou Jing and her mother. Below is the translation of this post and selected comments.
After Lou Jing’s mother was married, she had sexual relation with a black man. The black man went back to the United States, leaving Lou Jing’s mother with the unborn child. After Lou Jing was born, her mother got a divorce. But Lou Jing’s story did not end with her performance; her black skin became everyone’s focus. Lou Jing and her mother for the first time publicly responded to this sensitive topic. Lou Jing’s mother is from Shanghai, father is a black American. Later his father left them and never returned. Lou Jing at a young age lived in a single parent family without a father. Lou Jing is a lovely and well-behaved mother’s girl. She is always optimistic and has a positive attitude towards other’s questionable looks. Lou Jing grew up with ups and downs missing her father’s love, but was never lack of family love. Even though Lou Jing was strong, when facing her mother on stage, she shed tears of both happiness and bitterness. “Whatever dad could have taught me, mom already taught me, and she taught me better.” Tears of both happiness and bitterness are the warmth between mother and daughter and the hardships of their lives. And only they can understand each other.
Host Dai Jun (戴军) was touched by Jing Lou’s optimism. When he learned Lou Jing has the wish of finding her father, he encouraged her to look for her father, to find the missing fatherly love in her life. The headmaster of the program Chen Rong (陈蓉) also at the scene called for everybody to help her to make her dream come true.
This show not only had excellent performance, but also told the unforgettable story. “Chocolate” girl Lou Jing’s skin color lets people mistaken her for a foreigner. In fact, she is an outright Shanghai girl, and she speaks fluent Shanghai dialect. On the stage, studying under “the Yue Prince” Zhao Zhigang (赵志刚), Jing Lou sang a classic Shanghai opera piece (a famous sense from the novel “Dream of the Red Chamber”). Teacher Zhao carefully prepared her before the competition, also confidently vowed “ I must teach her well.” The strict master produced outstanding student, Lou Jing defeated Dang Tian (唐甜), the girl from Xian going to the finals. Lou Jing not only has great talent, but also has the looks of a model. Her fashion shoot by “Mina” magazine was appraised as “the best of in class of Shanghai”.

Shanghai people’s value plunges.
A bastard, brought her out to show off because of the foreigner descent.
The girl is ok, her mom is a whore, married and still mess around with black guy, maybe it’s the great “love”, it’s a pity the black guy was just playing her, Chinese girls please have some self-respect.
Her mother still has the face to go on stage, she is shameless, and this kind of thing is definitely scandals you should keep in the family. She still dares to go on stage, maybe she does not feel ashamed, instead feels proud.
Is this the legend of the bastard? And an unwanted bastard, Her mother is a shameless woman, pregnant by a black guy, and then abandoned, was it good when he was pleasing you? Still obsessed with him after several decades? Not feel ashamed, even go on TV to look, looking for what? Looking for lost big XX? Looking for climax never had again? Shameless! Why are Shanghai women always the target of criticism? It’s because of shameless bitch like her!
Dragon TV please help this bastard find her family. Let the black father with a big XX hurry back, address this old woman’s needs!
Black Dad, come back soon! Someone cannot forget your big XX.
This woman has no sense of shame, married and you cheat, give birth to a black kid so there is no way to hide, if wasn’t for that her husband will have to raise their children. Cheap is the word, in order to run with a foreigner, even do with black people.
There are countless comments like above with only a few neutral comments, but mainly saying it’s not the girls fault…
Why all people in here are like this? What kind of world is this!!!!
Her mother, I don’t know. But everyone is discriminate against blacks? If her father is white, what will you say then?
People, please be kind, girl herself is not wrong. Why can’t she go on TV? F* that, I cannot help but to curse. I think even she is a little dark, but very cute~
You guys are a group of twisted people.

Before insulting the mother or the daughter get a DNA test to make sure you are the son or
daughter of your so called father.
Colour does not mean we are the biological son or daughter.
Ignorance, hatress that’s all about for those who disrespect this family.
Thanks to the people who bring this case in public. As we see more & more some settling around the world, this case can help us to understand how we could be treated if we were to live with them.
see her finger holding that mike? it means fuck you to all you shit head! its you people who makes this world worst.. you racist! mga putang ina nyo puro naman kayo bobo! the world is not yours to keep if you can’t deal with that better kill your self, save us a whole lot of better place to live at..
Lou Jing,
You are very pretty and some are jealous of you,You are very special girl.
Yes you will make your dreams come true.
We all human and we sometimes do mistakes but you being born dark is beatiful.
I love you Lou Jing.
I first saw this story on CNN, and my first reaction was, WOW, Lou Jing is such a beautiful girl. She would fit in perfectly here in America. She seems like a very nice person. I don’t understand the controversy over her ethnicity or skin color. Most African Americans have European blood too, so Lou Jing may also be part European – for what it’s worth. Racial purity is a myth. If you go back far enough, we’re all from the same place. Lou Jing is such a nice, beautiful girl. She doesn’t deserve these kinds of ignorant, rude comments. Shame on you people.
IF WE LEAVE SOMEBODY BEHIND FOR SOMETHING AS RIDICULOUS AS SKIN COLOUR, WE ALL LOSE, SO YOU CHINESE WILL ALL LOSE SUCH A TALENT/GIFT WHEN COMES TO WORLD CONTEST OF WHAT LOU JING KNOWS BEST TO DO. IF YOU TRY TO LEAVE HER BEHIND.COS SHE IS THE BEST AMONG UR NON-INTELLECTUAL SO CALLED SHORTIES, MIDGETS BIOLOGICAL KIDS OF YOURS.
THE STUPIDEST THING ABOUT RACISM IS HATING SOMEONE FOR SOMETHING THEY HAD NO CHOICE OVER LIKE THEIR COLOUR.
Similar to what georges said, but i will advice Chinese that, Before insulting the mother or the daughter, First approach your mother with a Sharp Long Cutlass to show you who is your real SHORT DOGGY Biological Father to make sure you are the Real son or daughter of your so called f*** father.. Cos most of you Chinese has skeleton in ur cupboard…
Listen people!
God loves this little girl and her Mama! Don’t be HATERS! Be LOVERS of God. Be LOVERS of yourselves and be LOVERS of others. Hatred will only eat YOU up inside. This little girl is beautiful because God made her. God made ALL of the colors of people on this planet and ALL of the colors came out of HIM. It was HIS idea to make all the people of the earth in the colors He wanted to make them and place them here on this planet. So the HATE people of different colors is to HATE God’s ideas–to HATE what He did–to slap HIM in the face! And I wouldn’t want to have anything to do with that if I were you.
(Lou Jing:)
God loves you and your Mama! Even if your mom made a mistake several years ago in having an adulterous relationship outside of her marriage, God can forgive her of that. God forgives all those of sin that ask His forgiveness. There is nothing WRONG with having sex with a black person. There is nothing WRONG with being black. People are people! Lou Jing you are a beautiful Black and Chinese girl and there is absolutely nothing wrong with you.
People out there–CUT OUT THE IMMATURITY AND DRAMA! STOP HATING AND LOVE SOMEBODY!
This girl really has model-quality looks. Even though I’m Chinese, I still find her really attractive. What her mother did or didn’t do is her mother’s business, not the girl’s. It just shows how all countries are racist…not just the USA. However don’t let the rotten apples spoil this girl. Someone should seize the opportunity and represent her before a modeling agency finds this rare lady.
This is amazing. We are welcoming the chinese into my country (where we are predominantly black) and to discover that there are chinese who are prejudiced against black people. What I can’t figure out is when did this happen. Chinese have not really had any exposure to people of African decent.

Dear Lou Jing
When I first saw you in the Canadian Asian news, your voice is somewhat attractive me in a powerful way. It is such an unimaginable screen of a beautiful black-Chinese Shanghanese girl who capable of singing Mandarin songs. After the brief show, I looked for further detail of you through google as well as CNN website. I m so profoundly apologized of those countless comments of you… (it is really hurt me, when imagining myself in your shoes) the definition of you is not what it means on those negative comments. You’re an amazing angel that God has created and placed you in an incredible environment. To those people who are being so mean to you, here is my phase to share with you “if they are mad, they’re loser.” Keep up your dream! You’re an extreme and extreme special person. God love you and love most of us for no matter what. So BE YOURSELF, sing all the time and praise to the lord as well as cheer up your soul.
1st off, I am Chinese and shame on those ignorant Chinese!! Those Chinese who are hating on Lou Jing are the result of them having a mental complex and it’s called “white washed throughout the generations”. It’s all over the world! For example, they are taught that the fairer the skin then the more beautiful right? Y do U think so many Asian woman wear umbrellas in the sun? The opposite side of this effect is seeing the average European wanting to tan.. Ironic is it? My point is, darker skin is always discriminated against in most westernized parts of the world, or parts of the world that are no longer mainly indigenous.
Research the Shang Dynasty, one of if not the first Dynasties in China and they were indigenously Black People. Buddha was a blackman. A matter of fact, just look on the paintings in the Shaolin temple. Chinese people wake up and travel, take a look around, cuz if U were in America back before the 60’s, U was considered a negro just like anyone else who’s not white. Even if U go to South Africa right now, U are considered black my friend. Black and Yellow are one in the same, we have more similarities then we have differences so let’s unite like China and African Nations are doin right now for the Oil and Agriculture and Make this world a better place so are youths can be free from all this negativity.
The Truth hurts
I am Asiatic from the West coast of Ghana to the Far East coast of China!!!
PEACE
From the Yellowman 100% Chinese with high concentrations of melanin

THERE IS A SONG ABOUT YOU FROM 20 YEARS AGO DO NO NOT BOW DOWN TO ANY BUT GOD
If you ask local shanghainese in Manadarin, their honest thoughts, they will tell you 2 things:
1)Mixed race children are fine as long as their skin is white or high yellow – yes, this is racism, but also chinese reality of believing that white signifies cleanliness (instead of manual labor on farm) and upward mobility. Education, height, and family background also play a large role and all make up Chinese perception of Mr/Mrs. right.
2) Children out of wedlock is frowned upon as lacking in Chinese traditional confucius values of being in harmony with family, community, and nature. “Loss of face” results as you try to explain your family background, etc.. (again part of confucius culture).
You mix the above 2 together in a national spotlight and you will get your teaching opportunity for sure!
Yes, I always argue that USA is more advanced (Fada Guojia) because we can feel confident and advanced enough to look beyond race alone, rather substance (words, actions, examples), but remember China is now just emerging and still has limited access to what happens in rest of world culture(you tube, facebook, etc.. all shutdown), so it will take time to both change overall perception and for this reasoning to make sense.
Think about it, how long did it take the USA to change our views on race and are we now perfect?
In the end, Luo Jing is an attractive, smart girl. Hopefully she will treat this as a learning experience. Yes, her mother made a mistake, but should be commended for raising her daughter in a positive and nurtuting environment!
Luo Jing, Go forward with strength, not weakness, think international (beyond China) as you have potential to be an example in your Chinese homeland what it means to be a proud Chinese in the 21st century!
Hi
I am David a White American working in Shanghai from US company, as my experience living in Shanghai as a white guy its really like a king for the shanghai Chinese girls doesn’t matter what age it is, whenever I want I can sleep with the girls every other night. Now I would like to give some comments on Lou Jings situation:
This comments from my five years experience in China:
a) Chinese are not upto that stage to bring racism, as Chinese are still not as beautiful as international standard because of their long body short legs and flat face structure.
b) Chinese Man specially the most ugliest man even in the world so they should not criticize others.
c) This situation to Lou Jings tells that Chinese still very much uncivilized far behind from modernization in their characters, as we even see in our daily life that people doesn’t know yet what call decency even in street, or in shopping mall or even supper market, this people are still uncultured and illiterate, so how we expect they will behave like a good citizen to respect Lou Jings talent.
d) Chinese are the most opportunist in the world when they were under white rule they clamed as yellow not black , when they are under black rule they clam as they are black not white in South Africa – what a shame of this people,
e) Lou Jings is a nice girl even much beautiful then many flat face short legs girls around, and she is not easy to use every other night,
f) Lou Jings father is a black American, remember he is an American not Chinese, even for Black American Chinese are crazy for every other night, so please stop criticizing,
g) Please criticize some one when you see you are standing in strong position , don’t criticize when even you don’t have ball to criticize.
h) Eventually try to learn from West good part of our culture rather giving yourself to us because of we are from west. Lou Jing is nice and beautiful girls she doesn’t deserve to stay in this dirty jangle where civilization is kind of dream.
David, you pathetic troll, keep dreaming about shanghai girls since the closest you’ll ever get to one is in your wet fantasy. I can tell by your very veyr very poor standard of written english that you’re not a white american, english is clearly not even your first language.
Anyway, as a chinese, I will say that if loujing does leave china which highly probable as he is studying a media presenting related subject, then good riddance to a n*gger. If her mother is completely immoral, then her daughter loujing is not going to have great morals either. So hopefully when loujing gets citizenship of the USA, she can take her disgusting mother with her. Two less trash citizens to worry about, the more these trash leave, the easier it will be for CCP to manage the country, I mean if more foreigners come to china, we can always execute them for drug trafficking.
Umm, noniggeroffmyback,
While I agree that David [2009/12/27 at 10:12 pm] is a pathetic troll/deliberate inciter, you are showing your own insecurities and prejudices.
Loujing can’t be blamed/persecuted for her mother’s lack of morality (or good taste, for that matter. Actually, IMO, I am less concerned by her morals/lack thereof, than by the fact that she comes across as a bit of an opportunist – 机会主义者 – and willing to exploit her daughter. Of course, I might be wrong, I don’t know the lady).
Ask yourself:
1) Why are the vast majority of the people insulting Loujing Chinese males?
2) Let’s say Loujing’s father was a Chinese man (married to a Chinese woman during the time of his affair with another woman) and her mother a Black/African/African-American woman, who left the father and daughter soon after giving birth. The father’s Chinese wife subsequently divorces him, and the father raises Loujing as a single parent into the young lady she is today.
Would you feel as much hatred for her as you do now? Would you feel as much hatred/revulsion for Loujing’s father and his being “completely immoral”?
3) Why do so many of the insulting comments directed at Loujing’s mother mention Black/African’s genital equipment (p**is)? Is there something special about it, something different/better from that of Chinese males? And if so, whose fault is that?
I have nothing against this girl. I like this girl. She is hot.
But America is no archetype for racial harmony. I am an Asian American male, and I get so many shit stereotypes. it impedes the way I function, and the way I live. I despise the stereotypes, the gender divide, the Michelle Malkins and Glenn Becks. You promised me an egalitarian society, but you LIED!!!!!!
China may have a more simplistic, racially stratified perception of the world. But it should not adopt the failed experiment we call America.
Fuck the USA BITCHES!!!!! No wonder you got all these young Americans joining the Taliban!!
Look at me, I am a product of the USA. Born and raised. And I hate the racial shit I get with a passion. Now I just want to make this world a little colder.
FUCK THE WEST, WESTERN SOCIETY IS DEFUNCT AND FLAWED. Dont be like the FUcking piece of shit USA fucking evil empire.
God I could go on all day and night about how much the USA sucks. id like to bring a flamethrower to the fucking White House!!!!!!!!!
reading David’s post makes me so mad. Glad I got all these beheading movies handy to sate my bloodlust — my favorite is Jack hensely because he gurgles as his head is getting cut. Ha ha fucking ha.
HOW DO YOU LIKE THAT, DAVID???!!??!
Everyone, go watch Avatar and see what the USA is REALLY LIKE!!!! A WONDERFUL ANALOGY.
Im glad you found enough acceptance in China to proudly proclaim you are Chinese. I was born and raised in America, and all I want to see is it be destroyed from within.
I love to sex English black girls, but I have noticed that not many do porn.
noniggeroffmyback, if the Chinese man that Lou Jing’s mother was married to was any good in bed, none of this would have ever happened. No wonder all you guys are so angry. Anyway, send Lou Jing’s mother over. She is fine, I will give her another Black baby anytime

This is what makes The United States of America the best place on earth, if that same chinie woman had come to the US or any other western country, all of this (CRAP) you all entertain is just a big RACIST act, You are telling me because of her ethnic background she should be treated like this? it just go’s to show how fucked up this world is because if it’s one ethnic group that can go to any part of the world and more so fit in any culture is chinie people NO DOUBT about that, there’s a very strong saying in the bible (WHO WITH OUT SIN CAST THE FIRST STONE) most chinies people will not know this because of there believe in God but most will want to be like MICHAEL JACKSON yes but look at his ethnic background what a FUCKING SHAME
