| Perhaps I could share with you the attraction, attention, curiosity,
entertainment value, social prop and dating aid of being of African
descent and darker-hued in China! Heads turn, jaws drop, eyes widen,
gasps are uttered (yes, I actually heard a gasp-I thought those only
happened in comic books-while at the Administrator's Garden, a tourist
spot in Suzhou). Cameras click, people stop what they are doing, look,
ogle, point, and then move on, smiling and talking, having had a little
distraction from years of seeing only Chinese features and flesh day
after day.
