YouTube channel Asian Bosshit the streets of Shanghai to find out what Chinese people think of white people, with some interesting results. The channel, which has more than 774,000 subscribers, interviewed locals about their general impression of white people and their perception of white people’s standing in the local job market and their appearance.

One man interviewed described white people as having “good manners”, while a woman said she originally thought Caucasians to be “nonchalant”, but later found them to be “very caring and sincere”.
