What you're basically implying here is that Chinese people are in essence, narrow-minded and dislike other races. You are also saying that because she "had been taught at school" that it was the only societal influence on her life. What about popular culture such as magazines, newspapers, movies? Wouldn't that have influenced her, perhaps, in a more subconscious way?

In China, they have ethnic groups - but they are all asian (to our eyes). There are very few foreigners compared to US, Australia, UK, Canada.
They go to school with Han Chinese. The schooling is provided by the communist party. The media is owned by the communist party. And truly.... in the past the English and some European powers treated the Chinese badly (as did the Japanese).
There is nothing wrong with them as a people for having (to some extent) these views. It's just that this is what they've been taught and what they've experienced. "Political correctness" as understood in the US, UK, Australia, Canada differs from political correctness in the PRC.
