Your experience with racism in Taiwan

There are more and more western looking people with Taiwanese passports.

Just curious, but how do you know? I don’t think there are statistics about western looking people having a Taiwanese passport. Unless you have some hard proof it is only an assumption just as my statement before.

I don’t know the stats, but think it is a reasonable assumption. Kids between Taiwanese mother and foreign father now can have passport. I think there are stats on international marriages and their kids, and it may be reasonable to assume they are increasing since ROC in Taiwan was established.
And cumulative number of western-looking people who naturalized must be increasing. Slowly. Many of them may be still alive, I’m assuming.

But the emphasis is on western-looking. From my experience children of a Taiwanese and a western-looking person rarely look like what most people consider “western”. I wouldn’t consider myself western-looking, Taiwanese usually instantly see that I’m mixed. Therefore I don’t see a large increase in this regard.
