It has been observed that writing and terminology approximately racism, including about Afrophobia, has been somewhat centered on the US. In 2016, "Afrophobia" has been used as a term for racism against darker-skinned persons in China. In such usage, that is an inexact term because the racism is directed against darker-skinned persons from anywhere, without regard to any connective to Africa. Conversely, Chinese views for lighter-than-average skin are more positive, as is reflected in advertising.
