I just have one observation. Despite appearances, I'm not completely convinced that the Chinese farmer and his extended family are racist. In China, some bosses treat their employees just as cruelly. It's not to say that this is okay-- it's just that they sometimes treat their own people that way too. On the other hand, that family could totally be racist.
If you don't have time to watch it, this Economist article is worth a read.

Fascinating stuff. I wasn't aware of the level of chinese presence in Africa.
I couldn't understand half of that chinese/english babble, wonder how the africans seemed to understand it..
@Edvin:
1. There are more Chinese in Africa now than the total number of Europeans who have gone to Africa in the last 400 years.
2. I can barely understand their English. I assume it's not only poor, but is also heavy with the local Zambian dialect.
