'Chinese'Phobia in Google

This same piece was shown in Failblog.org ... I had to confirm it by actually trying it.
(You can try it too)

It was a right instinctive thing to do to type "I'm terrified ....." as a beginning search on your google to look for any phobia. Eg."I'm terrified of lightning"

I find that totally bizarre. Are these people fearing people who knows Kung Fu, or terrified at the large population in China; or possibly fearing the pace of their economy growth?

Some kinda ethnophobia i guess.

I would like to emphasize again. I am not part of the people that they are terrified of. I am Malaysian. I eat Nasi Lemak.
hehehehehe.
