Perception is everything. If I explained the reasons why UK attitiutes / perceptions differ towards "ethnic groups" I would be blasted as a racist, (which I'm not).
A visit to parts of Radjistan will show that the Indian history of culture and intellect can match (or even exceed) that of the Chinese but perception is that the Chinese were in every way a superior "race". (Indian astonomy was already highly developed when the English were just a bunch of feudal peasants.)
I personally believe in valuing people for who they are, regardless of ethnic origins.
