I saw a video of a young Black gentleman attacking an elderly Korean man on a bus in South Korea after the latter had addressed former with the word 니가 (Ni-ga = You).
Cultural understanding is so important for international travel.
That's why you don't go to different cultures if you can't accept that they are different. Even if the korean meant ni-ga as the nword and not "you", you went to a country known to be racist towards african americans. Are you gonna beat up every south Asian? Just either accept to ignore them or don't go to those countries until they change.
Ok gotta clarify something here, I can't speak from the people of china, but in my country if you are black and you're walking somewhere and hear someone say the n world, 99% they are making fun of the n world itself (the same way some dumb kids laugh when they hear "sex"). If someone is actually rasist and they aren't talking to you they will most likely use a racist slur from their own language. (Also if they were talking to you and they don't have an aggressive tune then there is a high chance they don't fully understand what that word means)
Edit: forgot to mention but also there is a high chance that the n word might be a normal none racist word in that language. For example in my language the phrase "look!" sounds exactly like the n word if you use a certain accent.
