I hate the chinese. It's wierd like, cause i don't hate-hate them but I cannot tolerate them more than any other group of people... I just find them annoying. And Im not a racist... not more than your average person is anyway. The Japanese don't irk me and korean's are cool but the chinese just irritate me. Maybe it's the sound of the language. I dunno.

Its time the world stopped tolerating the arrogant greed of the Chinese. For the most part, their success in business transactions comes from selling goods that only APPEAR to be the product/service they claim to be. Everything they make and sell is a copy...merely a movie prop look-alike of what the product is actually supposed to be. Why do we tolerate that from Chinese, but not of Europeans? If a European sold a lousy car to America (Yugo for example), Americans would call it like it is: a piece of crap. When the Chinese sell us a piece of crap, we excuse it with "well, thats why it was so cheap".
You know, if we don't value the standards in this country that our forefathers fought so hard for, the Chinese will gladly continue to erode those standards FOR us (including the standard of living and life itself) by way of flooding our country with not only inferior products, but potentially dangerous ones at that.
Oh, and don't dare confront a Chinese person about any fault of theirs, else be witness to the "saving face" maneuver. Folks, saving face for one's self is merely another term for 'passing blame' or 'not accepting responsibility for ones actions'. Its a deceitful, unfair, and dishonest practice. Caucasians get fired in American corporations for not accepting responsibility for their mistakes, whereas Chinese make up an excuse, and then we promote them for it. Well done America!
If you study the old cultures of all people on Earth you'll find that saving face is a universal trait. However, we've lost our understanding of why/how it is to be used. It was never meant that you save your own face, but that you not initiate the loss of face for others. THAT politeness is universal, and is what is at the root of the Chinese tradition of saving face. Except that today's Chinese use the cultural reference as an excuse to make excuses for themselves. Lying is wrong people.
Oh, job well done to all the marketing types who make sure that every ad we see features an Asian person in it, despite this practice being demographically disproportionate, racist in and of itself, and just plain 'politically incorrect'.
I'm amazed that Europeans haven't come down hard on the TV commercials that feature a Chinese girl with totally blond hair saying 'ya' as if she were Swedish. Isn't _THAT_ racist? Wouldn't the Asian population have a total fit if Caucasians were to tape their eyes back and go around saying 'ah so'? Of course, and rightfully so. Fashion is one thing, but if you push it to the point where it becomes a racial slur, then you'd better not be surprised if someone makes a racist remark back at you.
re teen_advisor/defetedgirl, those remarks are just pointless and unnecessary.
wokstar, you are a perfect example. you are creating a bigger problem rather than working towards a solution. And if you think you "will" become the next super power, well that's where you are wrong! If people think that America is the world super power, they need to really look at China and realize that China is in the strongest military position of all the world. A great Soviet military leader once said "quantity has a quality all of its own". The Chinese may not have very good quality of weaponry, but they have so much that they'd not likely be defeated. Fyi people: China painted a US military satellite with a laser used to guide missiles on the very day Bush's advisor's were to deliver an annual security briefing. That's an act of war. AND, they later used a missile to destroy one of their own satellites, not only demonstrating their ability to cripple US military communication, but also recklessly endangering international space missions by creating a dangerous amount of debris. China should be ashamed of itself.
Furthermore wokstar, if you think the Chinese "will" take over the world, you are wrong again. Does anyone know of any group of people who have both immigrated to as much of the rest of the world and at the same time refused to embrace the culture of their new homeland? Remember that we are a melting pot, my fellow Americans! If someone moves into your neighborhood, doesn't like it, then tries to change it, what would you say? Probably something to the effect of "if you don't like it, then leave!" or "if you don't like it, why'd you come in the first place?"
svendar, yes, you notice how in the definition of racism it mentions that feeling of superiority? If you really get to know people, you'll find that indeed, the Chinese demonstrate that more than any other demographic. Why am I not allowed to be offended by that without being called a racist myself? I'll tell you why, because according to the definition of racism, every human would need to be labeled a racist. Its for that reason that referencing the definition isn't useful. What would be useful is if we could use the term without a derogatory implication. For example, if we were having a discussion, and a person said something that was deemed racist, it would be useful if we could say "there seems to be an issue of racism in this topic" then discuss it to find what the real root of the problem was, such as in my case where I point out that business practices are unfair.
I'm a person that wants to love everyone for whomever they are. Is it racist to ask that THEY not hate ME?
Do be careful, once you let too many of them into your country, soon they'll take over - just look what they are doing in South East Asia! Blatant disregard of the local culture. You will find a 3rd generation chinese having a hard time speaking the national language. They have their own chinese speaking schools , demands this and that while they look down on the native culture. So you are perfectly normal only you dont know it... yet.
Why are we hated so much, well i am kinda use to it for 6 years in a row i been spoon feed racism now i just try to look at the bright side of it. imagine how you would feel from being taunted everyday, yes our eyes are smaller than usual but do we tease your race? if your leb do i call you hairy fool or if your italian do i tell you to go get meatballs? no i seriously do not get how racism is funny.
cuz its not.
and so does jojo
Chinese people are not perfect; we have a LONG way to go. Until Chinese people are able to become properly educated and gone overseas for more education, Chinese people will still be perceived in your eyes as racist, arrogrant, greedy and various negative traits. Every ethnic group as problems, you like to focus on China eh? Chinese will be a world power, its inevitable. I cannot wait until that happens and see how you will react to it. You cannot avoid Chinese people on this earth, to live with so much hate its just sad man. My dad is pro traditional Chinese and he even understands taht Chinese people can often taint a bad image of themselves for Westerners; spitting on the ground, hella bad driving, etc.
Sorry to offend so many Chinese, however, from my experience, I feel that China is simply culturally inferior to most Western countries. Please don't go hurling that "well nobody's perfect" line of argument towards me. I didn't say the West was perfect or even close to it, all I am saying is that Chinese culture is much more 'less perfect' than Western culture. Here is why:
1. People are just crazy-selfish and have absolutely no sense of 'the greater good'. They are only looking out for 'me and mine', the rest can go f*ck themselves. This attitude is most evident with the plethora of product-safety scandals that have rocked the country. The latest being melamine milk that's killing babies and giving many of them kidney stones. In this instance it was 100% clear that these milk suppliers were *purposely* providing tainted milk so they could water it down and still pass the test for high protein levels. Pure evil, IMO.
This is what drives the culture of corruption so evident here. For another example, just take a look at all the disproportionate number of schools that collapsed during the Sichuan earthquakes. This is because building inspectors accepted bribes from greedy contractors instead of doing their job. The result, your child is dead.
2. Purposely vague, dodge responsability. Most Chinese I interact with who haven't had a Western education or who are not my direct reports tend to dodge responsability. It is a task trying to get a straightforward clear answer from people. This is *not* a language issue as I am fairly fluent in Mandarin, and this also happens with people who are fairly fluent in English. People here just don't want to be held accountable for their (in)actions.
3. Blind adherence to authority. Absolutely no questioning or criticism of anyone higher in the authority chain. This is in line with their top-down, Oligarchical style of government. This also affects Chinese corporate culture and makes for very inefficient or just plain wrong internal management. People just don't feel free to bring up points of conflict or challenge anyone higher up in the company. I just don't see how China will ever be a leader in innovation if the culture remains this way. This is also how the Chinese family is run. What the eldermost male in the family says, goes, no ifs ands or buts. If you don't like you, you will be excommunicated from the family. Everything if made a 'Family Decision', including who you marry and what job you do for the rest of your life. Some people say Chinese families are very strong, and they are, I envy their solidarity, however there is a huge down side to this unity.
4. Absolute disregard for their environment and those around them. This is the reason for all the spitting, p*ssing and indeed sh*tting (I've actually witnessed this) whereever they want. It's absolutely revolting and I can't even comprehend how human beings, no matter how uneducated, can do this. I have seen people encourage their children to urinate on the floor right next to the table they are eating at instead of bringing them to the bathroom. I have seen someone in broad daylight on a busy street in front of a convenience store squat and take a dump. I mean, even domesticated animals know not to do this!
Also the point about driving is true. Chinese, for some reason, all over the world, in their home country or not, drive like absolute maniacs. People have zero regard for basic traffic safety regulations or other people who are on the road. They also incessantly honk their horns at everything and often even at nothing. I am constantly being shocked by people honking their f*cking horns, it makes me crazy it does.
5. Arrogance and naivety. People here are so brainwashed by the government and are shielded from a lot of the negative stories that would have been broadcast about domestic issues. The result is that people rarely critisize the government and have this fantastic idea that Chinese people are somehow fundamentally more morally-sound than foreigners. If a Chinese hears about a violent rape or murder or some such evil crime happening in the West, they will say "Oh yes, foreigners are this way." and asked if Chinese do the same things say "No, Chinese wouldn't do such a thing." Also about political issues people just can't accept reality. They all consider Taiwan a part of China, despite the fact that Beijing has not a shred of control over the island. Don't even try to argue with them about it, they don't value logic and reason as useful for arriving at the truth.
Wow that was a lot, glad I finally got it off my chest... btw, I could make another list about American's if you want (primarily those that live in the 'red' states). It's not that I am anti-Chinese, I'm just calling it like I see it.
'Throughout the modern history of China, we have NEVER invaded any country, unlike the United States.'
Ummm? Really? Like Tibet for example? No? My mistake, I could have sworn that Tibet thought it was a different country before China occupied and ravaged it.
Hmm yea I hate them too :-)
so its normal.
I am sorry, for you.
You ppl drive me nuts!
Driving. also from foreign devil, i think u mean people on the MAINLAND. Not to be racist or anything, but the cantonese are a little bit more.. polite? in hong kong, people drive really well!
P>S. idont hate caucasians. The only thing is, sometimes, i find them a bit vain/ selfish. EG. caucasians run away from paying the tab, or at least want others to pay. Chinese, out of respect, pay for u. we kinda fight for the tab. kinda weird to me still tho. XP. so yea. chinese were brought up to be humble..
When there's some problem,most stuff would offer a reason or explain a condition before he/she answer your inquiry.And the answer would not be a precise one,making you feel like that's totally another kind of logic.
You can also encounter numberous people paying no attention to public in China frequently,most are harmless,but some can make you angry,like you be woke up by a flurry of sudden music from your neigbour,in your dream.And scarcity of order on the roads do have the potential of killings.
I can tell about these kind of things for months,if I have time.I encounter them everyday here.There's rarely the chance they'd make a change if you tell them that what they do makes harm directly to you.
All these give you an idea that Chinese are sefish,unlogical,and senceless of public farewell.I will not blame if someone think so.That's not completely correct acknowledge on some sides of Chinese character,but almost.
As to the cultural level.I think evey culture is an independent system.Especially you can not make judgements on Chinese culture prejudically.Because it's once a long hermit state,and I can say it's the most independent system of all.
some facts here : english man also spit,nobody hates them? americans killed millions of other country people,nobody hates them?white people more selfish,nobody hates them? and you guys hate chinese just because they spit and selfish and driving bad?
so ridiculous and hypocritical.
so chinese should hate u guys just because of this?
u guys comment such kind of bullsh*t,and defend uself "i am not racist"
i have to say u are ,u are not only a racist,but u are a vain,hypocritical and selfish white people
u are dirty,shame on u
The Central Kingdom (%u201CZhong Guo%u201D %u2013 China) will rise above the rest of the world and the Children of the Dragon will once again RULE the planet!!! Muuuuhahahhahahahha.
I've been living and working in mainland China two and a half years. I never really went through culture way back when; I was stuck in 'euphoria stage' for various reasons until recently. Suddenly, it has hit me--BAM--like a ton of bricks. The irritation and exasperation I've been feeling is, I know, perfectly natural. I'm a human being, not a god. I recognize my feelings 100% in what foreign_devil wrote. It's just....it's all true.
I'm educated and observant enough to know full-well *why* it's true, and that it's not true for every single person in the country, but it can just be heartbreaking sometimes to see the effects of a giant cultural 'jump' that skipped 100 years, leaving the majority of its citizens in the past, coping with a nation that should have come a century later. Inevitable, every last shred of it. Every last face-save, and spit, and honk, and illogical conclusion, and stare, and childish nationalist comment, and declaration of, 'I only care about money!...' is inevitable. Don't hate the Chinese people. Start with Mao.
I have chinese friends too but I just cannnot tolerate it when she and her friends sepak in CHIENSE.
They dont realise whey they are being hated by so many people. but they dont.
I am Asian myself too but I just cannnot tolerate CHINESE only. Im sorry to say this but I just can't help it from hating them.
I am a westerner living in China and your comments offend me, let alone any Chinese people reading. Yes the Chinese are different, yes their idea's of what consitutes 'normal' may differ from those of us westerners but that is part of the rich tapestry that makes up the world. During my time here I have met countless happy, friendly, dignified and - surely not - modest, Chinese and most of those in my current home city of Shanghai - widely regarded as the economic, 'money grabbing' capital of China.
It really is sad when people apply such massive generalisations. Just ask yourself what you feel when you are on the receiving end. 'I hate America - warmongering, ignorant, celebrity obsessed, fat, loud ar5eholes'. You, personally, may be none of those and it probably infuriates you that people apply those charecteristics to you, personally, based on interaction with a minute percentage of Americans.
Just stop it - open your minds.
i saw a video on youtube on how they skin live animals for fur. they don't kill them, they are still alive. the step on their heads, hit them, but they don't kill them. i think they are sick and get some sort of pleasure out of hurting innocent animals. they have no compassion, and they remind of the nazi's. i think they would do the same to people. i dont want to buy anything made in china anymore. this will be a challenge
We see stupit people, they're everywhere but they dont know they are stupid and that is what makes them stupid!!
