And yellow males... and white females, and yellow females, and black males, and black females and... well, you get the idea. It's part of human culture. You want to hear racism tossed casually around, stroll down any street in Najing and see how long until you get complaints about "foreigners", or kids ... Full Comment>>

Aaaaand this is why literal translations are problematic... in Mandarin, middle aged women are called "ayi", which translates to "aunt", or "auntie", if you prefer. When it is translated directly... it sounds like incest. Full Comment>>

I think the issue might be the terms used, and precision of terminology. "Class" here is more like "manners", or "politeness", based on social conventions, rather than morality or ethics. I've met some Chinese from the countryside with what would be considered poor manners (spitting, ... Full Comment>>

So, locals will be out of jobs (shitty jobs, but still a source of some income), and Westerners will be used as props in other to make their masters feel superior with a racist/nationalistic tinge ("You Westerners aren't high and mighty now. I got Westerners serving me, calling me 'Sir', and knowing their ... Full Comment>>

They are a bastion of class as in social hierarchy and stratification. In terms of human decency, politeness, and respect... not so much. Full Comment>>

You mean like they don't already? Full Comment>>

No, that's not what's being said. China has strict gender roles, where men are providers, and women produce and raise children (that part runs into a snag when you only have one child you can produce and raise). Men are expected to generate wealth, and are judged on how much money they have, and what position in ... Full Comment>>

The disclaimer at the front was pretty well-deserved. Chinese men value looks, and Chinese women value wealth and power. Bashing Chinese men for not being handsome is like bashing Chinese women for not being rich. You could flip it around and ask if Chinese women are good enough for Chinese men, since everywhere you ... Full Comment>>

Exactly, except for the part where you don't get it, and are being a racist douche. White, yellow, black, brown... doesn't matter. Wealth + entitlement = this kind of behavior. This is especially when you add a culture where material wealth is worshipped, and where concern for others just isn't a common practice. Full Comment>>

"The flaunting of wealth brings about racial discrimination which leads to dissatisfaction and retribution." Racial discrimination? How is it to do with race at all? They aren't hated because of their race, but because they are entitled douchebags who flout rules, flaunt wealth, and act like the laws don't ... Full Comment>>

The Chinese people seemed pretty good at humiliating themselves. If the nationalistic netizens are so worried about being humiliated, they should be more concerned about the Chinese people tossing garbage on the streets, letting kids pee wherever they please, or the old women dancing in public. Also, love how all ... Full Comment>>

"How he was able to bypass security with a kitchen knife, remains unclear." Because the security wasn't doing its job... not that unclear. Go to any train station and see how they wave you in no matter if the metal detector goes off, all the while the guards are playing on their phones. Full Comment>>

We would hear how Chinese never behave like this, and it's proof that "foreigners" don't obey the laws, unlike the civilized Chinese. Full Comment>>

There is no such thing as "positive discrimination". There is simply discrimination, which I oppose in all cases. When one group is treated better than another group based on skin color or gender, it is wrong, in my opinion. How is it insulting? If it were insulting, whites would not have created special ... Full Comment>>

Since no one is arguing that big words make you cool, that's completely pointless. Also, what false premise? Full Comment>>

Explain how it is different? In both cases, one group of people is given special accommodations, and you come to the conclusions that special accommodations are insulting. They are analogous. If you want to argue that it is different, then back up your claims. No one is saying women are disabled... you're just ... Full Comment>>

How is it making the conclusion that all women are bad at parking? The problem is that this is misandrist by providing a service for women, but not for men, but people really want to believe it's sexist against women, so turn it around into misogyny. The article author made the claim that it was because women are ... Full Comment>>

So the bus seats set aside for white people in the front of the bus, thus easier to get to and from, were really insulting to whites. Makes perfect sense. Full Comment>>

I love how this article tries to spin this as somehow misogynist. I guess "whites only" drinking fountains were really racist against white people, suggesting they weren't as good as blacks at drinking water. Full Comment>>

"Landlords renting to foreigners may be very distrustful, but why shouldn’t they be?" They shouldn't be, since xenophobic racism is a bad thing. Full Comment>>

Stop being so ethnocentric! You think that humans are not animals, and above other animals. To other cultures, all animals are equal, and humans are not above other species (hence why meat eating is abhorrent). To you, the holocaust is totally different from the killing of dogs (or other animals), but to people who ... Full Comment>>

I think the point was that "It's legal, so therefore should be acceptable" is a feeble argument. There is a comparison in that slavery, dog meat, and the Holocaust were all acceptable within the cultures that practiced them, and only horrific outside said cultures. If you want to defend the practice of dog ... Full Comment>>

It can't really sustain itself now. It already made aggressive expansion in the past, and I can see it happening again. I just wonder what country will be "liberated" next, with documents to back up that it was always part of China. Full Comment>>

Can't tell if wu mao, or just really stupid. Full Comment>>

Also useful if you are curious what advice is given to Chinese. Full Comment>>
