"Amy Chua argues in her book Day of Empire that one of the many convoluted reasons empires (even perhaps the US) collapse is from the government cracking down on minority civil liberties" In China, minorities don't have civil liberties. Plenty of average Han Chinese are at their core decent, non-racist and ... Full Comment>>

If they do suck (and if it is a fact), then they are not boring. Sucking can be very exciting, I'd say. After all, you did write it in all caps, and used an exclamation point... that just shows how excited you were. Imagine how others would respond to the sucking. Full Comment>>

What do you mean "foreigners and Chinese"? The Chinese are foreigners... they are in France. The Chinese aren't eternally at the center of the universe... they just often have the mindset that they are. Full Comment>>

Would you rather have the term "foreigner" used? At least "westerner' is a step up in the right direction. It at least acknowledges us as something beyond "one of those" in the eyes of Han Chinese. Full Comment>>

If by that you mean don't be Caucasian, then you're right. If you want real friendship, beyond being that "foreigner" who can possibly provide some benefit, so better to be kept around, then be Han Chinese. Full Comment>>

The "more than anybody else" only applies to non-Chinese. They treat blacks more poorly than whites, but they treat whites more poorly than yellows, at least generally speaking. A white person is far more likely to be singled out and attacked, verbally or physically, cheated, face police harassment, or ... Full Comment>>

Spoken by someone who has no idea what it's like in the USA. In the US, it's illegal to deny salary based on eye color (or other arbitrary feature). It does happen, but the law can be used to stop the practice. In China, it's the norm. Discrimination based on race is open and flagrant. Maybe if you weren't fuming at ... Full Comment>>

If they are citizens of another country, born in another country, then they are not "Foreign-Born Chinese"... they're "Foreign-Born" citizens of another country, not Chinese. It's just more ethnic nationalism, the belief that Chinese = Han. Full Comment>>

Blame the Chinese language, and everyone who calls white people "foreigners". Chinese pretty much assume that non-yellow = "foreigner" and that yellow = Chinese (or at least Asian), despite there being Asians who aren't yellow, and yellow folks who are, for example, European. Personally, I prefer ... Full Comment>>

Exactly. In discussions of how to kill someone, there's no place for morals or ethics. Like when I'm reading an article on how to purchase a 13 year old sex slave, I don't need to be lectured how some people think slavery is bad, according to their beliefs, or cramming their beliefs down my throat.

It seems that, in general, British, Australians, and Americans tend to accept criticism from foreigners more than Chinese. When a foreigner mentions something negative about the US only the fringe nationalists go on the immediate defensive. In China, no one is ever allowed to point out flaws. Full Comment>>
