"I'm of the opinion that although 300 million Chinese are learning English that 299.9999 million still don't have a clue as to what foreigners are saying when they are speaking normally to each other." Well, Japanese is a difficult language. Oh.. you assumed that "foreigner" meant "person who speaks English, has ... Full Comment>>

So only people with white skin can notice what China is like? A more effective solution to people complaining about problems with China could be to, you know, fix those problems. Though, I guess bitching at the people pointing out children pissing in the street is easier than teaching children to not piss in the ... Full Comment>>

I hope the whole, "Whites are teh devil!

"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.

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>>

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.

Blame the Chinese language, and everyone who calls white people "foreigners".

Exactly. In discussions of how to kill someone, there's no place for morals or ethics.
