It's like the tourists I meet here who natter on to me about how friendly and polite the Indonesian people are, and it turns out the only ones they have had contact with are the room service and housekeeping staff in their hotels, and their tour guides. 😉
Space would evade us if I mentioned all the Chinese that I have met in China town, at my local restaurant, takeaway shop etc

How many? do you think i kept account? You absurd silly man. One was on this very site and they were rather apologetic to be honest and said that they would not mention it again.
Originally posted by robbie carrobieAnd how would your stereotype of the Chinese change if the rude and abusive people in the minibus in Glasgow had been ethnic Chinese?
The Chinese that I have known have been very gentle people, two physicists who live near my home and a doctor, as well as a young women when I was studying art and design who took a shine to me, we exchanged gifts and things and I gave her my classical nylon strung guitar.

Originally posted by robbie carrobieYes, I've read your anecdote. But I am asking you, if the rude and abusive people in the minibus in Glasgow had been ethnic Chinese instead, would it have affected the stereotype you have of ethnic Chinese people that you've got from being served by them in shops and restaurants and stuff like that?
They were not Chinese they were English hooligans.

Originally posted by FMFYes but they weren't Chinese and I have no interest in your absurd hypothetical nonsense, the reality was they were English lager louts, not from China, not from Indonesia, but from England the lager lout capital of the universe.

Originally posted by robbie carrobiePeople would be forgiven for thinking that you've just made this whole thing up - the way you're behaving, the things you are posting, the hazy details, the preposterous nature of the claim. Sorry to tell you that.
not really, sometimes with one and sometimes in a group.
Originally posted by robbie carrobieYes but we are discussing the mechanics of your prejudice and of how you arrive at your stereotyping. If you met some abusive Chinese people what would your stereotype of Chinese people then become?

Originally posted by robbie carrobieDo you really think any of this stuff about how you have told black people that you are offended if they call themselves black - so many times that you can't even recall roughly how many times you've done it - sounds even remotely true?
face bovered?
