I would find this more offensive if I didn't find her so arousing.

She's distracting me.

Wow. Not surprising exactly, but very, very disappointing and sad. Here's hoping this is like a seed that helps start some significant changes over there.

Asian's are more racist than Americans or Europeans ever were, I can attest from personal experience.

This has been my experience too, especially between Japanese and Korean people. I'm white, but have the most common Korean last name there is (Park) so I get judged a LOT by certain Asian folks.........

(It's hilarious to see the look on an Asian businessman's face when he shows up for a meeting with Mr. Park and finds himself face to face with a white guy)

It is in this country that only recently felt the pressure to change the name of a popular toothpaste brand – from “Darkie” to “Darlie” (seriously? Ughh).

I took a picture of this last time I was there:

Yeah, racism is largely accepted over there. They used to tell ethnic jokes over the loudspeaker of the college where I was teaching during their afternoon "radio show." The jokes made fun of chinese minorities such as muslim hui chinese.

That`s just sad

Lou Jing is HAWT.

That is all.

[WalterBush]

They've been in on it for thousands of years.

[Jimmy Bones]

The Chinese are less racist than the Japanese, but they are very egocentric, much like Americans. They are very culturist.

Judging someone by the color of their skin is the deepest level of dumbnessness.



Still,"white man can't jump" is an accepted fact.

you buy Nowww !!!

I find it weird that they keep calling her chocolate girl.

I think as a large population that's mostly still very insular its natural that they exhibit signs of xenophobia. Also the chinese have a very long history and that tends to grow into some sort of national pride (their name in chinese is middle-country, after all). That being said, though, there's probably very little different between that and American national pride.

Being Asian myself i think its easier to see racism when you are the minority. I would expect whites to think that asians are more racist then they are, while asians see whites as more racist.

Oh, and her chinese is very very good.

i might use a harsher word than dumb, but... yeah... agreed.

as far as skin color goes in asia, my parents lived in bangkok for several years, so ive spent a lot of time there. its the only place ive seen skin whitening cream, as whiter skin is perceived as better (ie- higher class, dont have to work outside, etc). my mom (white lady) will sir out in the sun at the pool or elsewhere, and its funny that people have commented on how odd that is, because they prefer the opposite.

on one visit, my brother and i took a combo of trains and buses from bangkok into laos via vien tien, and up to luang prabang, where we took a flight back to bkk. at the laos border, we met up with a random american dude who married a thai chick, and was going up the same way, so we hung out and shared a taxi and hit up the same hotel and all. as soon as we crossed the border, his wife commented on how it smelled bad, and how the food isnt as good in laos. it didnt smell any different once we crossed that arbitrary line, and the food was great most of places we ate.

theres also a deal with thailand and burma, due to some war like a thousand years ago. some thai films will throw in some burmese jokes, and the rest of the people in the theater will be cracking up, and i get it, but i dont get how its funny, but that kind of stuff just goes to show you how theres always some portion of the folks in some region that look down on the people in another region, even if there arent a ton of differences from a western perspective.

ive never been to burma (myanmar to be current), but, as previously stated, ive spent a lot of time in thailand, and a week in laos, and love them both. having traveled extensively, in my opinion, the people in those two countries have such a friendly way about them; much more so than anywhere else ive been, yet theres still a portion of the population that looks down on somebody else.

How about that every African household has a bass guitar in their basement?


That could explain the "where do all the used basses go?" thread in the basses forum.
