    Wow. Y’all are racist. Race is a myth; it’s irrelevant. It’s only genotype. Viva le difference. Just chill out and fuck or have a long-term relationship with whoever you love and/or think is attractive, regardless of race. Whatever. Chill. Smoke a bowl. … :3

    To learn as new language is not easy. Good thing this guy still looks cute in spite of his struggle to learn the language.

    What can I say, you’re an idiot who has bad English skills. You should be embarrassed to call yourself a white person. You probably stutter too don’t you? You’ve got a ‘chicken heart’ boy. You can’t handle what some stranger says about your people in a message board and you get bent out of shape? Are you serious?

    Let me ask you a question, if whites are so proud, like you seem to be, why are you even considering allowing those psycho Arab hajjis to build a fucking mosque in downtown NYC?? Everyone here should know that you white clowns are thinking of allowing those nutjobs from 9/11 Saudi Arabia to put a mosque in the same fucking spot they nailed 3000 innocent Americans 9 years ago. That’s how ridiculously shameful America has become. That’s why whites are idiots. Blowing tax payer’s money on bullshit. Insult to injury.

    weak shit lizard, you are the reason white people are hated around the world. perfect example.

    you are the reason non-whites meet you with a smile then wish you’ll trip and break your lard-infested legs when you turn your back.

    don’t you have a klan meeting to go to? or is the klan something the Chinese people made up about whites? repent your sins now :D

    You fail to understand anything I’ve posted. Your IQ is quite low. You really need to get back to work before your Chinese boss fires you for incompetence and laziness..then you’d be just another stereotype of your typical white. Trading off your white skin will only get you so far boy. I don’t hate white people. I have white friends, girlfriends, party girls, girls I just fuck for sport, etc. Nothing against white people, they are good for something..like making a good cup of Starbucks coffee.

    I write over 20 fucking paragraphs here in this lousy website and all I get are complaints?? WTF? I don’t see any of you ass clowns writing anything remotely as interesting nor informational as I have. Nobody’s bitter, I’m just being honest. If anything, white people are the real true racists in this world..not Asians..and certainly not me!

    You guys have Mel Gibson, Don Imus, that idiot ugly alcoholic Glenn Beck, Dr. Laura Schlessinger, Michael Richards, to your discredit and the list goes on..and on..and on. These folks aren’t afraid to say lousy racist things on air, then they go and apologize for their stupidity..making them look even more stupid. Whites have this problem. Foot in the fucking mouth. Especially since they feel so damn comfortable thinking they’re at the top of the food chain in America. I don’t know any mainstream Asian or otherwise who goes on air and calls people names like whites do.

    Why is it that you’re only bad mouthing whites? Why not African, Indian, Hispanic, Japanese, Thai, CHINESE?
    Living in the USA, I’ve seen and heard of Mexican teenagers robbing houses, black men gang-raping minors, white men killing entire families, Asian girls beating up their peers….and the list goes on.
    “Chinese are respectful, hardworking, good people. Whites are typically lazy people who expect others to do their work for them. It’s the norm.”
    Why is there such a comparison made acting as if one race is better than the other? In reality, ALL races have dirty hands.
    In reality, every race doesn’t have a “personality traits list”. Every race has a lazy bunch, the dumb ones, the athletic type, the intellectuals, and the crazy psycho killer.
    Although I’m not fully Chinese, I understand how absolutely disgusting it is to see people of your own race regard another so highly. From the time I was about 7 I’ve been taught that the white man is to be respected, and no matter what he is the race I must marry. My grandmother (She makes up the Chinese in my blood) continually cuts down her own race in favor of worshiping another. My mother who married a Vietnamese man (And then made me part Viet) long divorced him and now only settles for rich, white men. (Regardless of how ugly, old, or disgusting they may be) I believe something like this is truly shameful.
    Either way though, when you grow up in such a diverse setting, you learn that racism is pointless and that no, there is no superior race. I’m appalled that a grown adult such as yourself is so obviously racist and still is denying it. It is just the truth you say? No, most all the statements in your argument were opinion, and I find it extremely disheartened that a grown man like you could not even learn the lessons mere children have the knowledge of; that everyone, every race is equal.

    you know, there are some points to his post.

    there’s a pretty visible double standard between whites and asian when comes to racial tolerance, any asian, not matter what nationality, who has spend time in a western community would agree to this.

    just saying on an average, Chinese are more racially tolerant than, say Americans or Australians. lets say a Chinese post a video about him learning english on you tube, what kind of comment do you think he’ll receive.

    Hey gang. Glad to see we’re all still trollin’.

    Checking the site again makes me realise that some of you Chinese guys on here definitely know how to write English rather well. Surely you can find something better to do with your time than hate-spamming, like a real job for example.

    It’s also good fun that a conversation about a laowai playing up to the camera on the Chinese Internet (get used to it) has moved on to the Ground Zero Mosque.

    I think also someone needs to point out that the Ground Zero Mosque is neither at ground zero, nor is it a mosque; it’s a community centre a few blocks from ground zero. There are strip bars between this building and ground zero, they tell me. So Muslims haven’t taken over the world just yet. And it’s a really great idea to let this get built by the way, because it shows Amurka is better (and more grown up) than the Tersts: there’s no way that Al Qaeda or The Taliban would allow a downtown Christian community centre, because “not all Christians are bad”.

    Well you should dumbass. Because 90% of the Asians in America go to fucking higher education, while your boys are jerking each other off in Iraq and Afghanistan fighting ghosts and coming back to America with PSD.

    You’ve got the kind of white man attitude in America, the “Go fuck yourself” attitude..did you get that from Dick Cheney??

    I am really enjoying Chiang Brother’s posts. He is very articulate and obviously educated. But his posts are very extreme, I wonder if he just wants to be melodramatic. It sure is entertaining to read.

As a matter of fact ,you look too scrawny and malnourished to be any useful.

    Alikese – I’ve now ruined two perfectly good pairs of pants, pissing myself laughing at your posts. Thank God there’s someone with a brain and a sensayuma, that comes here! (Momentary aside to Jones: I say this as someone whose family largely consisted of Dutch immigrants – maybe at last you’ve met a Dutchie you don’t like).

    Your thought about what this thread might have been was right on, too, and was exactly why I clicked on this thread, after a layoff from the delights of polite discourse to be found here.

    I think Chinese learners of English have even more difficulty emulating correct sounds than English-speaking learners of putonghua. Assuming that idea is right, it could be because Chinese are better at allowing for deviations from correct speech, or because there are simply more distinct-sound-particles in English than Chinese. I swear I have more evidence for this than the facts that my Chinese girl-friend just ignores my mistakes with tones and sounds, whereas I love to tease her about her delightful English.

    “just saying on an average, Chinese are more racially tolerant than, say Americans or Australians”

    ——————————————————–

    Um, no. Talk to a Chinese about Japanese and see them get red in the face. A lot of them also think they are better then Africans and Indians, because of lighter skin. A Chinese teacher at my University said “Don’t go out with a Black man after dark, because all you can see are the white of his teeth.” I see this kind of racial ignorance all the time in China.

    chiang brothers,
    what do you thing about the spate of primary school knife attacks that happened a couple of months ago in china. doesnt that remind you of high school massacres in the US. dont you think that that shows that people can behave in the same way wherever they are and whoever they are?
