OMG! There will never be a cure for racism until mother Earth is blown to pieces.

People are racist within their own race. Fucked up world we live in.

Hilarious. Too bad there wasn’t some Chinese American dude there that said, “USD!!!”.

Chinese American > PROC+ROC+HK

The Taiwanese accent is just a little bit off — enough to tip my Taiwanese wife off that the guy can’t be from Taiwan.

People who want to be number one are also weary of those who want to be number one as well?

A bunch of power jousting. China deserves the rise and respect they’re being given. So do other areas of the world.

Existing peacefully is more important than being dominant. Dominating in _every_ way would prove difficult, anyway.

Funny! And positive too!

It was a surprise that they actually went Dutch. People I know from these places don’t actually do that, espcially mainland Chinese. So this commercial flick actually shows consensus between the people, despite the differences in currency and spoken language.

Wiser than showing people from the 3 regions trying to make each other pay the bill.

All I can say is Chinese people can’t talk politics objectively.

Yeah, and your subtitles are a lot better than mine (first time ever doing captions, so my timing is off, and my translations aren’t so good).

Only issue — “going dutch” is usually only used if you’re on a date or otherwise with one other person. “Separate checks” seems better to me for the giant banquet table.
