i am honestly appalled by all these rude comments bashing the shanghainese. if they are “rude”, “arrogant”, “trash” as some have said, then what makes you better by calling them these things?? to me, it seems like everyone is just bashing on them for no good reason. for goodness sake, leave them alone! look at what has become of hong kong and china, even tibet!
the chinese government needs to learn to accept, along with the chinese people! if not, maybe it’s best shanghai splits from the mainland too. perhaps if it joined the government of hong kong or taiwan it’d be better off than the brainwashing government of centural china, telling everyone to hate shanghai!

Oh my but how vicious and vindictive the bunch of you all are, tearing into us Shanghainese people and culture like rapid dogs. Even though you mock us and say hateful things, underneath it all I can read that many are actually envious and wish they could be more like us Shanghainese. But because you have a hard time tasting the fruit, you say it’s sour.
I love Shanghai and my language/dialect, why are people trying to destroy it? If they destroy us, they destroy the very essence of what makes Shanghai the way it is and has been. NO, it is not the waidiren who made Shanghai. We have always had our own unique foods, looks, language, mannerisms, heck culture, and it took hundreds if not thousands of years of cultivation from the surrounding WU regions to achieve it. Now it seems waidiren have this mentality that if they could snuff out the Shanghainese then they themselves can be the NEW Shanghainese, well news flash, if that ever happens, the very essence of what makes Shanghai unique will be destroyed forever. Yes it will be changed, changed into nothing extraordinary like the rest of Mandarin speaking China. Just because one’s Chinese does not mean one should feel entitled to help themselves to what they never helped develop or achieve. It WAS our land first, and this isn’t just about our homes being gone, but mostly our language and culture. Just because Shanghai is part of China does not mean it’s a free for all, at least not if people cannot even appreciate the language/culture. It’s getting so bad, I’m beginning to understand how the Tibetans must feel. I have empathy for them now, this sense of genocide, that they have no right to their culture and language, their very way of life. It’s getting that way for us Shanghainese too.
We have a very unique dialect, I’m not saying it’s better or worse, but one very different from the rest of China and it would truly be a shame not to preserve it. It would be another aspect of Chinese culture becoming extinct forever like so much already is. Why people don’t try to learn Shanghainese when they are in Shanghai is beyond me, and then to call the Shanghainese rude for speaking their mother tongue in their own lands!!

Shanghainese men are like dogs. Only cheaper. They just follow women around.
However they are friendly, but they really should a greater effort to teach their language.

THe problem is not with hiring overseas people, they need to look why the local businessmen are not hiring the locals.

well, it seems that the inmigration not only happens in xinjiang and tibet, it happens in every Chinese province.

@fcuk- “You have never seen it done by the natives? LOL, you must be a Chi Mate posing as a westerner. You don’t miss that crap right off the plane.”

Y’know what they say about assumptions… I never said I was a westerner (not in the strictest sense). I just happen to be born in the US. Otherwise I’d be a second-generation Shanghainese. As it is I already spent my early childhood, the last 4 years, and every summer in between in Shanghai. I guess I “missed that crap” because I’m one of “them”.
