Tragically, yes, I’m totally serious. 6 years, laughing at the victims. No joke. I could recount to you a few stories of mine, but they make me too freaking angry and I’m already racist enough as it is.

Oh what a constructive and wholly appropriate response.

Care to add anything to the discussion regarding the story?

Thought not.

You are not Chinese by any chance?

Just saw this over at EastSouthWestNorth: A Matter Of Taste Or Tastelessness.

Warning: More media coverage that includes photographs of a traffic accident, probably not suitable for all of the “privacy and dignity” folk here. Also, definitely not suitable for the squeamish.

However, I think Soong has made a good case for the more tabloidy nature of Hong Kong media with ESWN over time. Just thought it was an interesting parallel to this post.

Re: #2.

Are you serious? Most of the time they just come and laugh at people who are seriously injured or dying?

1. posting graphic images of the dying woman is an insult to the family, shame on those who posted the images, shame on those who took the pictures.

2. Chinese people should wake up. I’ve seen so many accidents in my 6
years here and the callous, cold behavior of Chinese to each other is shocking. Nobody lifts a finger to help each other, most of the time, they just come to look at the victim and laugh at them. You are animals, learn some respect and civility.

3. Chinese people should learn how to drive. Not just the cyclists with no brakes on their bikes, not just the scooter riders who turn without signaling or looking, not just the cement truck drivers who divest all responsibility and assume that because they have the bigger vehicle everyone will scatter out of the way, all you Chinese people should learn how to drive properly. You weave constantly in traffic and do not know how to drive in reverse or parallel park. Ask your government to introduce a proper licensing program based on Western standards. For the Love of God!

4. My deepest sympathies to the family for your loss, this is a senseless tragedy and should never have happened

I just wish the last minute of that poor woman’s life wasn’t depicted on websites or some asshole broadcasting a running commentary on it.

Its true, in China, people would just come and stare in accidents or whatever shit is happening. Some people are just dumb as a dipstick and won’t even try to help or just move on. They wanna see and talk about it like if its a fucking university seminar.

Give the poor woman some privacy and just move on…
