Experience with Chinese people

[imported_Jdo]

I say this as objectively as humanly possible with nothing but my experience interacting with them (in the office, in the marketplace, on the road) to back it up: they are one of the most rude people on this planet!

The fob ones are much more so with their almost complete lack of the ability to speak the English language. I always get the feeling when I'm shopping in a Chinese marketplace that far from being treated as a valued customer, I feel that I actually annoy them if I ask them questions seeking clarification about a product/price. Is it because they have such a huge customer base that they can afford to treat non-Chinese like this and still not suffer as a business?

Apologies for locking this, but it got thread crapped by some bigoted POS who insisted on registering multiple accounts to post his hate filled garbage. I left it open most of the day, but I do not want to leave it for him to return overnight to post more of the same.

So your example comes from interacting with supermarket clerks at an asian market? Nice. If that's the most indepth experience you're had, you're not really fit to make a blanket judgment on an entire ethnic group. And "most rude" is a not a term. Maybe you should learn some English as well.

They don't care about your business and neither do we.

 

[Farang]

How have you had such little contact with Chinese people? Have you lived in Iowa all your life?

 

[imported_Jdo]

What about if MOST clerks at MOST Chinese supermarkets are like this and MOST clerks at MOST non-Chinese supermarkets are not?

They are probably angry about their small wee-wees.

But seriously, Chinese != Asians.

 

[Jschmuck2]

I hear that they have powers.

Special powers.

Nice job generalizing an entire race of people, racist.

They are annoying, yes. Just look at their hooligan college students beating up Koreans in Korea! Then their Chinese ambassador merely expresses "regret," but does not offer an apology or anything. But, by far, the most annoying Asians are Koreans themselves. I find myself quite annoyed around their lack of manners.

Wow, what broad experiences you've had with Chinese people. I guess a few bad experiences with Chinese supermarket clerks lets you label an entire group of people a certain way.

get right out of tibet!


the older generation seem to buy chinas official propaganda line at least my parents and their friends.

 

[LongCoolMother]

I say this as objectively as possible, so please do not take offense. Most of the white people I've met are extremely rude. I mean, they don't ever mind their own business, they drive recklessly with no regard to traffic laws, and I've even had one screw up my McDonald's order!

Conclusion: White people have got to be the most barbaric people on this planet!

And don't even get me started with those Mexicans. They are even worse, with their inability to speak English!

I hate any kind of melons

Hook, line and sinker!

Can't believe so many people actually fell for an attention whore.

Now see, I've had almost the exact opposite experience with Chinese people.

The Ornamentals who work in the Chinese restaurant where we eat are all pleasant, smiling people who treat us like we're someone special. Of course then don't know our names, nor us theirs, but "Oh, we no see you long time! How you been? Come sit down, we have SPECIALS tonight!"

I know that it's not a matter of those crafty inscrutable Chinese just being after my money...they REALLY like me...:roll:

I think you just made the OPs point. The Chinese resteraunt you're refering to relies on white customers. OP's talking about how they treat whity when they can rely on their own race for all their customers.

EDIT: Not saying I agree with OP. Genralisations are bad. Most of the time.

Racism is frowned upon for a reason. This thread fails.

 

[Locut0s]

I love people who start such a thread with "I say this as objectively as possible" or "now I'm not a racist". Then go on to make huge sweeping generalizations and rehash old stereotypes from the few encounters they've had. LOL FTL.

Seriously if you can't handle rude Chinese market owners then don't go into Chinese markets problem solved. I could explain the whole thing as there is more to it that that and you are correct to some degree but I'm not going to given how you worded your original post.
