Is there a reason that you think I wasn't talking about the educated Chinese? Among those who hold this opinion, most have not spent much time living abroad or living closely with non-Chinese. They may well have employed some though... (:

By the way, among people who have spent a lot of time with "foreigners" many of them are neither repulsed nor fascinated, but simply value them, and wouldn't want to go back to not having such friends. Many others don't really care either way and correctly conclude that people are people. Both of these have nothing to do with China, Kunming, or with Kunming "foreigners" this is a phenomenon everywhere in the world.

I knew I was going to be challenged on that: Spoiled foreigners by Chinese is a very popular opinion among those who have been abroad and cohabitated with non-Chinese for many years. Most of those who have never been abroad and never lived in other countries think foreigners are flawless and other places than China is a paradise.

Surely you have plenty of Chinese friends who have been abroad and cohabitated with foreigners why not ask them about their thoughts on this.

I did. They didn't agree with what you said, and in fact considered the most spoiled people in China to be children of the rich, the "富二代". Furthermore they consider your "from a Chinese point of view" statement to be simplistic, ignorant, and categorically incorrect. As to your comment on species sticking together, they found this to be base, uncivilized and divisive.

My ayi wanted to know what species you were, and wondered if you had opposable thumbs?

So much for asking what the average Zhou on the street thinks...

You have a brain of pig size.

I thought you were happy to help? Why don't you just get lost!

I thought this was "my territory"...?

Your ayi - is that the only Chinese people you asked and the only Chinese people you hang out with?!

You ignorant, useless piece of sh*t!

For you, it's not about learning the truth. For you, it is all about the winning the arguement and attacking other people verbally. Can't you find something better to do.

Copy paste comment copy paste comment - is that what you do all day! You freak!

A brain of pig size sounds quite huge...hmmm, I mean pigs are usually larger than brains.

Anyway@ QQWEN,

I have plenty of unsavory things to say about gokunming, and there are a few people i don't like in Kunming, among them some non-Chinese.
So, if you can imagine it, I have no side in any foreigner vs. Chinese nonsense.

I also have many Chinese friends, some quite close, possibly more Chinese friends than you have, who knows? And they do not agree with you, though they are well aware of this common opinion. I do not know why you assume I have never asked my friends. I do have one not very close, but very nice friend who agrees with it. She has never been out of China.

The only thing I can agree with you on is that many people who have never been abroad and are not very worldly do imagine that America is a paradise.

Anyway, have fun with your chauvinism/jingoism.
