No u r the racist Jokes aside, I think almost everyone has some racist/bigoted thoughts, what matters is how they deal with it more than anything. Anyway let's go back to posting about China instead.

I just took a huge dump in my squatter and I found out the bad way that there is some work being done on the pipes in my building and I can't flush. My house stinks so bad. I used hand sanitizer to clean my hands, but otherwise I can't do anything about the big dump airing itself out in my bathroom. These lovely doors aren't protecting me from the smell, so I lit incense in the bathroom and hope that works for a while. I want to go out, but I need a shower and I was planning on shaving my face because I am hanging with a friend downtown later. I might have to cancel my plans if the water doesn't come back until too late.

Oh yeah I agree with you, I think it's nonsense and there's a lot more nuance than people want to dive into. Just saying, the all white men dating minorities (particularly Asians, particularly in Asia) = always racist sexpat exploitative beasts view is fairly common in certain quarters. I don't agree with it at all though. I think all miscegenation is pretty cool though and I look forward to every Haier story, particularly the conclusion to his latest one the fecal fiesta

when i was visiting a guy's house in Delhi i asked if I could use the bathroom before leaving, and he got all embarassed and said "okay, but the toilet is very different from what you are used to" but it was just a squat toilet so i laughed and was like "hey its fine i've used these a bunch in china" and he was surprised that chinese people use them too i guess

They're not all that uncommon in parts of Europe too, I saw plenty of gross squatters in Italy. The ones at Ostia also featured more bees than I have ever seen anywhere outside an apiary.

I always liked squats since I don't have to have my butt touching the disgusting toilet seat that has probably never been cleaned, and also it's like a little exercise fit into your daily routine.

Never minded squat toilets that much though, Malaysia has them too. E: The grossest one I've seen was in a cafe near Versailles, the one on a square right next to the railway/light rail station if anyone cares. It was dirty and smelly as hell, much worse than anything I saw in Asia. Nice cafe though. Good sandwiches and that French super-sour lemon drink.

Sheep-Goats posted:Apparently there's a quirk with the Chinese marriage visa that makes you ineligible for a work permit (these two things are separate in many countries). I don't think anyone from the West has ever fully immigrated to China in the formal sense (eg: now carries a Chinese passport and has all the rights under the law of a Chinese citizen -- certainly no one from the West has ever been accepted in China as actually Chinese by regular people -- this is something basically limited to the US and Canada anyway). I had a fling with a Canadian divorcee. She still works in Shanghai and hasn't officially separated from her husband because it's easier for her to stay and work in china.

My hip width is more than 1.5 A4s the long way, and due to my hip structure I can't squat real wide to compensate. I'd also like to nominate the A4 as the official unit of the china thread. Real mixed feelings on squatting. I agree with your perks, but sitting on most toilets is almost identical to squatting for me because my knees are multiple inches above my hips with my feet flat on the ground.

Like all of the peoples experiences in this thread have been how they are not seen as real people by the majority of the people they meet and this leads to wacky scenarios and hijinks based on assumed racial capabilities. And then people come and say "No, see you are the real racist because" This is the bad china thread. It's more fun to post bad stories.

A lot of westerners can't do the flat footed Asian/Eastern European squat because it's not part of the culture, so we don't do it as kids, so our Achilles tendons don't stretch out enough to allow us to do it as adults. I thought that was neat when I found out, culture actually changing physiology. I know I cannot squat except on tiptoe and it's immediately excruciating.

It always weirded out my Chinese friends that I squatted on my toes while they squatted flatfoot. I actually don't mind squatting on the toes so much though, I definitely can't do it flat footed like they do though.

I'm Eastern European so for me it's more v  v . Never really thought too much about it, I did start to kneel and sit down more when I spent a lot of time in the UK though.E: (northern) Eastern Europe doesn't use squat toilets, although that is not to say there aren't super lovely toilets in like rural Ukraine or rural eastern Poland. They are more likely to be outhouse-type affair though if anything. Squat toilets were mainly an Ottoman thing. E2: I guess Russia does have some. I've never been there though.

It takes time to stretch the tendon but eventually everyone can do the downward dog right?

It takes 8 months or so to go complete flat foot. And I think using a squatter long enough will eventually stretch your tendons.

Haier posted:I used to think this way and also had to take my pants off until one day I just decided to try it at home with some sweatpants and learned how to properly do it without pooping or peeing on my clothes. It takes some practice, but you'll get the hang of it. I found pulling the pants to knee level so you rest on the tautness of cloth behind the knees does the trick. Still, I pissed on the back of my pants a few times in the process.

Baronjutter posted:Here's another thing I don't get about China, or more about the rest of the world. How come everyone keeps conducting diplomacy and business deals with the chinese government and firms as if they were western institutions and getting shocked every time they're totally hosed over or china does the most petty short sighted poo poo? "Oh they'd never screw us over on this on this minor thing, we both want a long term relationship and it's in both our interests..." NOPE. They will happily gently caress them selves out of millions of dollars in long term business if they can gently caress you over for a few thousand today. And it's not just about the short term gain, it's like in the business world you lose face for not loving someone over the moment you see the smallest opening. It's because westerners are also dumb, and tend to think that western practices are normal and professional, not cultural. We don't recognise that "culture" is a factor at all, beyond language and law. Most businesses don't have a cultural anthropologist on staff to tell them everything is cultural. So we think that of course everyone is going to adopt the most logical, reasonable, and efficient practices (ie the ones I'm familiar with). That's the normal way to conduct business. The same line of thinking that leads someone to say "I don't have an accent, I talk normal."
