Not really an example of "white-washing." my outrage about Hollywood white-washing knows no limits *foreign film from China with two non-Chinese actors*. THIS IS AN EXAMPLE OF THE WHITE-WASHING OF CHINESE CULTURE THAT I LEARNED ABOUT FROM MY GRANDMA IN BEIJING ONE SUMMER ON HIGH SCHOOL BREAK!!!

Mainly I just find limpwristed liberals praising/admiring him funny, because the man was a stone cold killer who refused to denounce violence as a means of political change and an avowed socialist, which isn't exactly the archetype to admire the average American liberal, asian-american or no.

Also the whole racial element doesn't translate the same overseas mate, so no. Is this another one of those American things? If so, sorry mang, didn't mean to offend. I dunno about the Asian American thing or how that is relevant. Do you mind telling me who he killed? Also I'm pretty sure he wasn't a socialist or communist. Not that that is necessarily a bad thing. Wouldn't "limp waisted liberals" like that sort of thing anyway?

Him turning from African Socialism to moderate Social democrat is something that's pretty easy to google and something I'd think was fairly well known though.

I just had an, "and everyone stood and clapped" moment. I'm sitting in Pearson International waiting for my flight to Calgary and eating a Pita. A (what I assume) Mainland Chinese University student is eying me while eating a Mozza burger. Just as I am getting up to go to my gate he summons up the courage to speak. "Why are you wearing that? Taiwan is China!" <Pointing at my KMT pin that I have on my jacket lapel for exactly this reason> "You are not Canadian, you would not understand".

I'm back from Shenzhen. Here are my most Chinar pictures. We spent the first night at a place literally called the People's Armed Police Hotel. This helpful sign informed me not to do drugus or be yellow This sign in the lobby raises awareness about evil foreign clowns We went to a theme park and stayed in another hotel. It had a "car" theme so there was a display of license plates on the lobby wall. The designed must have had a sense of humour; "689" is derisive slang for the Hong Kong Chief Executive CY Leung (as he got 689 votes out of 1200 on the closed-circle nominating committee, because the CCP shoeshiners were unsure how they were supposed to vote at the last minute). So we enter the theme park and I swear I hear bagpipes. Upon entering I see these guys! The playing was not bad (drones were slightly out of tune and there were a few missed grace notes, but the average audience wouldn't notice). I go up and talk to them in my lovely Mandarin and explain that hey, I'm from Hong Kong and in a pipe band myself, who's your teacher, what band are you with etc. Unfortunately they weren't very friendly and weren't inclined to answer. I couldn't even get a name card out of them for future collaboration :-( The weird thing is that the theme park is Swiss-themed. So all fake alpine villages and poo poo. The pipers were totally out of place and they generally looked unhappy to be there, but I guess "European" is the same in China as "Asian" is the same in North America. They were also probably pissed off at having to work during Chinese New Year. After wandering around the park for a while it was time for lunch. Grandpa 2 didn't join us and instead my wife's cousin had to drive him back to the hotel to steam vegetables in his room because no restaurants had enough vegetables. So we choose a Lanzhou-style restaurant and Grandma 2 and Father-in-law immediately take out the leftovers from the previous night's dinner that they have been carrying around all morning and begin eating it while complaining that the food doesn't taste as good as Hometown. We went up to some temple called Great Huaxing Temple (Huaxing means "China rises/prospers/succeeds" b/c of course) and found that the traditional orange bush placed at entrances had had all of its oranges ripped off and eaten by tourists. Traffic was stopped on the highway to the theme park for hours near our hotel. This Catmobile had set up beside the jam so bored drivers could buy snacks. A good business plan. Across the road from our "car" themed hotel was a "train" themed hotel. On a stretch of track, there is a train and a bunch of sleeping cars. The idea is you stay inside one of these sleeping cars as an "experience". My kids loved it, because hey, a chance to sleep on a train! At the front was an old China Southern Railways loco that was rusted to all hell. We had to pay 10 RMB each to walk around but we had carte blanche to poke around inside the driver's cab (which contained a bunch of damp carpet pieces in front of the firebox) and the sleeping cars, having a look inside of the rooms. Only one family was actually staying there. On our last night in Shenzhen we went to some famous Mongolian restaurant. Then staff dressed as Mongolians came into our tiny dining room and sang disco Mongolian songs at ear-splitting volume for the benefit of the majority Han. Crossing back to Hong Kong at the Lok Ma Chau customs point, there is a statue of a PLA soldier holding the bauhinia flower of Hong Kong in one hand and Quotations from Chairman Mao on the other. Compared to what usually happens when I have to be in China for any length of time it was OK. There was some actual fun stuff like a train ride that my kids liked so I didn't loathe every minute of it. The service staff at the theme park hotel were actually quite friendly and helpful, and the hotel restaurant sold me big bottles of Tsingtao for 12 RMB. 7/10, would Chinar again.

Haier posted:Wait a week for all the freaks to come back and it gets clogged up with Hunanese being retarded as gently caress. Then it's really a party. We're staying with my girlfriends friends a little bit outside the city and there is barely anyone here, it's weird. They have the nicest house I've been to in China and its really quiet here, only seen 2 cars today, makes a nice change from the week I just spent in rural Henan. But yeah, in just one subway carriage on the way here there was the fattest girl I've seen in China who had bright red dreadlock/cornrow things that was twitching her head around like a bird and staring at people with a huge grin, a woman whose coat was too tight with a high collar so she couldnt move, it was like she was strapped to a spinnal board with a neck brace on, watching her trying to pick up all her bags was fun. Another girl headbanging to tfboys, there was a mother with a little kid running around she was playing chase with, some guy got on, saw this, got on his hands and knees and starting shouting chase me! chase me! the woman looked really uncomfortable. It was about a months worth of oddities in Chengdu that happened within the space of 5 minutes.
