Hello everyone, I just want to remind you that this thread is inching toward pretty offensive racism that many people find hurtful, and if we do not stop it and stop talking about things like traditional Chinese medicine, we'll have to close the thread. Thank you for your understanding.

Could you point it out?

Edit: Is this like a really dry parody of some white college student getting offended on someone's behalf?

I was the front seat passenger in a didi when the driver swerved to hit a female cyclist on purpose. Then he pulled over, yelled at me to get out of the car (on the side of the highway) and just took off.

I was freaked out for a solid month after that because he was so... normal about it. Like that was just another Tuesday for him.

Thankfully the woman was okay, I stayed with her until her friends arrived (the bike was wrecked).

Chaoshan Girl's brother's wife had a new baby some months ago. Now they have two boys, but the brother actually likes this one, so the older boy is now double-ignored and neglected by his dad compared to before. She says when he comes home from work, he sits on the couch, starts smoking, and doesn't acknowledge the toddler trying to get attention because his phone is more important. She said he's never bought the kid toys before, or tried to play with him.
This is the guy that makes his housewife borrow money from him to buy groceries to feed the family, even though he makes like $10-15k USD or more per month. When he's feeling moody and they argue he doesn't give her any money so she can't feed the kids and he just shrugs his shoulders, and she has to go to CG or her parents to ask for money. The guy is like 25, got married at 21, and still can't flush the toilet after using it or boil water without starting a fire, so he's a typical Chaoshan male according to CG. Like many of the Chaoshan guys that act as middlemen for buyers, they skipped high school to go directly into earning money, so their faculty of life-long knowledge is stuck around an 8th grade Mainland education. Not the fancy mega-city education, but the village school education. Money is the only thing that matters, along with alcohol, cigarettes, and mistresses. Everything else is for chumps and losers and people who were never smart enough to get rich quick.

CG was over at his house and watching the wife prepare the meal for the baby. Like many modern Chinese women, she has a list of malnutrition problems, can't lactate, and has to give formula. CG was watching and saw the woman take plain tap water and pour into the shaker bottle to mix the formula. She asked her why they don't filter their water, or buy a filter like she has in her house (a large 5-part reverse osmosis filter that cost around $200 USD). The brother was nearby and was shocked at this idea of spending money on water.

Him: "People didn't need to filter their water for thousands of years! They lived long lives. Filtering water is a scam! Did you notice only modern people filter water? Nobody did that before. Why can't we be like them?"
CG: "There's a lot of bad stuff in the water now, like lead, metals, bacteria. It's safer to filter the water. Your new baby shouldn't drink that, he is too young."
Him: "Did Confucius filter his water???"
CG: "What?"
Him: "There is nothing wrong with the water. It is a scam. You wasted your money on a filter because you are young and stupid. You just put the water in the cup and drink it, but people like you want to make it complicated."
CG: "Your baby is too young for this."
Him: "You don't have any kids, what do you know about how to take care of a baby?"

Anyway, lol. I want to meet this guy but I am the big shame. CG's mom and sister know about me, but her mom was so upset that CG made "close" friends with a foreigner that she's kept it a shameful secret from everyone. The mom brought in a rabid pack of Chaoshan aunties and forced CG to take them out to dinner, and they passive-aggressively berated women who date foreigners, saying they are all prostitutes, traitors to China, mentally unstable, and low quality people, and she needs to consider finding a Chaoshan man or else she will never have a happy home life. CG was loling at irony, because every one of these women hated their husbands and all had to tolerate the breadwinner spending 3-4 nights per week with his mistress.

Seems the obvious solution to the degree problem is to treat domestic degrees as is and to slap "International" on the pay-to-pass degrees. Should clue in potential employers immediately.

"Well he has a degree in engineering, but this other candidate has an international degree in engineering. Seems we know which one to go with."

The even more obvious solution is to not run universities as privately owned, for profit corporations. That model will never not compromise education integrity for profit.

Instead of telling people to mind their own business, you got to deflect.

ARE YOU MARRIED?

ARE YOU A MATCH MAKER?

IF YOU INTRODUCE SOMEONE TO ME THEY BETTER BE GOOD.

DO YOU WANT TO BE MY MOTHER? YOU SOUND LIKE HER BUT AT LEAST SHES RELIABLE AND CAN TAKE CARE OF ME. IM NOT SO SURE ABOUT YOU

or try extreme sarcasm

I HAVE ONE CHINESE BOYFRIEND IN EVERY MAJOR CITY

I DONT KNOW WHO TO CHOOSE ITS TOO HARD

ARE WE IN A PARK? YOU SOUND LIKE A GRANDMOTHER

IF YOU WORRY ABOUT MY MARRIAGE SO MUCH WHY DONT YOU WORRY ABOUT YOUR HEALTH? ARE YOU ACTUALLY HEALTHY

or belittle their life choices

WHY DO I NEED YO MARRY SO SOON AND SPLIT MY MONEY WHEN I MAKE ENOUGH ON MY OWN

WHEN YOU INTRODUCED SOMEONE TO ME THEY WERE BAD. PLEASE HAVE HIGHER STANDARDS

DID YOU MARRY EARLY BECAUSE YOU WERE NOT CONFIDENT IN YOURSELF

WHY DO YOU LISTEN TO YOUR MOTHER SO EASILY

DID YOU MARRY OR DATE EARLY BECAUSE YOU CAN NOT DEAL WITH LONELINESS

CAN YOU ASK ME A BETTER QUESTION? TOO MANY PEOPLE ASK THIS QUESTION

etc

“Like most people who leave their home towns, I’m here for work and earn money - I guess it’s nice that you never left your home and just live with your parents”

If it’s not family and just coworkers then who cares and just rip them to shreds and reduce their dignity and make them feel bad. Just do it in a funny way in public and make other people turn on them for feeling stupid.

Talking down to people 1 on 1 don’t work as well because they have a higher defense mechanism whereas people in group settings tend to hold their tongue

So Trump sent a Ticonderoga-class guided missile cruiser and an Arleigh Burke-class destroyer into the South China Sea to test the waters so to speak (freedom of navigation). Nothing really provocative, but I hope that the US isn't the only country that is doing this. If other nations allow China to bully them, it's going to be "Salami-Tactics" all the way to Manila Bay.
