Hi /r/China, From now on we are going to start enforcing the "no circlejerk" rule more strictly when it comes to CCJ terms. This means that rainy, rocky, nong, and tim will no longer be allowed on /r/China. These words are considered CCJ slang as they either originated in /r/chinacirclejerk (now /r/CCJ2) or became popularized there. There are a few reasons for this: Rainy - Although this word was originally created to describe a certain archetype of Chinese women, it is too often used as a catch-all term for Chinese women in general. For many people it feels racist and/or misogynistic, and we think /r/China would be better off without it. For similar reasons the male equivalent, Rocky, is not acceptable either. Nong - Similar to "Rainy," nong is too often used in a racist way to refer to Chinese people. Even when it is used to mean nongmin it is derogatory and often offensive. It's just not necessary, and no longer welcome on this subreddit. Tim - This isn't racist or sexist, but it is often used in an rude and offensive way and makes /r/China feel hostile, unwelcoming, and cliquey. In general, these words are often used offensively, to insult, or dehumanize, and they make /r/China seem like a bitter male expat's club, with its own negative terminology for newbies and Chinese people, when what we really want to create is a more friendly, welcoming, open and accessible subreddit where anyone with an interest in China can feel comfortable posting. We would rather not ban people for this so will just be giving out gentle warnings at first, and if you really want to use these words, /r/CCJ2 is alive and thriving, and is a place where you can pretty much say anything you like. This is a great community, and we hope that this will make it even better. Please help us out by using the report function if you see a post or comment that we have missed and please continue to report racism and spam, thanks!

ladron posted:can someone explain this one please? What / who is Tim Budong? Tim Budong is a play on the Chinese phrase ting bu dong, which translates to "I don't understand". Hence, a Tim Budong is a clueless, FOB (read: fresh off the boat) foreigner. The female version of a Tim is called a Tina Budong.

McGavin posted:I work in a wine related industry and I find this incredibly hard to believe. Whenever we go to China and have winery owners compare premium wine to garbage gutter wine they always pick the gutter wine. It's bizarre because we are comparing premium product to stuff that is deliberately made with wine faults and they pick the trash wine every time. They cheated.

Haier posted:A wing is like a life. The colors of the wing are like the different expereinces inside a life and we have all the experiences we get from life, like wing has colors. A butterflys wing might have 1000000 colors. Our life will have 1000000 experneices and changes a lot. When the light is touching a wing and makes the color change, it is like having a fun time but then it becomes bad. We all know that Mao saw the changes of the colors of China and wanted to make it red and beautiful, liek a red butterfly wing. We followed The Great Chairmao to the revulution, but that is only one color change in Chinas 5000 years of history. So the color of the wing of the butterfly also represents the beuaty of China. Only China has such 5000 years of beautiful history and I love my country very much. 888/10 Gorilla Salad posted:Define colour. 0/10 see me after class.

My fiancée and I have an incredibly positive and rewarding relationship. One that we have earned with hard work, mutual support, and, sometimes, navigating tough conflicts and personal failings. We are a partnership of equals. To understand our current concern you will need to know some of the specifics of who we are: My fiancée, Hops, (not her real name, clearly) is ethnically Chinese, but has lived in the west for most of her life, and all of her adult life. I am caucasian and have only lived in the west. Hops' family has a somewhat troubled past. They moved often and had fluctuating income. She has ongoing issues with the demands and behavior of her mother, Wheat, and her father is no longer a part of her life. We talk about these issues, and I help where I can, mostly by (hopefully) offering perspective. Finally, our engagement will be her second marriage, my first. We have been engaged for 7 months and are deep in wedding planning, something we are paying for ourselves. Wheat maintains her connections with China, and is not very comfortable communicating in english. This limits my ability to directly speak with her, but it is not impossible. Wheat lives in the west, but in another country and thousands of miles from Hops and myself. Recently Wheat called Hops, after Wheat had visited China, and said that she expected me to pay a bride-price or dowery to her. Neither Hops or I were familiar with the tradition, and had to resort to wikipedia and ex-pat websites to research the practice. Wheat would not set an amount, saying that I "would have to figure that out," but that she "raised [Hops] into a woman" and that should be kept in mind. Socially and culturally, I find this abhorrent and objectifying, but I freely admit my bias - I was not raised in this culture. My fiancée agrees with me, calling the request crazy. I also hate the inherent paternalism/cringe of being the "rich white guy paying for an asian bride" even if that is only Wheat's perception. Finally, Hops' first husband was not asked to honor this tradition. However, I want to strengthen my relationship with Hops for the long term. Wheat's good will and buy-in is important for the health of our life together. She has (unintentionally) offered me a way to buy her opinion. We are in a financial situation where we could afford to pay a small amount but we would take a hit. We are not, by any stretch of the imagination, wealthy. I don't have specifics on Wheat's situation, but it is far from perfect, financial. I know future requests will materialize. I'd love to hear any thoughts on the situation or background/cultural insight on the bride-price practice. It would be nice to have a number/range to reference to help our decision making. Also how to approach Wheat with our decision. Privately, the amount I have proposed to Hops is 40 USD in Gamestop credit and a bucket, as those do not depreciate. /s Apologies for any cultural insensitivity on my part. Thanks!

Instead I just got her dad two cartons of chungwa and just paid for the tiny (15 people) banquet, I was out less than 1000 USD for my Chinese wedding. https://www.reddit.com/r/China/comments/577cp7/questions_about_bride_price_from_a_dumb_white_guy/ Further on down the plot thickens: quote:Hold the phone, the mother is from HK?
