No, I didn't mean you when referring to disrespectful foreigners. I'm talking about some of the type of foreigners you find in foreign countries. I'm sure you've seen your share of disrespectful foreigners act like total idiots inAvatar1983 wrote:Hmmm. Actually I try to take great consideration of their country and culture. In fact when it comes to culture, is there any culture aspect you'd like to explain? Something I missed?zboy1 wrote:Exactly bro. This Avatar dude doesn't care to see the viewpoint from the other side, only cares about himself. Think about the way the roles are reversed in Anglo countries--with Asian dudes being harassed by whites and blacks alike for dating their women. And Chanta, you're right in that some foreigners just try to take advantage of foreign women without being respectful of their country and culture. I always say, as a foreigner in ANY COUNTRY, you are representing your country and nationality so be mindful of that and act accordingly!
Oh and about me not caring for anyone except myself, tell that to the victims of the Sichuan earthquake which I donated money to. And furthermore, any person who lives anywhere is gonna feel bad when he/she is completely isolated from those around him/her. If you end up in that situation zboy1, I'm gonna expect you not to complain. And just simply accept it.
Regards to representing your country and nationality and being mindful and acting accordingly? Hmmm. I've been trying to act with the highest respect to locals. When I had people invite me out to dinner, I research on the internet what to do and what not to do. For instance, never put chopsticks in a rice bowl with the end sticking straight up into the air. A person like me who tries to be culturally sensitive can't be accused of caring about nobody but himself.
Need I say more?
China.
Sorry, sometimes, I just carried away with my emotions because of the type of treatment I receive in the USA. It's not easy being an Asian man in Anglo countries. I'm just saying, I get upset--even with my white friends--when they complain about the mistreatment they receive while overseas by non-whites, yet, they don't realize that's exactly how minorities get treated by whites in the US. The surprising thing is, with a lot of whites that I talk to, they get really surprised when I tell them all the crap that I received just for being an Asian man in America. Some whites that I've talked too even believe racism is non-existent and only exists in the minds of some people.
