Check this post out, folks.
You see?
The reason why the two gentlemen mentioned in bluewhale’s post got offended by the local Taiwanese is exactly the same reason why I got offended when the local English-speaking people try to greet me in Chinese.
Let alone those English-speaking people speak only three words of Chinese, while I speak full English to nearly native speaker level. If they do speak enough Chinese to make a conversation, then I probably won’t get offended so badly.
We are just people who don’t want to be treated differently in an environment where we look different from the locals.
Anyone with empathy shall understand what I’m talking about.
