I now see mental retardation is a prerequisite for entering the City Council. And I just thought lying and corruption were the only requirments. :loco: :loco: :loco:
Actually a large majority of them do not have one. They can’t change what they do not have.
And yes, they are super racist people, even a shade of darker skin is not tolerable. Locals talk about it openly about how much they hate the fact that dark skinned Indian and others are increasing in Taiwan; right at my face. I replied… wait couple of more years and Taiwan will be full of Indians 
. It was fun to see their face.
Are any Taiwanese racist towards us blue eyed blonde haired foreigners?
Yeah, the ones who spent some years abroad. 
Seriously, you do meet a fair number of older waishengren in Taipei who lived and studied abroad who are pretty contemptuous of westerners. Can’t say I always blame them.
Puppet: she wasn’t really doing a nazi salute in that picture, was she?
Somewhat OT, but I was in a taxi the other day listening to the driver’s usual right-wing talk show channel. Some hoarse-voiced politican comes on and does an excellent impression of the Fuhrer of the Third Reich - all in Taiwanese, of course, but the wife (shaking her head) explains that this guy is positioned as the DPP’s next presidential candidate. Anyone know more about this?
Yes. I’m not blonde and blue-eyed, but there are threads on that particular phenomenomenon.
There are some but they aren’t really racist as they are more like “why do these goofy looking misfits who couldn’t make it in their own countries all of sudden think they are important here?” Fortunately, only a small minority of the population thinks this way.
If these are not out-right racist, I don’t know what is.
