I think they are eqaully bad.
In fact, I hate people who love making comments about strangers. I donât make friends with people like that.
Making random comments about random strangers is a rude behavior. Even if the comments are good, itâs still inappropriate.
All countries should do that for sure.
ABCs, CBSs, and BBCs may or may not face the same number of troubles, microaggresions, or racism as I did as an International travler.
As you may have known, in many Western countries, you use districts/neighborhoods/zones to divide different ethnic, religious, social-status groups.
(In Taiwan, thereâs no such a thing, at least not so obvious or definite.)
If they spend most of their lifetime in their own wealthy neighborhoods, socialize with only their own people, and even marry only their own people. Then, they may not face as many troubles, microaggresions, or racism as I did.
I think thatâs why I always got stared at and made nasty comments against when I explored new places in the West.
I accidentally crossed the invisible line to enter some non-Asian zone. So, the local people there thought I was wrong to cross the line, so they were rude and hostile against me. That may be a reason why.
Another reason may be that I always went to the local nightclubs to hook up with the local women, and the local men didnât like seeing foreign men taking away their women.
In sum, I think, if some ABCs, CBCs, BBCs say that they have never encountered troubles, microaggresions, or racism, it must be that they only live in their own comfort zone/bubble, so racist people could hardly hurt them.
P.S.
Schools or workplaces are the most peaceful places. Even the worst racists would keep their mouths completely shut when attending schools or going to work, so going to schools or working in the West do not necessarily increase the chance to encounter troubles, microaggresions, or racism.)
This is a huge human right violation. The rights of foreign tourists of different race override the rights of locals?
Racist is a big name. Imo, âMaybe they are talking about Chinese, though I donât understand their languageâ cannot be enough reason to call someone racist.
I stopped talking about people using languages which I didnât understand long ago.
Recently, I only talk about people speaking English who stared at me and made comments behind my back. They talked to each other in English, so I surely understood every word they said.
âlongâ is subjective. This thread itself is not so old for me. But, yeah, itâs definitely better not to be so suspicious about every word with chi sound.
Isnât that exactly what you are doing?
Yes. But donât imagine the average British pub-goer knows or cares about such subtleties.
Not at all because there are tourists literally everywhere. I love the general vibe of the city. Definitely had a better impression of the UK than Italy. And I did notice keep on running into people who spoke Russian, or maybe they were Polish, I canât tell because I havenât heard Polish before. In some restaurants we dined also noticed the waiter (Caucasian) not speaking proper English which was kind of unexpected, clearly immigrants. And youâre right the tube was quite a shocker.
As a traveler or minority in some places youâll bound to take some bad wrap by misrepresentation from others before you. Donât read too much into it. Youâll also likely benefit from those before you. From Taiwan? Yeah Taiwan! Yes, we did run into some circumstances like this as well.
Wow, what excitement I missed while ignoring this thread!
Congratulations! But what happened to 4th?
Sorry, my bad. 4th world flooded, devastated place I come from. Where people do not care where you are from or what you look likeâŚyour money is what matters. Where chinos are made fun for their hair but respected for their ability to make money.
Why would people make fun of chinosâ hair? Whatâs wrong with shiny black hair?
Iâve never heard this either. I know comments on the eyes. But never hair. Itâs pretty much the same as anyoneâs hair that also black.
Because the fashionable cut, at least in our part of the world for kids and Asian adults is either the WuGeLiang or the Iron Scrub Brush.
Freedom of speech isnât the main thing, itâs the only thing.
Do you want to live like a caged animal, cowed into submission, just getting by, plugged into the âcollective consciousness,â afraid of the hammer that will nail you down?
It is decidedly so
Okay then.
