Will always remember this online conversation:

Me: From Singapore
Him: Oh, you wouldnt be so happy once china comes and take over.
Me: Huh? Why would China want to take over Singapore?
Him: You are Chinese rite? Therefore China wants to take over!
Me: You need to refresh your geography.
Him: MY geography is good.
Me: sigh....

Was on the Green Tortise Tour of USA.

On the bus, was a nice young Taiwanese Descent Australian.

Very Cute, very young & very smart.

He had a lot of nice thing to say about Singapore wheres i was the one dissing Singapore.

His favourite description of Singapore: Its Clean & orderly. His Diss: Hot.

And he only finally Diss Singapore is when I brought up the recent Singapore's Execution of that Vietnamese Descent Australian that was trafficking drugs. Laughing

And just the other day. I was keeping company of my baby neice and nephew at their gym class.

An elderly Caucasian spoke to me in Taiwanese accented Mandarin. And he knows Singapore!

I had a merry conversation with him where he tells us of how he actually approved of that canning of that American Teenager Michael Fay for his Vandalism in Singapore 10-15 years ago.

My sister later, was trying to stop me sharing this tidbit about Singapore.

Singapore is most likely the only country with the Law that: Oral Sex without Intercourse is ILLEGAL in Singapore.

There are stereotypes everywhere Laughing

Like what my American friend once said,"We like to think of Chinese as an Asian who pronouces 'Fried Rice' as Fried Lice' and you Asians like to think of us Americans as white trash living out of a trailer."

Anyway we were talking about 'chinks' and 'red necks' so it kinda lead to that.

People stereotype because it is easy to assume. For example, going out with Kan_i and his wife is funny coz they are chinese but can't speak chinese and everyone in Singapore wants to speak to them in chinese Laughing

And not all Singaporeans and Malaysians can speak and understand Chinese well. SO told me one funny incident where he had to talk to this Beijing customer about the repairs they want them to work on. I was like "..... You have no Chinese colleagues in your team?" He said yes there are but they don't understand the PRC's heavy Beijing accent and couldn't make out what he was saying. Anyway my SO said the PRC could not help staring at him throughout the whole meeting especially when my SO spoke to him in fluent mandarin Laughing

Rhonda SG

Actually, I've met lots of very interesting people from all walks of life in my job and I must say that I love the poor and humble over the rich hoity-toity folks. Razz

A British colleague, who's been in Melbourne for donkey years actually told me one night when we sat down for a chat that "here, they are more class conscious than we were back in Britain, bloody hell! You wouldn't think it'll be as bad, but I tell you, it's worse!" (I love her Brit accent! Especially when she says "Bloody Hell!" Laughing )

Now, that was something I didn't expect to discover here, because we tend to think of Aussies as 'easygoing', but now that I work and live in their midst, I'm starting to SEE. Razz

Rhonda SG

As I read your post, I nod my head so vigorously in total agreement with the points you have made that I almost cramped my neck! Laughing

I truly hate how they lump ALL Asian-looking people together. Mad We are NOT the same! Oh for goodness' sakes! Rolling Eyes

But it's alright... we have to forgive the ignorant! Twisted Evil
