actually to be fair, even though i am not pro-china, and does
not like china, their way of acting could be their culture. and it
just so happens that their culture is different, if not, opposite
of what is expected in western society, which to a certain amount,
our society is modelled after...
that doesn't necessarily make their culture any less, does
it?
it simply means we are different, that's all.
but yes, i do not like china and their values... but the above is
what i believe we should accept if we want to be objective and
fair.
think abt this-- the chinese goes to a western restaurant and has
to use forks and knives, which unfortunately, isn't his strongest
suit. singaporeans (who like to feel good about themselves by
pointing out others' shortcomings, all too often, all too
selectively), are quick to label them "suaku". On the contrary when
you see an ang moh using chopsticks clumsily in a local setting, no
one would label him "suaku". some of you here may even find it
endearing.
are you all sick in the hear or something?
and by the way, just because our society is modelled on western
norms, unfortunately all too often, out society emcompasses the
worst of east and worst of west.
too bad,.
