Is China in the basket of deplorables?
Only common sense.
Am I correct in recalling that several years back, one of the major companies supplying map information for travelers had a high-crime overlay, and that they were brow-beaten into pulling it?
China doesn’t care about political correctness.
Go Google how they treat muslims...
I am an old, bald white guy. I pulled into a Pakistani run convenience store in another state for gas. It was obviously not a great neighborhood. A sign on the pump, which was not equipped for credit cards read, “All pumpers must pay first.” I went into the store and I could see the clerk was busy but he asked what I wanted. I wafted my wallet in the air and said, “pre-pay for gas.” He frowned, pursed his lips, waved me off and said, “that’s only for black people.”
It took a moment to recover from that one. Wow. Okay, it’s a bad neighborhood. But he obviously had no clue how much trouble he could get into by saying that.
“London is generally a safe place to travel, however precautions are needed when entering areas mainly populated by Indians, Pakistanis and black people,”
Nothing untrue here. Facts are racist.
Strangely, those are the same precautions I take when I go “Up the Smoke”.
Sound advice from Air China.
Is this bad advice?
I generally follow that advice even here at home...as do most people. Even Jesse Jackson!
They said it wrong. The correct statement is: “Chinese guests in London should respect the culture and customs of London’s black population and should avoid intrusions into their closely held neighborhoods.”
Sounds like sound advise. Many muzzies are deplorable racists.
Does the magazine have an entry for Chicago?
Strange. I have been applying that advice to myself for the last 68 years! Be aware of your surroundings! BE VERY AWARE!
Also good advice for visiting New Orleans.
I think we should conduct an experiment. Take 5 liberal college professors and send them into three neighborhoods at midnight. One white, one Hispanic, and one black. Let’s see the results.
What’s racist about the truth....I would say the same about the inner cities of the USA, too...
One gets to celebrate more birthdays by heeding their advice.
I wonder what the author would have to say about NYC or Chicago?
The safest city to walk around in evening after sundown I have come across during my travels on 4 continents, is Singapore. There is virtually no street crime, no vandalism, no graffiti, No drugs, no gun crimes there. The population of Singapore is a mix of Chinese, Arabs and Indians.
This proves one thing. Public safety is mostly a result of government policies. In Singapore drug dealers receive death penalty (warning signs are everywhere), Vandals are flogged in public, and rioters are promptly deported.
Singapore has the biggest concentration of millionaires. Every 6th citizen is a millionaire.
The Chinese don’t give a rat’s *ss about Western PC crapola, so they tell the truth and everyone goes into a politically-motivated fainting swoon.
You gotta love it.
“In a time of universal deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act.” George Orwell
Time for a quiz.
Generally speaking, who is safer, a Black Man walking through a predominately White Neighborhood or a White Man walking through a predominately Black Neighborhood.
Just asking. Again Generally Speaking, there are always exceptions to any situation.
