"Never once did I say I hated living in China. It's quite natural to rant about such annoyances as those I've posted on my site when you're living in a country that is so backwards as what you are accustomed to. I suggest you take a look at Talk Talk China or Peter's China blog. There's no shortage of Waiguoren who continually feel aggitated by the experiences encountered in China."

It's the way you address the people that you're so against. That's what racism is. If they feel agitated, they can leave, no one is forcing them to live there.

"Sorry to say, but I have several maps from China and every single one of them has labled America as "meiguo""

Again, Mei-Guo is phonetic based. America, the "ME" in America is MEI. If you don't get that, that's your problem. Meiguo is a short name for United States of America, there is a much longer official name for the USA in Chinese if you've ever bothered to look it up.


"I don't follow your posts except when they are directed towards me. I specifically asked you several times when we were debating the beer issue before which part of China you were from and you NEVER gave me a direct answer. Instead, you continually stated that you were from a city in the "southern part of China". Perhaps it is you who has they short memory."

Show me the post that i wrote where I said i am from southern China? Show it, or shut the f--k up.


"You want to talk about racism, you don't have the slightest idea until you've spent some time as a foreigner living in China, married to a Chinese woman. I can't even count the number of times that I and other foreigners have been referred to as a monkey. It's not uncommon at all for foreigners who are married to Chinese women to be assaulted in China. Hell, three Chinese businessmen attacked a foreigners (Chinese) wife while their buddies held him down. Then they sped off in a taxi."

If they are as racist as you are on your blog, then I can understand why people would do such things. Again, no one is forcing you to live there.

Just what I thought, you have no idea what racism is. By your definition you're current attitude is also racist.
 
For your reference, racism is defined as:
 
A form of discrimination based on race, especially the belief that one race is superior to another.
 
If I called you a "Chink" or a "gook" or if I refused to do something for you that I would do for another person on the basis that you were Chinese, that would be racism. Criticising someone for their mannerisms, behavior or their poor hygeine is not racist.
 
Now. Put up or shut up. Point out where I have made racist comments on my blog. Without changing the definition of racism to fit your own agenda, you can't do it.
 
Again, Mei-Guo is phonetic based. America, the "ME" in America is MEI. If you don't get that, that's your problem. Meiguo is a short name for United States of America, there is a much longer official name for the USA in Chinese if you've ever bothered to look it up.

 
What I am saying is that you will not hear anyone in Mainland China speak or write anything other than Meiguo, nor have I seen it written in text any other way.
 
BTW, in a previous comment above you stated that I don't know as much about Chinese as I though and just for the record I would like to point out that I have never claimed to be an expert on the language at all. In fact, I stated that I'm only a 3rd year student in the language.


Show me the post that i wrote where I said i am from southern China? Show it, or shut the f--k up.
After taking the time to search for those comments, it seems that I did get it mixed up. You did state that you were from Taiwan, but you also said you had lived somewhere in southern China. You just never said where.


If they are as racist as you are on your blog, then I can understand why people would do such things. Again, no one is forcing you to live there.
 
WTF? You can understand why so many Chinese people are racist and assault Chinese women who are married to foreigners?
 
 
Incidentally, I notice that you seem to take a "racist" (by your definition) tone  with the majority of posters here on FR that make any criticisms on China. YOu also tend to act as if you're the only one who knows anything when it comes that topic.
