1. They don't seem to take care of their yards. If you see a DUMP of a yard, the owners are quite probably Chinese. Their yards also never seem to be watered so whatever plants are there are sad, dry and weed-ridden. This doesn't apply, of course, to those Chinese who might have gardeners.
2. They don't seem to take care of their houses. If you see a house that DESPERATELY needs paint and you're in a nice neighborhood of well-painted homes, the unpainted one probably belongs to Chinese.
In my opinion, and it's just an opinion, the Chinese WILL spend a ton of money on education--for their SONS. I don't ever have the feeling that they spend the same on their daughters. But, I don't know that.
Also, cleanliness COSTS and the Chinese don't want to spend money on it. It appears to be a waste of money for them. They WILL spend a TON of money on a new car or three, especially if numba one son wants a new car. I DON'T see the daughters driving around in ANY cars, old or new.
Conclusion: The Chinese and Americans have VERY, very different world views. When I used to go to the big fancy Chinese restaurants I was told never to sit by the wall, as the cockroaches will come scampering up the walls. I was to sit in the center of the room, FAR away from the kitchen.
By the way #1: the CIA's Chinese in America, are VERY different than the ABC's, American-born Chinese. The ABC's are pretty much like the rest of Americans.
btw #2: When the Chinese first came into the athletic arena their athletes didn't do very well. THEIR answer to that was that meat was very expensive to "grow" and their military got whatever meat there was. NOW, they say, their military AND athletes get whatever meat there is. Their athletes do VERY well now.
The yards of a lot of hispanics and blacks and rednecks could be called dumps too
“They don’t seem to take care of their yards.”
If you see a really great looking house with a perfect yard that is in foreclosure, it is probably a white american. If you see who will be buying that same house, it will probably be a chinese american.
If you see someone driving a fabulous new car dressed to the nines and who has a car payment over 1000 a month, that person is probably a white american.
If you see someone dressed like a homeless person buying a new car with all cash, that person is probably chinese.
Yeah, there are differences. I am abc (american born chinese), I pay cash for my cars, cash for my houses, my yard does look bad, I graduated from Stanford and have zero debt. I like my way better.
