There goes the neighborhood, for sure. The illegal Chinese, whom I refer to as “coolie Chinese”, are no-class uneducated petty criminals right from the gutters of China. They are the ones who squat near the curb to smoke cigarettes, sell illegal endangered animals for pets, run their own little economy among one another without taxes being collected, toss trash wherever it falls, refuse to learn English or assimilate (except to collect benefits), rummage around in peoples’ garbage cans to collect bottles for redemption, turn lawns into truck gardens, smoke endlessly, littering the sidewalks with butts, go around hawking pirated videos (sometimes right outside video stores!), and bring a new level to “lack of any class”.
When I lived in Elmhurst, there was an old Chinese woman who made the most disgusting sound, followed by a huge spit on the sidewalk, even in front of me while walking by.
I wondered what that was about... an insult or what?
One day she did that in the building lobby so I stopped and told her: Excuse me but in America that is disgusting and someone could easily slip on that (on the smooth stone lobby floor) and fall.
She obviously didn’t speak English and had no reply so I told her: Ching-chung-chi-chun-cho-ching, while pointing at her spit.
She then off loaded on me with a long Chinese reply. LoL!
I told her thank you.
