Hey number-one-son you sound like the only son, a typical Chinese spoiled rug rat only son who is used to getting everything his own way. I hope you do get in some Chinese face and hope he takes yours off for you.

If you do not like where you are, move.

I am sick and tired of you whiney little boys complaining about everything in China and everything Chinese. Go HOME, if they will have you back.

No one is forcing you to stay where you are so unhappy. And take that snivelling little woman with you.

pay no attention to Linda, she/he is a troll who enjoys getting rises out of people.

Seth your little name calling tirade is beneath you, or is it? I have been called far worse by far better people than you, so have at it "john."

#1 son you missed my point completely. Why am I not surprised?

You foreign men go abroad looking for a broad, find one, marry her, and then complaint about her culture, her country, her .............

Why the heck did you marry a Chinese? You honestly think you are going to change China? Get real. When you married China you accepted her as she is. Warts and all.

As to your wife, it is pretty common knowledge that Chinese have no respect for one of their own marrying a foreigner and that she would be the subject of abuse if she remained in China. Dids she expect that her rich foreign husband would take her out of China as so many expect?

My point is why do so many of you have the same complaint as you so state and this thread bears proof of? It is because so many of you have or had the wrong expectations. So stop bitching and live with what you have done or go. You will not change anything in China except the respect your wife once had is now gone forever.

Wake up and get real.

Hey Missus Linda- your tag line "Before you judge me walk a mile in my shoes" is pretty ironic, don't you think? You seem to be capable of little else except passing judgement on people in this forum.

Why not spend more time working on improving your English grammar, and less time shrilly calling anyone who disagrees with you a pimp?

LL - troll means someone who puts out something deliberately offensive in order provoke a response and generally get under people's skin. Ever hear of trolling for bait? Same idea.

"foreigndevil" how appropriate a name! You "men" make me sick.

gray sometimes the truth is offensive but if the shoe fits it must be guilty or was that if the glove does not fit you must acquit?

To this Linda person:

Exactly how old are you?

You make my grandparents look like liberal leftists.

Your comments are more racist than the comments on the street.

And remember: Not all of us men who marry Chinese are under the same category. And not all of us came here for the purpose of marrying a Chinese. It was a natural thing that occurs when you stay in one city for a long time.

I have been in Shanghai for 2 years and I have resisted marrying a Chinese girl. Of course it is still illegal in China for a woman to marry a woman but even if I could, I wouldn't. I prefer one night stands myself.

Less mess to clean up later.

Beerdang,
How would Chinese feel reading these postings? Probably some will take the predictable and tiresome reply: This is China; this is our culture; others, the ones that truly give a damn, will think differently, and it is the later that I stay for here in China. I have many, many Chinese friends and colleagues and family--so I will tell you straight to the point how they feel: THEY ARE ASHAMED. They are ashamed that their Chinese brothers and sisters are ignorant, backwards, and racist. These Chinese who behave and say insulting things to foreigners and to Chinese whom socialize together have no shame whatsover in demonstrating their overt behaviors. So, my Chinese friends and associates know deep down why China receives such a negative view overseas--especially when these racist behaviors occur on an intimately personably level rather than in the foreign press. And especially when the PRC government has made no efforts whatsoever to educate it own people about this disgusting behavior and the ramifications of these behaviors upon its society, its culture, its view within the modern world.
I love the Chinese people who have demonstrated gentleness, toleration, and kindness here. I especially love my Chinese students, and I love teaching here where I am appreciated for my knowledge and what I can bring from the outside world to them. What I can't understand is that some Chinese would rather smear their faces in 5000 years of pig manure, and try to revert back to looking like ignorant corn fed idiots, and no, despite some postings to the contrary, which I attribute more to some kind of cultural relativism, the racism in this country isn't even close to what it was in the states fifty years ago. It's a great deal worse.
China needs to take charge, make up its mind about modernization and define it, and then ask themselves, just where do foreign teachers play a part in their closed society. Eventually, it has to come to that, or China and its people will continue to be looked at with sour disgust--although that maybe too much of a generalization to swallow for some of us foreigners who teach here, the tragedy is we would probably understand because we have to live with the s*** everyday here.
