chinese girls?

When i was away with cadets i asked my Korean friend where Richard was (my other friend) and he said 'i don't no all you english people look the same'

i know quite a lot about the Taiwan/China issue

Yes, certainly the taiwanese have their own identity. I speak from experience! you can't call a taiwanese persion chinese - they won't be offended, but they will just think you don't understand.

Well I think my grandfather would be offended. He and his family refer to those who can't speak Taiwanese as "foreigners." There's definitely a divide between the Chinese and the Taiwanese in Taiwan itself. It's just the way things are given the political and social circumstances.

Far from it, your friend can't differentiate between a flock of sheep and a band of humans. You are also the same.

As for Richard .... He can go suck his.

Your input is not required in the expansion of this thread.

Cheers.

Pardon, but this is what mainlanders get wrong.

People who speak Mandarin can NOT understand Taiwanese.

Taiwan has its own form of government and its own language, and the natives have lived there for ages. They descended from Polynesians that emigrated there thousands of years ago.

Seriously, there is a Taiwanese identity, wholly separate from the Chinese.

The Dutch even had Taiwan for longer than China did...

What are you on about wierdo?

hahaha

Wow, someone had a rough day at school.

So how did your grandmother stand with his patriotism? Seeing as she was Chinese.

Actually doesn't HK want to return to the UK? So yeah, I think HK might "hate" China too.

hahaha nice one traum

go and take a look at the so called taiwanese history... they never belonged to themselves, it's basicallly Japanese, chinese, dutch, chinese, japanese, chinese...

sorry darling, tough luck...

ps i'm not a "mainlander" but i do find it offensive for you to attack my gran

i understand that there is a divide. but i wouldn't say it was incredibly hostile. I mean most taiwanese people i've met just think that taiwan should be allowed to get on with its own business, i've never felt that they have a dislike for the Chinese.

And by Taiwanese, do you mean Minan?

Yes.

I don't like this look. Its eeeevil. Like black people with blonde hair, it just can never look natural.

People were saying, earlier, about how they find all chinese people/oriental people look 'alike'. I found this, when I was very young, as I lived in a port in Africa, and we got a lot of chinese sailors. At first, because I had never seen this race before, they all looked alike, but as I saw more, I began to differentiate. Its the same with white people, I find - when I first came to England all white people looked the same to me, and it took me a while to make sense of the different facial features.

A lot of ideas of attractiveness seem to come from lack of exposure. Sure, you may have seen some chinese (or any other ethnic minority that isn't highly represented in the UK) people, and some chinese people on the t.v. but you haven't had exposure to that race's ideal of attractiveness, or adjusted to their facial features. I think that I'm lucky to have been exposed to it at a young age, as I can now appreciate attractiveness in many different races.

sorry, not from what i've heard... they have a perfectly fine system where they don't have to listen to china and yet can enjoy the best of benefits...and most cantonese people say they are chinese... not british and certainly not "Hongkong-nese"

Just out of curiosity, what do you guys (and I mean 'guys') think of chinese girls?? (anything about them)

I go to an American International School, and although there's a whole lot of people from different backgrounds, all the American and Australian blokes the year above seem to have this attraction towards chinese girls, and most of them dating one. Do you find them attractive? Just curious. My best friend is chinese, but she says its just a coincidence, hm.....

~leah~

So how did your grandmother stand with his patriotism? Seeing as she was Chinese.

Ditto!

Man, no offence... but i feel sorry for her...it's like a jew marring a nazi...

no offence
