Take on Chinese Americans bluntness

I love Chinese Americans, I really do. Unlike some of their Asian
compadres they aren't pretentious, shy or boring and they can always
be trusted to tell it like it is. I caught a sign online the other
day for an all you can eat Chinese buffet which basically scolded
people for sitting there all day gorging on food. The beauty if this
sign is that the people most likely to try to take advantage of this
all-you-can-eat buffet are fellow Chinese folks. Still the bluntness
of it all is refreshing in a PC world

I have a buddy whose parents owned a dry-cleaner. He'd have a
thousand great stories but the best one was about a customer coming in
complaining about a stain on a pair of pants which didn't come out
after they were cleaned. Instead of offering to clean the pants
again his mother, a fresh off the boat Chinese woman, told her
customer

"You go to doctor and you die, you still pay". In other words, no
deal for you.

Forget this mentality as a business practice, you have to appreciate
the bluntness.

  1. Here's a blunt comment directed to the Chinese:

    "Why you no take shower? Dandruff. Oil. Sick. Disgusting. Fuck you. Take shower. Clean good."


    And another:

    "Why you so cheap? One penny no make difference for you. Why you fight over it like life and death? You stupid. Worse than Jew. Generous...be like man. Not like woman. Narrow mind. Fuck you."


    And another:

    "Why you dress like shit? So ugly. Red, gold, black, all shit. Shiny like shit. Your face shit and your clothes shit. Why so like shit? Fucking shit. Fuck you."


    Just a public service announcement.
