Nice cultural appropriation/neo-co lonialist approach to the Chinese race there

No, western standards of political correctness to not stand the world over. Trying to force them on other cultures makes you no different from the colonial leaders who did the same.

In China, I'm called 'ghost face' many times a week. The most common word for us foreigners is 'old outsider' or 'outside country person'. A spade is a spade. Language has a different concept.

When I first lived in China, many years ago, I worked as a teacher for a short time. In a spoken exercise one of the pupils called another student (a shy teenage girl) "fat". I was quite shocked and asked him to apologise, but the girl looked puzzled and replied "but I am fat".

Maybe think twice before you apply all of your biases on 1.6 billion people you know nothing about.

I dare you to go to Holland... they're even more direct (and liberal) there.
