Hmm, i find the deviation a bit funny.
Clearly, heng was stating that the mainlanders and hong kongers behave in the same fashion. I am not sure how this link to HK's colonial past and its status as China's territory now.
Anyway, sometimes i walk along the streets and I thought that I am living in India or China. You know what I mean. Thats ok. Besides the nasty PRCs we met in SG, i must say the term i will use on PRCs in Singapore is anti-social. -
Only the less informed people love making sweeping generalizations based on flimsy evidence. You said that most China girls like money and so they marry Hk guys? Who are these China girls and who are those HK guys? Are they representative of the respective groups you are commenting on?
The same goes for your disparage of your Chinese colleagues. What makes you think you can make inferences about the rest of China based on what you observe in your colleagues?Originally posted by I-like-flings(m):hong kongers dun really like china ppl.. especially the gals.....their feeling now is that... most china gal only like money so married to hk guys.. and at the same time that mean they have less hk guy to choose from. so they not happy... and the china gal dun like hk gals too.. think they very struck up and dun love being part of china now as they still dun speak chinese.. haha... but most the china ppl i work with can really make u vomit blood everyday.....so trust mi.. those u are seeing in sg or overseas are already those elite already... wait till u see those still in china... wah lau... -
u just have to ask any hk gals what they think about china gal and u will know the answer...and what i said it hk gal feel that china gal only marry hk guy coz they love their money.. i never say i feel that...Originally posted by dreameryb:Only the less informed people love making sweeping generalizations based on flimsy evidence.

Staying in enclaves of one's own kind seems to be a universal human trait and certainly is not something Chinese alone are guilty of. I doubt the Singaporeasn in Australia or America mix easily with the locals. People have an innate tendency to regard with suspicion others from different racial and cultural background. On the other hand, you may know that some Londoners are quite xenophobic and would not like to mix with foreigners to begin with.

They also tend to mainly socialise amongst other chinese. Like seriously, if thats the case, whats the point of leaving china to study overseas? lots of chinese for them to socialise with back home. They will almost refuse to mix outside of their PRC clique.[/b] -
Just what makes you "vomit your blood"? Care to specify? Sometimes when people have certain pre-existing bias, then everything they see or hear will make them "vomit blood". I can imagine that...Originally posted by I-like-flings(m):u just have to ask any hk gals what they think about china gal and u will know the answer...and what i said it hk gal feel that china gal only marry hk guy coz they love their money.. i never say i feel that...

Those who do look down upon another group are those less confident about themselves. They need to assume a patronizing attitude over others to fill the void inside and feel good about themselves. This is at least part of the story.Originally posted by huaqing:i noticed that some Singaporeans despise PRCs although they did nothing wrong. Why are they despising them?

Not depise, but i do not generally hold them in high regard. As i have said before, one must be very very careful when dealing with them. They have no respect for rules, and will try every and any way to cricumvent the rules to suit thier needs. In fact, many of them are very proud of that trait.
In fact, many of them reminds me of Sinagpore in the early 80s. People boasting that they have broken the rules and have not been caught and are therefore more 'intelligent' than the 'stupid' people who made the rules. -
speak for yourself. I mix fine with the locals. Although maybe it is a trait of chinese people in general to be anti-social outside of their race.Originally posted by dreameryb:Staying in enclaves of one's own kind seems to be a universal human trait and certainly is not something Chinese alone are guilty of.

and the londoners who are xenophobic? The PRCs of course. or do u mean the locals? yes some. but nowhere as numerous as the PRCs. -
this is like denying that the PRCs don't look down on non-PRC chinese and non-chinese. Maybe u'd like to explain that look of distain most of them like to give them moment they hear u're not from PRC.Originally posted by dreameryb:Those who do look down upon another group are those less confident about themselves.

I always think that people should guard against making sweeping generalizations especially when they are commenting on human behavior. A cultural group or a nation is not a monolithic entity with no further distinctions within. The way people behave and carry themselves is influenced by numerous factors such as their educational background, familial upbringing and social, economic status. This amounts to the simple fact that people are different. The traits you observe and come to loathe in a small group of people cannnot logically be extended to the entire group unless you can prove that the observed small group is significantly representative.
Simply that some Chinese nationals evade rules does not mean that all Chinese nationals do so. By saying that you don't hold them in high regard because they do not respect rules, you sound as if you have known them all.Originally posted by lwflee:Not depise, but i do not generally hold them in high regard.
