Re: Fun facts about Chinese neighbours
You aren't allowed to call them "spastics" any more, it's like "retard".Brewer wrote: ↑Fri Sep 15, 2017 8:21 am Excellent. I'm happy to hear racism doesn't exist anywhere, by anyone, towards anyone because there is only one race. One race with sub-divisions mainly based on nationality, culture, sex, religion.
Do be sure to tell the next spastic who uses the term "racist" to describe someone who has made a culture or nationality-based derogatory remark that they are wrong because there is no such thing as racism and as it's all cultural they all do it so can be castigated and sneered at for their behaviours without fear of opprobrium or sanction. Unless you call them chinks, or monkeys, or something because I suppose then everyone will lose their shit again.
So anyway, about those culturally drink sodden Irish, culturally lazy Mexicans and culturally car stealing black folks...

Re: Fun facts about Chinese neighbours
the northern chinese who predominately eat wheat call the southern chinese rice eating monkeys and stereotype them as lazy dirty and shiftless, much like the class system found in UK and India.

Re: Fun facts about Chinese neighbours
Its not a stereotype that the chinese in london love to gamble in betting shops, its a fact. You only need to go into one to see this. I have heard on here that KOW has lots of casinos, who are they for? locals?

Re: Fun facts about Chinese neighbours
Yes. I agree.
To be clear, the Chinese in question are Mainland Chinese. Hong Kong Chinese also find their (lack of) manners obnoxious.
As someone else pointed out, their manners are normal for mainland China.
And like some other countries where the inhabitants were closed to the rest of the world for a period of time, eg. Russians and East Europeans, Mainland Chinese have no idea about adjusting to exterior social norms now they are free to travel outside their country. The problem of integration is cultural and not racial.

I don't know where my new neighbours are from, but the door slamming started at 7am. I wish they spoke English so I could go and yell at them lol

Re: Fun facts about Chinese neighbours
Chinatown is just a small part of Soho. Loads of other businesses operate there. It's got the sleazy angle with the speakeasies, clip-joints and the gay Compton St, but it also has some of the best production and post-production operations in the world. You come across as being very provincial "charlie". Have you ever ventured south of the Watford Gap yourself?tightenupvolume1 wrote: ↑Fri Sep 15, 2017 4:18 pm Apart from SOHO (chinatown) the only time you come across chinese people in London is in a betting shop.

Re: Fun facts about Chinese neighbours
What? i know SOHO very well, worked all round the area with my uncle who was the local builder there when i was a kid ( he lived in Meard street' know it?). I also used to go to the Marquee in the late 60s, hung around the "Le Mcabre coffee bar when we used to "hop off" school. I drink in the "blue Posts when i am in the area.

Re: Fun facts about Chinese neighbours
Surely someone here knows how to say STFU in Mandarin. You could also try putting little signs in your building in Chinese saying 'Quiet period from 12 - 8am. Please dont slam doors, shout, or make noise in this time. 'At least you're clear about your expectations. 7am is not early in Cambodia though. Khmer neighbours can be just as loud.
Good luck.
