“I have a very good education, love cultures from over the world, speak 5 languages and so on, I always combat forms of racism...but since I've lived in HK, I can't help myself feeling this pulsing of hatred towards Chinese when:
- they eat with their mouth open
- belch, burp, fart at any given occasion with an air of satisfaction on their face
- they scurry like little rats for the tiny seat on the metro
- when they try to kill pedestrians while driving cars thru crossings
- celebrate their horrible nationalism at every occasion (Makes me wish Japan won the war!)
- and and and...
Then I discovered Taiwan and I made peace with the "real" Chinese culture.
What I found is that it is the lack of most simple civil manners in HK and on the mainland that make Chinese so revolting. Their lack of humanity as well since they only care about themselves (let's be real the family & children is just an expansion of the self).
I hate Chinese culture simply because in this country focused on material wealth, people have no sense for
- beauty
- love
- or the sacred & spiritual
...and believe that their wealth is the panacea for all their horror.
However, Taiwan shows that there is hope for that Chinese people can become humans again.
This discovery made me understand that I am not racist, moreover it helped point out the flaws in my own character: That I shoulp help people more, that I should create more beauty for all to share.
China is this: It plays a role, the role of the black hole, the anti-humanity, the sum of all human ugliness.
If we recognize this, then China will help us improve ourselves and be ready when we have to help it change
