i was watching the amazing race on tv last night [no, this topic should not be moved into entertainment] and on this one part...they were in china and all of the chinese taxi cab drivers wouldn't allow them to get in their cab. even if the taxi was empty, every single cab driver would tell them they can't get in. on many parts, the chinese people would laugh at the americans and wouldn't help them with directions. one time, a cab driver let the people in and took them to the wrong place. [it must've been on purpose, because he was laughing]
and i wanted to know... do people in china despise americans? why so? is there some specific reason why they don't like us? |

I think you're just...overreacting? I saw that episode too, I don't think it's because Chinese people hate Americans. What, wouldn't you laugh if people were having lots of trouble, and were quarreling with their signficant others?
Also, about the not helping thing, a LOT of Shanghainese people don't know English. They may have good intentions, but they can't help because of a language barrier. And the taxi...well, how come they were able to catch a cab after the task? I think it was definitely rush hour, not racism. And anyway, why wouldn't the taxi drivers like Americans? They are tourists, and they're going somewhere, and they're relatively easy to get money from. |
