To counter your rather tasteless and problematic description of Chinese students with my own anecdote:
During my MSc I studied alongside numerous Chinese people (some of whom are now my work colleagues), all of whom exhibited none of the antisocial characteristics you describe. I also witnessed and heard of the racist things people sometimes said to them (cartoonish ni haos, dog-eating comments, etc). Those were gross and so is your description. Really, students from China will dilute the reputation of your degree?!
- Chris2048 11y agoWhy tasteless and problematic? Do you think it's biased/untrue? Racial slurs ("dog eating") and observed behavior (littering) are very different things. > Really, students from China will dilute the reputation of your degree?! full context: > not kicking them out or punishing them for what they did negatively impacted everyone's college experience, and will continue to dilute the reputation of my degree.
- Dr_tldr 11y agoYour selective and inaccurate editing of the host comment is dishonest,and the emotionally charged adjectives you use make it sound like you're more interested in virtue signaling than having a discussion. The mistake you're making is that you think one anecdote cancels out another and makes it invalid. Both anecdotal experiences are probably true. Anyone urging us to reject one recounted experience as "gross" and "problematic" is in favor of shutting out information that might be accurate but doesn't fit a preconceived agenda. In other words, not just a liar, but someone actively pressuring others to deny their own experiences. I can't think of a worse person than that, no matter what worthy cause they think it's in the service of.
