First of all I'm not generalizing. What I say is purely based on my experiences. Experiences may differ. Im not racist, infact I love China as a country (I want to visit again sooner than later) and I think that many chinese are good honest persons, especially the elder more talkative and the young people from the big cities (especially Shanghai youngsters seem very "western" for a lack of a better word). But there is many that are not. Its cultural, imagine the history of the chinese. Having empathy and having the balls to take a stance would at some points in history have cut your lineage short in china. Its actually kind of funny that you accuse me of generalization, since every single chinese I have met in China referred to me as "Englishman" and wanted to take pictures with me because i had "jew hair"

You are describing every player who was a member of a group as having similar characteristics, based on your experiences with (presumably) the subset of those players you've encountered. I'm not weighing in on whether you're right or wrong, here, just remarking that you seemed to be demonstrating similar behaviors to those you were complaining about. It's possible to stereotype or overgeneralize about cultures and people in ways that are not negative. I'm also not (intentionally) suggesting that your observations of behavior are accurate or inaccurate, or that the relevant people weren't engaging in the same behavior, just that the grouping of a complaint about people overgeneralizing with defining of the people doing the grouping as members of a very large group was quite striking, to me.

  No I described my general experience in a certain game, after a specific market was opened. Of course it was a subset, I met like one or two super cool chinese players, even had a few chicken dinners, but the overall experience for me was not worth it after the chinese flooded the game, I and many others simply stopped playing. How is what I say here similar to what what im complaining about? Am I referring to all chinese dog eating communists? Am I implying I shot them promptly in the face ingame for their gear, because they did it to me? Yes its possible to stereotype and overgeneralize in a positive way, I can say lot of positive things about China and the chinese, but not really when it comes to online gaming culture, sorry! Its just a general problem with mixing regions like that, similar things could be said about russians in the EU region of CSGO etc..
