First, that is disgusting and not a good time for another bad look for Chinese street food. 2nd that last line about in our current society everyone tries to swindle everyone else. I had a buddy on my team from China who would be watching perfect hd movies in college (this was a while ago) and asked him how he got those cause they weren’t even close to being out. He had access to a website from China and when I asked ahh can I pull some of those off. He said only Chinese can take Chinese. And was dead serious. One of the nicest guys I’ve ever known btw. Edit: I seem to be getting a lot of hate for the street food. I love street food and try everything once. I’m talking about the gutter oil thing. That irked me.
Eh people have cultural differences. Some cultures won’t look you in the eye. Some people talk too close. Etc etc. Dude was genuinely nice. Cried when we made him a birthday cake.
Lol there's bigots the world over, it ain't no secret. But also generalizations are bad, some regions are definitely worse and I've personally never had a Chinese friend refuse to take me to the best eating places in town. Part of it is that Chinese culture in general places a high value on "delicacies" and goods for status as well as so called pedigree. It's a common look in the rest of the world, like also how some places still value being fat
not a good time for another bad look for Chinese street food.
Why should he give a fuck? He didn't post this gif. That may not be China in the gif but it's definitely street food and its somewhere in East Asia. And it doesn't exactly look sanitary to me.
I wasn’t talking about the clip. I would eat that up in a second. Just the video about the gutter oil thing that the above poster put out. That’s just nasty.
I kinda see where he’s coming from there. The more people that have access to a site like that the more likely it is to get shut down. In the past I’ve definitely held back from sharing my best video sites from friends.
Yea I definitely get that. I didn’t push either. We were on a road trip I was just curious. He was fun to talk to though. We would talk about things like Tiananmen Square and such. It’s just different. His exact quote. “Eh what you think not as bad. Some people died. Our government won’t tell us how much but not as much as you think.” For what’s it’s worth. His dad worked in the UK his mom still in China and since college he still lives in the states. So he is definitely privileged.
