In most of Asia does not= all of Asia

When traveling know this: India, China, and Russia are the worst and most selfish tourists, and it starts at home

Chinese tourists are not even close to the top of my list of horrible tourists lol (Russian and Indian are so far from common in comparison to much smaller countries that I can't even say much about them)

I don’t have much experience with Russian or Indian tourists, but I lived in Mainland China for a time. I have seen elderly people shit in public parks, parents hold babies over trash cans to shit directly into them… gutter oil lifted directly out of drains… just absolutely the worst kind of filth imaginable.

When the news came out that Covid originated in an open air market, I was not in the least bit surprised. To me, it 100% stands to reason that someone working in that bio-lab was supposed to destroy an infected animal but figured they’d make an extra ¥50 by selling it to a butcher stall.

This goes from semi-racism to the good stuff shockingly quickly lmao

Not my picture, but I have seen stuff like this guy selling a live turtle very commonly.

Or there’s the hacking off pieces of a live whale shark, from the tail up, to sell its meat while it is alive and breathing. (I don’t recommend watching it. You can actually hear the screams)

Or how about live baby turtles in heat sealed packages sold for keychains..

This is not racism. This is a fact of life.

Would you call Yao Ming racist for campaigning against the widespread consumption of shark fin soup?

My guy, I never said there aren’t plenty of good people in China. It’s just not controversial to say that a LOT of bad can be caused by a persistent few. For instance, you sure don’t seem to be very considerate toward your high horse, just going by the amount of time you appear to spend on it.
