It's weird how anti Chinese racism is just accepted to the point some bigoted censored can just say "Chinese culture XYZ" and expect to be taken seriously.
The "saving face" is am especially weird one, because no one anywhere likes to be embarrassed.
You might have a point if I had not lived there and married into a chinese family, which is where that statement comes from.
That's cute, which of the several thousand recognized Chinese cultures did you marry into?
There isn't a single unified one, anymore than theres a white culture or Indian culture.
Let's put it a different way, I hear it's just a part of black culture to show bravado at all times. Now if you correctly recognize that as a racist statement, you can recognize the your precious nonsense as the racist shit it is.
And marrying someone of a race doesn't make you automatically not racist towards that race, you 'i have a black friend' excusing ass.
Oh shit you're right, no one can do this and still parrot stereotypes
