Forget Chinese food, Stork looks more like he's trying the starving third world country diet. Male anorexia?

Just work out a lot and you can eat all the greasy fatty food you want.

I really don't get some people.


If someone would complain about Swiss Music or stereotype Swiss Foods. I wouldn't feel insulted at all, chances are high that he doesn't like Cheese, Milk and Potatoes. Why should anyone be insulted by that? I mean, I'm still staggered by what kind of music it makes to the top of our charts, just as staggered as I am that there are actually really are people over 10 years of age that like C, K or J-Pop.


As explained earlier in the thread, the Chinese are extremely nationalistic. I would assume much more so than Swiss people.


If i look in this thread, there aren't really many chinese complaining?


And yes, a good part of the swiss people, including me, are not very patriotic.


Surely you can't think that the Chinese people on this board are representative of the Chinese population in general? Especially since very few true Chinese actually bother to post on an English message board.


Hey Baubo, thanks for interjecting some much needed ethnocentrism into the mix. What exactly is the definition of a "true Chinese?" I'd love to hear your interpretation.


One that's born and raised in China? As opposed to Chinese Americans or Chinese who grew up in western society. Perhaps the word "true" is kind of bad. Maybe I should've said "native" instead.

Why is this ethno-centrism? I'm speaking of practicality. They don't post on English message boards because their English is NOT GOOD ENOUGH to post on English boards. And therefore they surf on websites in Chinese, which they're familiar with because it's their native language.

Do you think it's ethnocentrism if I told you that most true Americans don't post on Chinese boards? And that any American who do is not representative of US people in general?


Maybe it's a problem of English being your second language (if it is. I don't know much about you, unfortunately.) True really has a lot of bad connotations when you use it in the sense of "true" Chinese.

I don't want to be an anal-retentive jerk but there's no such thing as a "true" Chinese. Much like the Han ethnicity is a mutt-up of all kinds of different people. There's no such thing as Han ethnic purity.

Also, by your definition, I could find some Turkish Uigur guy who herds goats on Tian Shan and he would be more "Chinese" than a Han Chinese from California.

It's just a very foolish way of trying to categorize things. Chinese that are born outside of China can identify as Chinese people just as strongly as a Chinese person born in China. I get just as offended when someone calls China a communist dictatorship full of dog eaters and baby killers.

It's a very sticky topic and sweeping generalizations are probably not going to be accurate. I could cite numerous instances where Chinese are not "native" to a region. Would you say people from Yunnan are not "true" Chinese? That used to be Nanzhao territory in the Tang dynasty. Using the logic of being born in a certain place just doesn't work very well.

I could of course extrapolate what you're saying to a broader definition of immersion in Chinese culture, yada yada, about how genuinely Chinese someone is, but that is equally inaccurate. You would need to define what exactly is Chinese culture, and again I could cite numerous aspects of Chinese culture that are externally derived, such as farming rice instead of millet, Sichuan peppercorns coming from Portugal, Buddhism coming from India, Chinese people settling in the Yangtze River valleys, etc etc ad infinitum. Really, anyone who is a scholar of Chinese history knows that to accurately define what is genuinely "Chinese" would be an exercise in futility.


You know, just assume I said "Chinese" then. If that makes you feel better. This is just a message board. No need to make such a large amount of implications based on an off-hand comment about what kind of people would post on a forum about a game.

Regardless, if you want to discuss further about Chinese people, I wouldn't mind. But this is not exactly the thread to do it. And I don't exactly want to argue with a fellow Stork fan. There aren't too many of us on here.

-You can participate IEF again next year.
▲I heard that IEF will be in China next year and same with WCG this year, the winner of IEF will also have to go to China, this will be 2 years straight going to China. I am very concerned about H1N1 so I am not feeling comfortable leaving the country and plus I am dieting too, China have too much greasy food so it might affect my diet. Also, I would enjoy the music performances if the tournament was in Korea, but not so much in China. So a trip to China isn't all good (laughs).


LOLWAT, H1N1 is one topic, but food and music entertainment as reasons not to go to china to win 10,000 LOOOOOL

He didn't say that. He said that he'd prefer if the IEF was in Korea because of the music and food.
