foreigner living in the prc #2: speaking the language/Chinese stereotypes about foreigners

[davidpdx]

4. That one gave me a good chuckle

Dealing with stereotypes is a little hard too. imagine, if you are a guy, standing at the urinal with men on either side looking over the divider and staring at your junk while you pee saying "好大" (very big). i've turned a few times and said "你可以有照片" (you can have a photo) while still peeing. Apparently, men in this country have all come out of the closest. i have no problems with it, but not while i'm peeing please.

other stereotypes involve relationships. foreigners only want sex. foreigner all have diseases. where foreigners live, mixed breed babies (洋娃娃 follow. foreigners are all 花花公子 (playboys), well in my case, that's true, until i met the girl now that i am going to marry. i was know as “强壮帅哥外国鸭子在1904号" (strong handsome man whore in #1904).

If some guy stared at my junk I would say to them "unless you are going to marry me, we should not be getting that personal".

As you probably know from experience the stereotyping in Korea happens as well. The "netizens" write stories about how foreigners are all a bunch of diseased womanizing animals. Even some of the TV networks have published horrible shit.
