A weird scene in Guangzhou subway, foreign kids hog the whole bench while Chinese passangers cramped together

Well I guess you feel daily predjudice for being a Muslim in some society is far more tolerable than the slim chance of you being shot by a cop.

The Mongols conquered the entire world to obtain the privilege of becoming Chinese.

We already can see what those kids become in future.

or maybe it has something to do with this

Same thing applies to the white people too, if there are enough seats very few people like to sit besides a foreigners, it's not racism, people have to right to sit where they like to sit.

True, white kids are no better, let's not go down the path of racism. I think what weird is the response of the rest of the passengers, no one dares to utter a sound to tell off those foreign kids.
It seems there's an invisible force to push all the rest of the passengers close together to stay away from that section of the car. herd instinct?

This is why China probably will never become an immigration country, Chinese people like to stick together with their own just like what we can see on that train, most Chinese think foreingers are like a totally different species.

The rivalry with US will make you one - or maybe not lets see.US was very insular before ww2 restricting immigration even from Europe. But rivalry with soviets forced us to engage with the world and changed everything.

Interestingly, the United States was the most powerful superpower at a time when it was most racist.

And now, everywhere is chaos, violence, looting, arson, homeless people… the crime rate is increasing at breakneck speed.

At the top : America's high-tech industries have been taken over by foreign elites from East Asia, South Asia

At the bottom : Americans have to compete with refugees, immigrants and their descendants in areas like dishwashing and cleaning.

Is this the great America imagined by American citizens 80 years ago?

lol, I think you would love this news

Those kids look normal to me. I would love to be with them. They are not being roudy but just being kids.

Frankly I don't even care and it's kinda cute when an american talks about islamophobia and rights of Muslims in china. While it has literally killed millions of people, including millions of Muslims and my own countrymen in so called friendly fire or collateral damage ?


It's like a hardcore pornstar talking about the naughty girl next door.

Not normal in China where children are expected to be respectful, self disciplined and well behaved.

What kind of discipline is that? Like physical or verbal?

I wasn't talking about daily prejudices against Muslims in China...I was actually thinking more of it in the West...but maybe you think it is not much of a problem and my assumption was wrong.

Maybe they don't want to come off as overbearing, is the simpler explanation. Asian kids usually are calmer too, so it could also have surprised them.
