Well, I cannot know about the above couple, but a good handful of other incidents have identified the culprits as Chinese tourists.

Perhaps an increase in information gathering, and political consequences for countries that turn a blind eye?

well, then tourist who carved their name into the Egyptian temple was Chinese. For what its worth.

thats ridiculous millennial thinking, where ‘everyone is offended all the time’. The point of the leading statement was that the tone of the post should be taken not as racism, but simply as observational and with sensitivity. You’re too easily offended, useless mechanic. You’re gonna have a hard life if you actually…

So then what do you think would be a good way to culturally educate, so that the Chinese don’t face criticism or ridicule? How can the message be successfully sent, ‘Hey, you’re REALLY not supposed to touch stuff in HERE, even if its not behind glass, because it can be broken...’?

so you’re saying that it IS a cultural difference, and that Chinese tourists do have a bad eruption because of this. You further state that it is the Chinese nouveau rich who are really to blame, to the point of it being offensive to other Chinese people - but then you state ‘Still, it’s wrong to judge...’ - are you…

I dunno... did my question offend you?

its more than three articles. It was three articles in the past week or so. There have been many, many other instances. And as I responded in an above post, it apparently IS cultural, where many Chinese tourists touch and damage so often that the Chinese government had to intervene with education for their tourists.

well, I agree. And that why I didn’t (nor would ever) say something like ‘ why do all these fuckin’ Asians keep breaking shit in museums’ rather I asked if it was a cultural thing. Which apparently it is. A quick search on Google points out that Chinese tourists seem to have a disregard for the ‘don’t touch’ museum…

Take the example of the boats at the ‘Small World’ ride. In the states, when you get onto the boat you tap first onto the seat, and then down onto the floorboard. In Tokyo, they had to change the design of these boats so that you would step directly onto the floorboard. In Japan, it is considered highly offensive to…

yup. Im totally racist. I’m also part Chinese, but biologically, and not raised at all within the culture. I don't expect a pass, but just bringing up something for discussion.

I don't agree that they're weird. People are different when they come from different places.

I’m sure it can. But that relates to xenophobia and having an issue with said cultural nuances. Which I don’t. If I said something like ‘hey, these Asians are awful at museums and shouldn’t be allowed in’, I’d totally agree with you. But thats not what Im saying. Im simply wondering, to the hive collective, if these…

Yes. Thats the conclusion Im drawing. Perhaps in Asia its considered quite acceptable to touch things in museums. Im not sure, which is why I posed the question.

I don’t want to be perceived as racist - however...

We might be laughing, but its just as fun today as it was back then. Vanilla was pretty slick. I’d watch that clip all day long though, rather than watching ‘Cool as Ice’.

I see your terrible rap song and raise - considering were talking about the Turtles sequel.

THE HELL I DON’T!

Hell, I don’t mind Harrison Ford being old as Indiana Jones. Send him back into the 30's in a time machine for fuck’s sake and let him fight Nazis again. That I would be excited to watch! Whats he gonna do in the 1960's? Beat up hippies?

Why?
