MEXICOWANDERER
Dec 13, 2018Explorer
Yotta hear my insensitive remarks about Huns, squareheads, krauts, heelclickers, etc. My 100% ancestry.
Do I get upset when someone first calls me gringo or guero down here. Of course not. I once ducked into a cantina down here a real one not some tourist joint.
"Ayyyyy GRIIIINGO!" came a drunken cry from somewhere in the dark depths of the edifice.
"No Soy Gringo!" (I am not a gringo!") I replied
(the sound of chairs scraping against tile)
"Soy PINCHE gringo" (I am a DAMNED gringo!)
Raucous laughter erupted over the sound of various snoring coming from beneath some tables.
I was grabbed then sat at a table while serving up handshakes, and getting clapped on the back. I found myself with several bottles of beer and a couple of slugs of brandy. "Do you know Fresno amigo, perhaps you have seen my brother there?"
I wobbled out three hours later to the lament of my acquired friends
Lin my acquaintance in China paused for a moment when I mentioned the Chinese have a (to them) quite derogatory slur against Caucasians BIG NOSES. I laughed and said "Is it still (a slur) if the Big Nose has a small nose?" It tore him up. Lin Zao Peng is the person who told me a company who did not spend 5000 Renminbi to have an instruction manual correctly translated to various languages was an insult to China. He said the Chinese insist strongly that foreign products have Mandarin, Wu, or Scihuan translated correctly or the people would shun it.
Like it or not Chinglish is a mild form of racism against western culture.
Suck it up. It exists in all forms. Mexicans are amongst the most prejudiced people on earth.
Suck it up.
