If I'm not married and an attractive girl that I can possibly score with wants to meet me at 7.30pm at a bar on Saturday, and a guy( attractive too ) wants to have a few brewskis with me at the same time, I know who I'll choose.

Thank you for proving my point. You see now what I mean. Things like this are for you transparent or hard to imagine to be true (like with the jumping queue example).



Assume sets:Sporkin wrote:Anyone of you saw the video of the Indian guy who got rejected by an Indian girl and then got his Caucasian guy friend to prank her? I was reading the comments and how some of them said the girl's rejection to date anyone Indian is racism( against her own race ), others mentioned it is her choice and preference. So how does one's race based preferences reach the point where it IS considered racism? Is there a line drawn in the sand or just shades of grey. Perhaps its another 'ism....

I don't think they will mind, no one else is dating them.Sporkin wrote:Those poor poor women, I prefer to think of it as not inflicting upon them the particular acquired taste that is me![]()
Of course I can distinguish between one off incidents and re-occurrences, not all westerners dirty the table or have bad habits ( its the exception than the norm) in the same way vice versa for say Asians.x9200 wrote:Raj, really, you disappoint me. You are saying you can not distinguish between statistically significant number of occurrences and something that is more like incidents? Go out and talk to some Westerners and ask them whether my points are valid. I bet most Westerner would have strong reservation on putting some dirty remains onto a table covered with pristine fabric. Now, go to a Chinese sea-food restaurant, middle-end and see what happens there.
Besides, these were only some admittedly shallow examples. The true cultural issues may arise around mentality related problems as of the the jumping queues. The women I know would found such behaviour not acceptable while for you it looks it is something even worth personal reward.

bgd, you are so mean!
I was at a popular Chinese sea food restaurant the other day... I saw what you described.I can't say I would do such a thing like staining a nice tablecloth, but some others have no qualms about it.x9200 wrote:Raj, really, you disappoint me.

it's not about not having qualms .. it is a 'when in Rome' thing ..rajagainstthemachine wrote:I was at a popular Chinese sea food restaurant the other day... I saw what you described.I can't say I would do such a thing like staining a nice tablecloth, but some others have no qualms about it.
but its a strange uneasy feeling to stain a good tablecloth..ecureilx wrote:it's not about not having qualms .. it is a 'when in Rome' thing ..rajagainstthemachine wrote:I was at a popular Chinese sea food restaurant the other day...

Every Chinese "Restaurant" expects clients to put the bones and stuff on the table cloth, which will be replaced when the customer leaves .. that's a very local thing ..
I have asked for a side dish to put the bones and the crew normally give me a funny look and say I must leave it on the table ..
