In the front row of one show I watched I spotted 5 or 6 ladies of Asian persuasion all wearing their headscarves.They were riveted by the puerile carry on of the infidels who live amongst them. Great stuff.

It's not just Asians. I'm from Germany and I find it strange that people wear shoes in their houses here. It's not very hygienic I think.

I strongly agree. I can't understand how anyone can wear outside shoes indoors.
No shoes indoors here.

I don't wear shoes indoors as I just prefer being barefoot.
It probably is cleaner too

Yeah but Germany streets are scruffy. We have granite streets here so its grand!

Boskowski

Definitely. Imagine all the stuff your shoes come in contact with. I don't think I need to spell it out.

Then you give them a quick wipe on the doormat and later continue to work all that stuff into your carpets. Which then your kids crawl around on. Yuck.

The Thais have no bridge in their nose,and think us westerners are the same but get implants in our hooter, a lot of Thai hookers get nose jobs to look like us. In my travels around happyland I have seen some bad ones, which makes a good haggleing point.

Must be a Dublin thing. Around here, most people take their shoes off when entering a house. Or at least they'll ask "is it ok to walk on the carpet?"

I'm sitting in the lotus position right now, extremely drunk while having the durty secks with several brazen chungwans with my arse caked in more sh1t than Dennis O'Brien's accounts. I find it weird and gross that all Asians aren't doing similar.

Oscars Well.

So you get a discount if the person isn't attractive, I'll keep that in mind if I ever become a nasty creep and want to sleep with trafficked women in poor countries.

Many cultural quirks had a sound basis in health back in the day. The No Pork thing In the Middle East. Pork is very safe nowadays though. When you walked home through fields of animal **** and streets of human sewage, it was a good idea to take the shoes off when entering the house. No need nowadays but the idea is culturally embedded.

Been shown to be bullshít. Trichinellosis is more common in colder latitudes than in hot areas so eating pork meat in the middle east was no riskier than other domesticated animals.

I'm from Ireland and I find it strange that people in Germany enjoy pissing and shitting all over each other. It's not very hygienic I think.

And shellfish too? It's a bit too much of a coincidence that the two most likely foods to give you food poisoning both ended up being banned.

Sorry about that.

Same here - nobody needs street dirt tracked into their homes. I do put a lot of it down to how underheated Irish houses tend to be, though. Maybe they leave their shoes on to prevent frostbite.

He's not saying this is his personal belief, he's saying this is how Asian men view women(obviously a generalisation).

Alot of Asians seem to think Westerners have an enormous amount of B.O. and not necessarily from dairy, but from hairiness. Some Asian countries don't even sell deodorant.

I get your point and I agree with you. It is a bit unfair though in thread that starts as a huge generalisation to go in the middle of it and mock someone for generalising.

Hang on a second - you were the one that waded in and said "I am from Germany, but....", thereby removing yourself from the "Western" generalisation you were about to comment on. You cant complain about unfairness when you are being unfair yourself.

Boskowski

Ok fair enough. I imagine theres loads of people from my place who wear their shoes in the house. I probably should have said I'm a westerner too and if thats the Asian stereotype impression of us they probably have a point.

That kind of thread rarely leads to something good when it goes beyond the lighthearted.

That wasn't my view, i'm saying that that's the prevailing attitude towards prostitutes in traditional patriarchal society.

How do they feel about us drinking. I'd heard this before but coincidentally i was just reading this about drinking/hangovers.

Apparently, your genes also have a vote, as does your gene pool. Almost forty per cent of East Asians have a variant, less efficient form of aldehyde dehydrogenase, another enzyme necessary for alcohol processing. Therefore, they start showing signs of trouble after just a few sips—they flush dramatically—and they get drunk fast. This is an inconvenience for some Japanese and Korean businessmen. They feel that they should drink with their Western colleagues. Then they crash to the floor and have to make awkward phone calls in the morning.

I've heard (in this thread and other places) that there is a lot of drinking in places like Korea. is it that there's a lot of drink or that they just get drunk easy? And do they think we're alco's?

I think there's cheap and very strong alcohol to be found in Korea but it's more the working culture. It's expected for workers to follow their boss out to a heavy drinking session and then turn up to work a few hours later fresh and productive (often while the boss sleeps in and relaxes!). Plus, the stress of work there and just the general pressure of socialising with colleagues all come together to form a perfect storm of messy, unhealthy drinking.

Asians don't in fact smell when sweaty.

I don't for a moment believe that Asians find all westerners look the same. There are larger phenotypic differences between individual westerners than Asians. Hair colour. Eye colour. Facial shape. Noses. Ear lobes.
