Chinese. (Mod note Post 1)

kneemos

How well does the Chinese community integrate into small town Ireland?
There's usually only a handful of them,do they feel isolated?
May be talking gibberish but I kinda feel sorry for them sometimes.

Mod note: drop the stereotyping, the generalizations and the racism. This is the only warning you're getting.

They can be racist themselves when it suits, a Chinese lad used to come in to the bureau De change in the travel agents I worked in back when I was a student.

He'd come in at the same time each week with the same amount of yen, which he would change into pounds.

Anyway, one week he was in, and handed me the same sum of yen, and I handed him his sterling, which he then counted.

(yen had fallen in value pretty steeply that week) anyway, your man counts it, then starts tapping the glass at me, pointing at his money, and "yo, why less this week"???

" fluctuations " I said, and shrugged my shoulders.

Next thing I see is him raising his middle fingers, and shouts" Fluck you Irish too, dick head "! :mad:

I think integration of non Irish in Ireland has been incredibly poor in general. So much so that I think we have many a future problem awaiting us. I just hope that we don't see serious ghetto creation in our cities

I can't think of any place where integration actually works (barring small numbers of new people); except in the mind of the hopeless idealist that is.

Then again even some of the 'non-Irish' - the young ones even - don't want to be part of the group or 'us' it seems.

Y'know,

Everytime I see a thread of yours. I cant help but imagine a little, cross eyed, ginger kid, relentlessly stuffing cotton buds up his nose while thinking up random questions to ask the Internet.

OT, I'm sure any Chinese people in rural Ireland are graaaand.

Bon chance.

I agree, in my daughters class in preschool, there are Asian kids, and a few kids of African origin.

It warms my heart to see them all playing happily with each other, completely indifferent to the other persons race or colour.

It's the only proof that I need that racism is something taught, or bred into people. Because you only have to watch this bunch of 4 year olds to know it's not a natural human emotion or trait.

The Backwards Man

There's a Chinese family live near me, the woman is a nice sort, terribly nosy though, would ask you where you pooped last. So yeah, they fit right in.

Hans Bricks

Seem to be quite timid and reserved for the most part. I think they garner a lot more respect hee in general, due to the work ethic & that.
