[quote=LIZXLI,228936]I would like to call "people from other countries" When in the U,teacher told us that it was not polite to call "foreigner" or even "LAO WAI",since for the listener,it didn't sound good inside.It brings a feeling of somehow like "stranger". Also,as a Chinese,for I have never been living in other countries for a long time,personally I don't have any idea of how a life of a Chinese living aboard like..NICE?BEING RESPECTED?? So when my colleagues called us "You Chinese..."I was pretty angry,and then replied"You French...You German..."I don't think "You Chinese" is polite enough.Obviously we are all working in China,I do not think that being a Chinese is inferior.China is our hometown.[/quote]
