[quote=SANYACHINA,229126]Chris, I read an interview. She was a lady from Russia or Holland...I forgot. She is living in China. She says : "I do not like people to call me "laowai"!"... Context or not, for some of them it is just "bu hao ting"... And I think I got one of the reasons. Because it : a/ Separate them from China. And a lot of them, if they are living here, probably, if not love, at least like to be part of the society and do not like the other to mention their "外" (wai). b/ Unificiate...Just imagine that some of them do not like to be one and the same to : -Russians or -Americans or -Indians or -Australians or -Turkish or -Arabians...etc. Everyone would like, probably, to be proud of his nationality/folk. And to put him in a common with people who are different and/or who he/she do not like at all is really lack of sence of tact.[/quote]
