Ranting? You can hear it? Strange...Do you have some eidetism?

"We're not here to bash China or Chinese people for not measuring up to anybody's aribtrary set of standards."

Man, I was banned from some Western forums BECAUSE I LOVE CHINA AND I EVERYTIME PROTECT THE CHINESE IMAGE ABROAD. SO I AM THE LAST ONE WHO WILL DASH CHINA/CHINESE PEOPLE. But I will not close my eyes in front of the Truth. If WE have some WRONGS we have to be honest and to admit them. Otherwise it will be a bad fanatism.

"I'm well aware that many foreigners dislike the term "laowai", but so what?"

So what? Nothing what. Just sometimes you can receive some dirty words from them and after that - fight, police, court and why not jail or mortal punishment?...So what? Just go on, call them what they don't like, but after that do not be surprised if the are aggressive. Some of these guys do not care you are a person and you have some motivation. In their countries to answer rude, to beat, to kill is just a kind of nowadays behaviour. I just would like to protect you.

"The term is essentially neutral, even if it is often abused."

If they DO NOT LIKE IT, they DON'T CARE if it is neutral, possitive, negative and...some of these guys EVEN DON'T KNOW what is "essentially".
 THEY EVEN FIGHT IN THEIR PARLIAMENTS!!!
