[quote=YEMMIE,228663]Hi Everyone, I think I prefer Westerner (for people from Europe, Australia, New Zealand, and North America). Yes, it does assume many commonalities, some of which are not really universal, but overall, I think it is pretty good, and is unlikely to offend anyone. As a Westerner, it is important for me to live up to the positive stereotypes that have been attached to that name, and to gently disprove the negative ones so that I will be welcome in China and any other countries I visit in the future. Like Travellermike I don't really like long nose because it seizes on physical features. I also do not like ex-pat because it somehow implies that we have denounced our own countries. Not true in my case. I like China very much, and hope to spend a lot more time there, but I still love my country.[/quote]
