The following is a transcript of what I heard as I was walking to my dorm room today:
person A: Man, Chinese people love McDonalds.
person B: Don't you think that is a big generalization?
person A: Just look in a McDonalds some time, there are so many Chinese people in there.
I have two replies to this:
1) I am Chinese and I despise McDonalds. I have not had a fast food meal like that for years. That right there is a counterexample to your theory.
2) Just because you see a group of people somewhere does not mean that they like being there. If you went to a jail, you might see a lot of criminals. Does that mean they like being in jail? If you see a bunch of geeks huddled in the corner, does that mean they like standing in the corner. Besides, you see a lot of Chinese people everywhere. That certainly doesn't mean Chinese people like being everywhere, even if they would like to take advantage of everything.

All the ad revenue generated from this blog and several others will go to the Chordoma Foundation which is a non-profit organization that goes towards research and treatment of this rare bone cancer. Funding is needed because governments tend to pass over such rare diseases when distributing funding. If you would like to learn more, please visit www.chordomafoundation.org
Due to the support for this blog, we have now raised $62ish, all of which will go towards the Chordoma Foundation. Thank you.
