Thank you for clarifying. Now allow me to do the same. I wholeheartedly agree with your opinion on depending on the culture. What I was commenting on was my offense toward the generalization you made regarding affluent children of Chinese decent. You being of Chinese decent or not, that comment is slightly racist just like if i made a comment about how it is expected that if your a 10 year old person of African decent it is expected for you to know how to play basket ball and to enjoy hip hop music and fried chicken. Just trying not promote stereotypes among different people of different cultures.
You can recognize culturally influenced skills and traits without being racist. His example of being able to do flying kicks while performing a violin concerto was just an exaggerated joke. I thought it was pretty funny.
for christ sake, I'm not calling the bloke a racist! I stated that it I was offended by the mildly racist generalization. People make racist jokes all the time. That does not make them racist. And once again, it was I who was offended. I'm not trying to speak for everyone else. Ask yourself if you would make the same joke in front of a person on asian decent. If the answer is no that means the joke might be a little racist, but that does not make u racist
