Ok fine, since you really want me to say it. Yes, I have Asian friends also... it's difficult to go to school, work, and live in New York City without accumulating friends of different races. And yes, they are offended by Asian stereotypes. I wouldn't dream of saying any of these things in front of them. I didn't think it was relevant to bring up because my two friends don't represent a billion people but since you really need to hear it for some reason, there you go.

Didn't you know? He speaks for over 1.3 billion people.
Ah right. When I say "Chinese people aren't offended by X" then I'm speaking for 1.3billion people but when you say "Chinese people are offended by X" then you're just putting forth an honest opinion.
I see how it works.
I never did. I said it was shite and I can't believe others find it crap. Didn't say they weren't allowed to did I?
More the sneering way you quoted "imagine pining for that"

I have about >100 family members who are Chinese including my brother. Not sons and daughters of immigrants, people born and raised in China. I visit China on a regular basis and stay with Chinese family over there. My step Mum is Chinese. I (extremely badly) speak a dialect of Chinese. I watch Chinese news and TV (and football actually) because that's the channels watched in my house growing up. I can give an honest impression of Chinese cultural attitudes towards stereotype.
I know it's not the same as once meeting two guys in New York but it's what I have

My honest opinion is I am not in a position to judge the emotions of a whole race/nation based on knowing a few of them, just because you don't know someone that would be offended by it does not mean they do not exist.

Are the English a race ?Both

And my opinion is that cultures are broadly different and that, while you cannot speak for every individual, you can make wide strokes generalisations about them fairly easily if you're educated enough on them.

They're part of a race if that counts? I'm not sure what you're getting at.
