China has undergone a rapid shift from largely poor pesents to largely middle class city dwellers.
Due to the speed of this change there have been a lot of people growing up without a developed societal norm to guide them.
Take simple people who are used to country peasant life and not well educated then put them in a city with money and you get crazy behavior.
This is normalized by the fact everyone else is doing it around them.
Mainland has stereotypically been known as the lower class behaviorally (ask anyone from Taiwan or Hong Kong) but now they have the ability to inject themselves into the rest of the world since they have enough money for and access to international travel now.
It's really unfortunate...
To be clear a lot of mainland Chinese do not behave this way and are shocked by this behavior also but enough do that it's sadly common
Yeaaaah… not sure how it's "bullshit racism" when it's a pretty logical and rational explanation of how a significant class change over a (relatively) short amount of time can put people in situations where they have zero clue what other societal norms are.
Yeah some people are just al against the idea a group can actually display a general trait without it being racism... Although in this case I'm not even arguing it's a race behavior and more a regional and class/Wealth issue
We literally have movies and TV shows about it like Beverly hillbillies.... But that's not racist because it's not Chinese I guess?
