Jessie Walks the Line

A brutal convo between Ray and me about Taiwanese / English
Ray is not a racist, you will see why he is not a racist, he just thinks English are better. LOL



Jessica says:
Ray
Jessica says:
Give me 3 attitude to describe Taiwanese
Classic Ray (瑞 史密斯) says:
Men or women?
Jessica says:
Both, any 3 you can think of to describe TW people attitude
Classic Ray (瑞 史密斯) says:
fun loving, friendly, emotional
Classic Ray (瑞 史密斯) says:
a bit like Italians, Spanish or other Mediterranean people
Classic Ray (瑞 史密斯) says:
mad is another common characteristic
Classic Ray (瑞 史密斯) says:
we don't understand your cultural attitudes




Jessica says:
how about attitude in getting a job ?
Jessica says:
door mat ?
Classic Ray (瑞 史密斯) says:
do you mean searching for a job or their attitude once they have a job, like hard working
Classic Ray (瑞 史密斯) says:
Commonly you under value and under sell yourselves, too modest about your talents and don't know how to negotiate terms, you just accept what is offered to you
Classic Ray (瑞 史密斯) says:
doormat is a description
Jessica says:
yeah I agree
Classic Ray (瑞 史密斯) says:
you yourself are a bit of a mixture of two cultures, as you stick up for yourself in arguments at home, but i suspect you give in and defer at work
Jessica says:
yeah
Jessica says:
I don't wanna recon
Jessica says:
but quite right in a way
Jessica says:
how about TW guys ?
Classic Ray (瑞 史密斯) says:
selfish Mummy's boys, spoilt children, unfaithful, work hard but no real ideas or thinking people, just do what they are told




Jessica says:
Lol, how about English in general ?
Classic Ray (瑞 史密斯) says:
am I right about TW guys?
Jessica says:
partly
Classic Ray (瑞 史密斯) says:
English are reserved, cynical, cliquey, don't like successful or loud people (that is all Americans) proud and superior attitude, snobby, kinder to animals than their children, charitable and will give their lives for their friends, strong sense of duty to their family and country
Jessica says:
so not fun loving ?
Classic Ray (瑞 史密斯) says:
they are fun loving but can be cruel about it, like taking the piss out of people and laughing at them rather than with them
Classic Ray (瑞 史密斯) says:
strange sense of humor, very dry
Jessica says:
cynical <--what's this ?
Classic Ray (瑞 史密斯) says:
always thinking the worst is going to happen, i think it comes from the weather. Even if sun is shining we will take umbrella as we think it must rain soon
Jessica says:
LOL
Jessica says:
don't trust people as you don't trust the weather
Classic Ray (瑞 史密斯) says:
we always suspect the motives that people have when they do something. If you stand in the street handing out ten pound notes, most people will not take them as they think they must be forgeries
Jessica says:
LOL
Jessica says:
what else ?
Classic Ray (瑞 史密斯) says:
how long have you got? The English are quirky and like the offbeat things, lots of odd characters, respect authority but don't like it and will question it, not give in
Classic Ray (瑞 史密斯) says:
strong sense of tradition and very paternalistic (parent-like) to other countries and peoples, especially those that used to be part of the empire, like Aus, canada and South Africa, less so to Hong Kong and Malaysia
Classic Ray (瑞 史密斯) says:
love and hate the Americans at the same time
Classic Ray (瑞 史密斯) says:
I think we secretly admire their openness but think they are loud and brash
Jessica says:
LOL
Jessica says:
you are just bitter
Classic Ray (瑞 史密斯) says:
no, better not bitter!
Jessica says:
again...
Classic Ray (瑞 史密斯) says:
again what?
Jessica says:
when you said better not bitter, again it shows you have stiff upper lips
Jessica says:
why less to HK and Malaysia ? how about SG ?
Classic Ray (瑞 史密斯) says:
because they are not white there, we are also bad racists
Jessica says:
LOL
Jessica says:
you guys are!
Jessica says:
how would you describe English women ?
Classic Ray (瑞 史密斯) says:
many different types, but quite demanding, like to be in charge, jealous, change once they are married
Classic Ray (瑞 史密斯) says:
want equal rights but still like to have privileges like doors being opened for them, close to their families, treat men like dirt
Jessica says:
how about English guys ?
Classic Ray (瑞 史密斯) says:
feckless bastards who will fuck your sister, best friend or mother if they think they can get away with it. Also lots of them are secretly gay
Classic Ray (瑞 史密斯) says:
most guys have nasty little secrets
Classic Ray (瑞 史密斯) says:
prefer drinking with their mates to taking their wife or girlfriend out, and don't really know how to express emotion. Think it is wet to cry or cuddle
Jessica says:
exactly
Jessica says:
sounds like someone I know
Classic Ray (瑞 史密斯) says:
I am saying all this without thinking deeply about it, trying to be honest and straightforward, i think it is quite accurately what i think
Classic Ray (瑞 史密斯) says:
that is why i need to write my book
