I would point out that no one is "black skinned" and that black is the color of their hair...I am a "whitey" but, I show them that my skin is less whit than most of their skin.

Yes, agreed with yang, a rehtorical question, but I love saying why are you so yellow. One they do not believe their skin color is yellow and two it means perverted in Chinese.

many chinese do not understand the biology stuff and if they ask why are you black ask them why are you white... reverse the stop questions for them and ask them stupid questions... and at the end if you do not have the answer for my stupid questions, so i also do not have the answer for your stupid question.

Tell them it's because you used to play basket ball, and that you got a habit of eating children. Yep, that will turn you black

When God made man he put him in the oven but took him out too early and got white men

God tried again but over cooked him and burnt him so got black men.

Third try was perfect and God got brown men.

God planted a tree and got lemons so he made Chinese. Tongue

A: "... through ..."?  Only "through" comes to mind is "Shenzhen agent can connect you with an employer, who's authorized to hire waigouren ... and can sponsor Z visa." It's not like every 10th person you meet in Shenzhen's hood can sponsor work visa ...  The only way to change from student to labourer visa is just a regular way by: 1. Finding an employer, who'll apply for an Invitation letter; 2. Exit China and apply for Z visa in your home country's Chinese embassy; 3. Enter China in 30-days after Z visa was stamped into your travelling instrument ...As I am aware, you won't be able to switch to Working permit by remaining in China....,so make ready for a return to your home .... -- icnif77
