Q: Am I racist?

Okay, let's be clear here; I'm specifically asking whether or not one's 'anti-working-in-China-days' equate to a cultivated distaste for one's host country, or if there is something more repugnant going on generally in my psyche. For example, I discovered that I've been paying too much tax, but my employer never thought to tell me this until I brought the topic up. Am I considered too stupid to notice that I'm being short-changed or am I being taken for a ride because I'm foreign? It really pisses me off that I know that nothing would have been said unless I made a point of it. Now I feel that all Chinese employers are lying expletives who can go and explete themselves up the proverbial expletive. Also, personal hygiene, literally, stinks in the Middle Kingdom. And 5,000 year of...what exactly?

PS
Expleting Chinglish. It simply expletes me off. Explete it, who cares.

Chinese bosses do that to Chinese as well. Basically they'll run as many scams as they possibly can, and put as much pressure on you as they possibly can, not hoping you don't notice their half-ass scams, but hoping that if they run enough you'll lose all sense of hope and will to complain.

There have been cases of Chinese folks working fourteen hour days, seven days a week, who kill themselves after not receiving any kind of pay at all for months on end. Those cases used to make the national news, but now they are so common they make the back pages of the local news sometimes.

This is a system run by sociopaths, which trains sociopaths from childhood, and which literally kills people who harms the sociopaths' interests in the name of ideals. No matter how evil and corrupt you think this country is, and how much you think you're used to it, you will find out it's much much worse. I'm still continually surprised.

In order to keep what's left of my old value system and not just become a sociopathic Chinese, I tell myself that the island Chinese are a lot more idealistic and sane, or so rumour goes.

So, if your boss knew, and did nothing, why not just get the money out of him? In blood, if necessary (or preferably Smile )

Hmm, here no evil, see no evil speak no evil. Chinese dwell on foreigners and Chinese alike, not to know what's going on. It's there way. Your not stupid, your just one of a million. And by the way, they are not paying taxes on you, if they don't give you a reciept each and everytime your paid, they're just taking your money.

For sh*ts and giggles, as them for an invoice, watch them sh*t a brick

Do you hate them because of the color of their skin? Or just for the way they are treating you? If you're getting screwed and it's pissing you off, that is far from racism.
