What I'll Never Understand About Asians.

I still don’t get how Asian people can live in this country for so long and not understand that you chew with your mouth closed. I was at a coffee shop the other day and this upscale college-age (Asian) girl was working on her brand new laptop and pulled out a ziploc bag full of almonds and ate them one-by-one with her mouth open.

Somehow, that makes me doubt that China has the savoir faire to become a superpower. It's almost like the run-of-the-mill Chinese that constitute the nation (even the upper classes) are just not with-it on some level.

you don't need savoir faire to be a superpower. money and brute force will get you a long way.

that said, it's a pet peeve of mine too.
