i met this customer today and she made an impression on me.
not her,her words actually.
she took a dull orange adidas polo tee and asked my opinion.
''Does this look cheena?''
i stared in disbelief.
for the ppl who dunno what cheena is,it basically just means
chinese who are basically very chinese in terms of their lifestyles,
the way they speak and whatsoever.it also means like an insult to mainlanders
of their old-fashioness.
(the above is my own definition,do correct me if im wrong.)
back to her.
i was like ''No.not at all''
she went''Ohh,im afraid my son think too cheena and dont wanna wear.''
anyway,what i wanna point out is that why ahh?
i mean we are all chinese.its like we despise our own kind
or we are trying to be a wannabe banana.
so what if u were brought up in a english-speaking family?
so what u wear westernised clothing and listen to their music?
so what if u follow their styles and even create a fake accent of ur own?
u can never ever escape the fact that u are yellow-skinned.
of course im not asking all of us to wear qiqaos and bound our feet.
thats plain stupid.
but i just wanna express out,u are what u are.
its shown out OBVIOUSLY.
here u are in singapore,whereby u can shoot out ur impressive vocabulary
and mock at the cheenafield ppl UR OWN KIND.
but if u were to go to the states,it would be a total different issue.
it will be others who despise ur color.
learn to appreciate ur own roots yeah?
