So I have to ask; how "mainlander" do I have to be to be hated on in Hong Kong?<br />I ask because I'm actually going to Hong Kong in June, and I need some good honest people to tell me exactly what sort of treatment I should expect. I was excited about this trip at first but all that's been plaguing my mind lately is the fact that as soon as I open my mouth, people will think "mainland scum" and look at me with disdain. While there are educated and reasonable people out there, I tend to think that such people make up a small portion of the demographic in any city, and I can't help but worry that I'll be met with contempt simply for being Chinese.<br /><br />PS: sorry for rambling on your blog, I'm just bummed that it seems as if I'll be flying 13 hours to a city where the locals will be nasty and the Chinese who go there will either yell at me or spit in my face =_=Lori Popnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3777221752025014699.post-54327530367660495402012-05-23T16:21:37.605+08:002012-05-23T16:21:37.605+08:00interestinng observation...

Silly girl, being born in the mainla...Hi Lori Pop,<br /><br />Silly girl, being born in the mainland doesn't make you a mainlander. I'm guessing you haven't yet figured out what exactly you are, because as an overseas Chinese, you can't call yourself a mainlander since you're a completely different species compared to them.<br /><br />It's the same for a lot of Hong Kong-born people who were brought up overseas. Ask them if they are Hong Kongers and you'll get a variety of answers, depending on how fobby they are. Usually, once you've had that overseas upbringing, you usually transform into something of a crossbreed between the two cultures and take on the cultural manners of both. <br /><br />What I was talking about is the phenomenon of true mainlanders who live in China and are just starting to go abroad. They usually have really horrible habits and give all mainlanders a bad name (which is really unfair, I agree), but until you've been personally spat on by them, pushed out of a queue, been deafened by their shouting matches or witnessed them shitting onto the sidewalk of a busy street, you probably won't understand what we (Hong Kongers) are talking about.Miss Fonghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01393701941284307983noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3777221752025014699.post-58084502875073307802012-05-13T02:34:38.361+08:002012-05-13T02:34:38.361+08:00I'm a mainlander who grew up overseas, so I...I'm a mainlander who grew up overseas, so I'm not too familiar with the things you see and talk about. I'll be honest though, I've heard a lot of negative things about mainlander behaviour and I don't intend on challenging what you say is true. Still, I can't help but feel a little stung after stumbling across this blogpost. For the longest time I was never even aware of this HK-mainland animosity, and all of a sudden I find out that halfway across the world there are hateful intolerant people who would shoot me if they could? Now that's really put a damper on my day. I guess I'm just trying to say that we shouldn't generalise on these things, and if we do, then we should show a bit of class and "don't say anything if you have nothing to say". After all, if everybody looked at people this way, then judging by the spirit of this post and these comments, what type of "group" does this make people such as yourselves?

What they are today is a history build up of their failed education system, gov't involvement and over population. Their philosophy, "everyone is for themselves before others".
