Since it has been established, that every poster here, is a fat, bald, 50 year old American who lives in his mom's basement, and sits online all day, pretending to be a Chinese girl, I just wondered if it worked the other way.
Well when I was chatting on facebook, many friends didn't believe I am Chinese.
If I pretended to be a westerner, it would be a way to test my written English I guess.
Another joke but a real one... There used to be a boy five years younger than me who wanted to adopt me as his daughter. Americans are really warmhearted.
Believe in god. Believe in love. Believe in myself. Hold faith tight no matter what kind of person I used to be and what challenge is waiting for me. Rainbows are always there after the rain.
Uh yes. They tend to pretend to be self hating westerners. You'll find them on any article that may paint China in a negative way. The Shanghaiist has tons of them commenting. They liberally pepper their comments with incorrectly used idioms and archaic words.
Example: Nay, us western imperialist running dogs are familiar with the act of destroying nations with a bird in the hand.
