Some people are just plain rude in general. Doesn't matter if they're asians or not. I've held door open for so many people that didn't even say thank you.
Sure he did. Did you not read his thread title? He's assuming asians are rude, but he's just not sure WHICH ones... if it's generalized to all asians, or just foreign.

I can't believe some people are giving hell to the OP. It was just an observation and he was asking a question in regards to it, because *gasp* different cultures do have a tendency to do things different; why is it unreasonable to ask a question in regards to this?
The only fools in this thread are those dolts who immediately jump on the racist/closed-minded/dumb American bandwagon.

no, i'm not suggesting asking questions is wrong.
i'm saying you should've bother making sweeping generalizations by extrapolating your data from a relatively small sample space.
is that not obvious to the most casual observer?
Did you not read the actual post?
Can you morons just STFU with your PC whinning and answer the damn question.
God people are WAY too PC these days.
I can't answer the question, because i haven't met most asians yet. When i do, i'll post my answer here.
I'm Asian and I got here when I was 13 which was 10 years ago. I have a healthy perspective on both cultures.
They don't usually hold doors and openly say thank you as much because that is simply the sheer difference of culture. We just don't do it ususally, nothing more and nothing less. If you see that as being 'rude' then you have an ignorance problem. That is same as Asians observing Americans are rude with opening their mouths before careful thinking or picking up a spoon before elders at a dinner table. (It's polite to wait until the oldest start eating first.)
It is simply a culture crash.
If Stefan was an Asian in Asia and saw foreign Americans behaved their ways, you would immediately label them as being rude as well. Only the wise may recognize that it is the difference of culture and no offense was intended by either culture.

that's funny, i notice this for probably half the people I hold the door open for... I thought it was just the fact college students are ungrateful bastards who could care less.
Because all of us asians ARE rude especially to Americans! When are you going to get that through your thick skull? We also spit on your streets and stare at your women shamelessly and stink up your town with fowl fish market water. Iight.
Good enough.
I will try to answer. I work in a multi-cultural atmosphere. The company I work for has a global presence and we have people all over the world. Our company promotes us going overseas for stints and trying to learn the company as a whole.
That being said...I really think it depends on the individual. Some people are willing to learn and accept other cultures. I've seem Europeans and Asians that will hold the door and elevators for women. I've also seen people from the same culture just flat out walk in front of people and be rude as hell.
Same thing goes for Americans. Some people are willing to learn about different cultures and religions. Some arent.
Or just shove/bump you out of the way to pass with out saying anything.
Maybe Stefan is delirious from the dry summer heat, or the gases from the swamps have an underlie hallucinating affect on the Peggers.
I'm Asian and I don't think Stefan was being close-minded. By asking, he obviously shows he is interested in learning why Asians behave like that.
The door holding thing is minor. The main thing I think Americans have against Asians is how Asians chew with their mouth open. In Asian culture it's proper to slurp noodles, chew with your mouth open, and eat a lot, all to complement the cook on his/her delicious cookings. In Western cultures all those are impolite.

You're looking into this too deeply. He didn't publish a report based on his limited experience, it only prompted him to ask an informal question to an internet forum.
Um Fvck no. Maybe just eating a lot, or finishing all you were given. But that's same as here in America.
Chewing with mouths open? Which part of Asia are You from? Or are you an ignorant pseudo intellectual American? :roll:
Shame on you for not lashing him for being "un-pc"! This is ATOT, a haven for sniveling limpwrists. I'm so offended that I'm forced to comfort myself by gorging on tofu.
His know-it-all enlightened experience with Asians is probably just from watching Joy Luck Club while eating fortune cookies. :roll:
Aw, the ignorant troll is back to partake on our little fight. Why don't you go back into your little hole of where you belong? Lonely and all by yourself, just the way you like it, and you don't care because a comprehensive online quiz told you so.
