eh I'm the same as you. even grew up in China for many years and the original comment could be true. who knows, but its getting weird coverage in both countries.

it's also quite the stereotype (one especially held by western raised Asians) to believe all East Asians have asian elitism. most people I knew in China were insanely jealous of Americans and would give their life savings to send their kids to the US for education and a better life. the rich had the everyone is stupid mentality, but that's true for rich people everywhere. one thing that is true and why I made the comment in parenthesis is that most Chinese people think Western raised Asian children are raised incorrectly and make that known to their family members in the West which comes off very elitist, but that's also something shared between cultures around the world who have family members living in the US or equivalent.

no comment on the dudes other comments he's made since I don't know much about him, but to apply this to all East Asians especially the Chinese because of his one comment is pretty... yeah.
