How many have u seen, i m an asian, and I do not shuffle my feet, although have seen many here in europe, where i am rt. now, who do and got annoyed myself.Demeneurs and personality traits differ all over the world, if u make this a stereotype thing, u'll start getting angry whenever u see an asian, illogically, without any reason....it would be far beyond the shuffling thing.

There are many tourists that visit China.  Or people who take up residence in China for one reason or another.  Or people whose parents or grandparents moved there.  How does anyone wind up where they are?  By travel, migration, or population shifts either by themselves or by their ancestors.\n\nIf you track migration patterns throughout the history of China, you'd find European diplomats and businessmen who settled in China.  There were US soldiers who stayed.  There were Russians who fled to China during the end of the Czar years.  Their descendants are all Chinese now, but they might still retain some Caucasian traits like hair and eye color that you mentioned.

I have the same problem, and quite honestly sometimes it can get a little embarassing in a quiet room.  But i find that if i'm in that kind of a situation then a kind of walk more on the outside of the foot.\n\nHope this helps you!!

Because they only have small space to move. Also, most people have to adjust their bodies from "train lag".

I'm a Chinese American. A few years ago, my grandparents and family went to Disneyland and we were about to get on the little train that shuttles people around the park when the "conductor" told us that we were cutting in line. Naturally, we were upset because we were not doing that. In fact, we were at the front of the line and virtually no one else was getting on the train. Though we tried to straighten it out, she insisted that we did. Finally, my dad was so furious he had a talk with her manager and told him how this prejudiced accusation had totally ruined our trip. Sadly, Asians have a reputation for cutting in line so I guess that's why the lady assumed what she did...

Foreigners are treated nicely in China because the Chinese do not want to "lose face" and be classified as a country who doesn't welcome foreigners. In big international cities like Shanghai, foreigners are less noticeable because there are so many visitors. In smaller cities, many might get stares because Chinese people don't see a blonde-hair, blue-eyed American everyday. But it's just curiousity. Sometimes they might even ask to take a picture with you because you're an American. Overall, Chinese people are very welcoming. On the other hand, when shopping at street markets, vendors might raise the price a little because you're a foreigner. But since the exchange rate is so good ($1 to 8 RMB), it doesn't make much a difference. Plus the Chinese people, were are pretty poor to begin with, need the money more.

It's called "NIMBY" Syndrome - Not In My Back Yard.\nPeople want all the advantages and comforts of a technological, industrialized world, but are unwilling to put up with anything that even impedes their view!\nThat's a big part of the reason why heavy industry is moving from the West to Southeast Asia.

Well, I ask all my guests and friends to remove thier shoes when they enter my home, and I don't have light carpets nor am I Asian.  Now think about this... people spit on streets and sidewalks, drunks piddle, dogs poop, and babies puke... and everybody walks through it whether they realize it or not, then want to wear thier skinking shoes into my house??? Go ahead and wear your shoes in your house, working all that into your carpet. Then get down on the floor with your boyfriend or husband, crawl around on your hands an knees, and then touch and kiss, or eat your popcorn while watching t.v.... yum.

First of all, I think a more up-to-date term would be "Asians". And the answer is simple: To keep their carpets and houses cleaner. It also makes people feel more "at home" at times, as well...kind of a "welcome to my home" sort of feeling. This custom is traditional in Japan, Korea, China, and throughout southeast Asia.

Individuals are individuals. Some Chinese folks are prejudiced against black people and vice versa.

In China, we are more likely to observe a transitional process through a broad spectrum of social arrangements. This will likely move slowly enough to prevent the kind of strife we have observed elsewhere. Expect China to remain mostly socialized for a very long time.

I think that most Asian people naturally do better than other groups because they are taught from birth to be better and work harder than others.  It's part of their culture to want to succeed.  As for being naturally smarter, I don't think that's true.  It's just a matter of living up to your god-given potential.
