Surprising btw how western the Chinese are becoming.
I hope you do not take this the wrong way, but everytime some news event or video is shown to portrait the Chinese, or any other Asians for that matter as Westernized, I cannot ignore the slightly tone of racism and prejudice that is the source of such comment, most of the times that comments are made with the following mindset "oh Asians like to have fun and behave like people every once in a while, how strange", you probably didn't meant that connotation, but nevertheless you're probably aware of what I mean.
I have always said that in general, Asian culture is much more opened to experiment new things and new ideas that Western culture ever where, so everytime someone makes a comment of disbelief concerning Asians, I cannot stop but to think, how long would take a particular subject to be completely taboo free in Western culture as it normally is in Asian culture.

I guess you took it the wrong way. I look at the vid and it surprised me how western it all looked. Just like that no racism involved, I don't perceive the western culture as superior. In fact western culture can have devastating effects on other cultures/people. To mention two: Aboriginals and native Americans.
