Stay Classy, White Guy
(H/T Katie)
Disputes happen on the streets all the time, but there’s always a bad way to resolve conflicts and a better way. The example here, from Chengdu, represents the former.
I don’t want to speculate. But I see what I see, and others, surely, will as well: a white man spits in the face of a Chinese dude before absconding on his bike. This is bad. No matter what happened to precipitate the disagreement, spitting in someone’s face immediately before hightailing it seems, at best, cowardly. In this day and age of civility and shit, the act of spitting in a person’s face is difficult to justify even if one is in the right. Again, I’m not taking sides, necessarily; just saying that it looks really bad, all things considered. Youku video for those in China after the jump.

It seems like every other day there’s a new video with a male asswipe of the pale skin variety doing something stupid in China that gives all foreigners a black eye. What gives?
Kos
What gives is what started the argument!

too bad. Chengdu is a pretty laid back city and what probably happened was your run of the mill fender bender. spitting on anyone and running is just a total bitchmove. Also, its hard to tell, but I think I know dude ….

It’s just a guess but, could it be that the dispute originated with the Chinese gentleman having expectorated upon the foreign individual.

So where is the video of the foreign guy on the subway, there are cameras everywhere… Oh there is NO VIDEO.
