Rude, impolite and loud people. But not all Chinese people are like that. But the ones that are stand out the most.
Bruh...
Did you meet a rich / middle-class tourist that acts entitled? Because like... that's not really the reality. Most ethnic Chinese people actually act very polite in front of other people (at least that's the case with my parents and relatives), since this is a "face" thing. Its behind closed doors that they start to drop the act and just be like: "Why are you so fat" (my mom literally said that to me lol). But like... Rude? In Public? ๐ค
Cut you in the line like you dont exist. Try to force their way in the queue. Shout to their friends right next to your ears. Bump their luggage in your knee/feet/ankle. Stop in the middle of the road or in front of the elevators. Clip nails in public transport. Burp and fart in restaurant without a word. Drop trash on the floor. Spit in the street... you name it, I've seen it all.
And again, like all generalities, it doesn't make much sense. I know not all Chinese people are like that. Especially your mom lol.
I've spent a lot of time in NYC and Philly Chinatown areas and almost never see this. I think the one time that someone tried everyone else in line (including ethnic Chinese people) called them out for it and they just went to the back of the line.
To be fair, I was in highschool (in the US) and kids of every ethnicity would also stand in the middle of the hallway usually in their little groups and chatting and blocking everyone from getting to their classes on time.
They don't want to ackowledge it because it "loses face".
Not unique to Chinese people.
Go to any major city and you see this a lot.
Oh yea this is annoying. I have someone who live on my block who is a first-generation immigrant, i'm not sure if from Mainland China or Taiwan or HK, but either way, they keep spitting like every day... Ugh ๐คฎ
But I also see this from both white people and black people, not exactly a unique trait.
