I knew a girl from China and this is a huge insult to them. Being seen or labeled as rural is very embarrassing in their culture. She was ashamed because she grew up on her uncle's pig farm.

A lot of them are completely brainwashed by Fox News. It's their primary form of entertainment. They will die believing the propaganda. They're a lost cause unfortunately.
