I've read something to the effect that there is no such thing as irony in the Chinese language or culture; if true, that would be very strange. They are certainly not known for giving the world any great comedy. As a society, unfortunately they are quite racist. This commercial could have been made in the U.S. in about 1915, when Birth of a Nation and pikininies were the rage.

Other than that, it's a great place.
Denis, I have been to China - My comment about their sense of humor was sort of tongue and cheek. They are told what to think. I would think they are racist. That was my observation.
