As long as you know our whole country is not like that. Yeah, we have some assholes, just like your country has some assholes, just like every country has some assholes. Unfortunately, they are the ones that get in the news.

I wasn't aware that this was a "little" country... The US is smaller than it likes to think it is, in the great scheme of things. If they put their minds to it, the Chinese could crush you. (And us too, for that matter. But that's not the point.) |

This argument is headed towards comparing genetalia. Can we just get on with it already?

The Chinese could crush the U.S.?? LOL The Chinese have no way of getting their million man army off that continent. Where are you from again?

Which country are YOU from? Please take a look at a globe or something, I wasn't aware that this was a "little" country...silly maybe, but little? I think not. The US is rather small geographically and many countries (including Canada) are a great deal bigger in sheer area or land mass. Population-wise there are many many countries bigger also and bigger economic blocks as well. I had a serious discussion on these very forums with an otherwise intelligent University educated American who swore that his country was the biggest by area in North America and had the largest population of any country period.  (it isn't even close)Loudest, does not equal biggest. That being said, the OP's country is way smaller than the US so the rude remark makes little sense from that point of view. _____________________

No offense to MadamG, but I always find this funny that Americans think their country is "big." The US is rather small geographically and many countries (including Canada) are a great deal bigger in sheer area or land mass. Population-wise there are many many countries bigger also and bigger economic blocks as well. Survey says: EEEEEHHHHHHH! Wrong answer! There are only two countries in the world that are geographically larger than the United States. In fact, Alaska alone is larger than most countries in the world. The United States has the largest GDP of any single country in the world. Population wise there are only two countries in the world that have a larger population. You really should know your facts before making statements like that. _____________________

Read this, then tell me your silly little country isn't racist: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/manchester/5259264.stm The United States' government as currently run is racist. Proving that it's specifically racism in any given case, and this case in specific, is rather difficult considering the circumstances, and proof is what is required - or else, the public at large wising up to the smokescreen. |

Not that I doubted you, Vares, but I like trivia, so I looked 'em up. For anyone else wondering: Top Populations from the U.S. Census Bureau 1 China - 1,313,973,713 2 India - 1,095,351,995 3 United States - 298,444,215 4 Indonesia - 245,452,739 5 Brazil - 188,078,227 Landmass from Wikipedia 1 Russia - 17,098,242 2 Canada - 9,970,610 3, 4 (disputed): People's Republic of China (PRC) - 9,598,086(1) or 9,640,821(2) total of separate UN figures for mainland China and the Special Administrative Regions of Hong Kong and Macau. Both values exclude the disputed territories of Taiwan, Penghu, Kinmen and Matsu which the Republic of China has continued to govern after the PRC replaced it on the mainland. 1 Excludes all disputed territories. 2 Includes PRC-administered disputed territories Aksai Chin and Trans-Karakoram Tract, both territories disputed by India). 3,4 (disputed) United States - 9,629,091 includes only the 50 states and District of Columbia 5 - Brazil - 8,514,877 includes Arquipélago de Fernando de Noronha, Atol das Rocas, Ilha da Trindade, Ilhas Martim Vaz, and Penedos de São Pedro e São Paulo _____________________

Our Government sucks balls. Like, it used to just lick them, but this particular regime is on the verge of deepthroating them. Plus this DID happen in Atlanta, GA. They still think it's odd in GA for a black person to be seen outside the city limits. _____________________

U.S. Census Bureau Like I trust them. They're sizist and will lie, cheat and steal to make themselves seem bigger. EDIT: Chinese economy has a long way to go and many issues to face along the way, but they are very much a part of the global economy. _____________________

Back to the OP though, yeah what happened might seem racist on the surface.
But what reasons did they have for sending him home? They don't say. Maybe, and I am just saying maybe, they had a good reason. I don't know and neither do you. They may have had a good reason. Or it might have just been profiling. The point is that we just don't have enough facts to say either way, so don't jump to conclusions. And yes, PetGirl is right about China. They are set to be one of dominate powers of the 21st century. Edit: Their real power is economic and they know it. _____________________
