Crimewatch and Chinese people

Mackass · 27 May 2006 at 16:41

I think parents play a major role, they don't tell us to be good or anything, it's just expected in my opinion.

I was bought up okay I guess, I don't hang around the streets mugging old people or anything. Same applies to my cousins from both sides of the family, you don't associate chav behaviour with any of them, and I haven't met any chav behaving chinese person, yet. I think as a culture, we're hard working people, for example nearly all my aunts and uncles including my parents are all self-employed, most of them came here with nothing and this kind of sets an example for the younger generations.

There are some trouble makers out there, crime isn't determined by race, you probably aren't looking hard enough.

interesting enough chinese people also get the best GCSEs in comparison to all the other races in UK (source table on bbc website).

Yes, yes, yes us Chinese are awesome

I think its more to do with a traditional strict, morally and ethnically defined upbringing. Chinese in general are very timid people and generally keep to themselves. I cannot think of a single instance (apart from myself, but i blame it on the english half) of chinese trouble near where i live.

Even the triads are pretty low key - they know their business and dont tend to thrust it in peoples face with the bravado of other organised crime groups.

But don't underestimate us though. We all came out of the womb knowing Kung-fu-ninja-tae-jitsu-chi and arent afraid to use it.

That gang leader who was responsible for the cocklepickers who drowned was Chinese.

On the whole, I'd say the vast majority of Chinese people are very pleasant.

Jackie Chan's dad also once caught Chuck Norris with his bare hands.

Right after that, he roundkicked father and son (jackie) in the face.

Why is it you never see "a chinese" with a scottish accent? Or a black dude talking welsh

Watch Kung-Fu Hustle and become enlightened, seriously though do watch it, it is a fantastic film, way over the top and all the more fun for it.

Nothing really to do with the original post but quite a few of the early Jackie Chan films (Drunken Master and Dragon Lord I think although there may be others) had him as badly behaved then sent off to a master to be trained in a harsh manner until he conformed. Quite a high value is placed on conformity in oriental culture as I understand it which might be part of the reason that Crimewatch doesn't feature too many.

They're all too busy in the casino to steal.

What is Flingbang? My understanding of flingbang is to get hold of your opponent in a ring or fight, FLING him around then BANG his body (head preferably) on the floor or whatever object you desire.Hence FLINGBANG
Am i missing something here?

They dont commit the kind of crimes that are likely to be featured on crime watch.
