Enchanté, comrade!

Enchanté, Andrew.

 Did you know that even in the states there are people who have to work in places of visual pleasure to pay off their huge college debts. They speak perfect English as well.

 Alcoholics who physically harm their spouses are not characteristic of (All of China minus Beijing minus Shanghai). I think that perspective can be moderated to include everyone everywhere, regardless of creed/skin/religion.

You mention about "communism", "poverty", "overpopulation" and "upbringing", and you mention that you do not "judge" them as you have "been" there many times. I have to agree with you there. Better to reserve your opinions about them based on your life experience.

Having "been" there, and being the intellectual, prudent, patient, empathetic person you are, you would have come to the epiphany that these are circumstantial factors.

Let me share where i think you have been to. You've been to one of the many places on Earth that have harsher environmental/circumstantial factors than what you are now likely accustomed to. But the test for today does not hinge on the many other possibilities of all that.

What you are opinionated about, in actuality, is the human condition responding and adapting to those factors. Some of that is nature, some of that is nurture. Not everyone responds the same way. Attributing why, and coming to the conclusion that it is (as i gather, from your opinion) racial or genetic, is a cop out.

Its a convenient excuse for one to pile their foundation of hatred / prejudice / unacceptance into their psyche and it is dangerous. Sooner than later, you subconciously allow crystalisation of fear / intolerance / angst / vindication / rage.

There have been people who have risen to power and shown the world the depths of depravity and abuse those negative festering feelings can inflict onto everyone else.

Have you been acquainted with Hitler?
 Rage multiplied exponentially with power can lead to terrible atrocities that are needlessly painful for everyone else.

It will not matter if you do the nasty with 20, 200 or 2000. Accented English is likely a poor criteria to judge any human being. How would you go about judging a group of deaf or/and blind people? Hope the point I am trying to put forth is made.

People do make mistakes, but not everyone learns the lesson, so history may repeat itself until the opportunity is taken.

 Take care! ^_^
