This kind of thing makes me sick. thumbsdown.gif

And I'm not saying Korea is better. This fetishization of whites in Asia has to stop.

For a day, a weekend, a week, up to even a month or two, Chinese companies are willing to pay high prices for fair-faced foreigners to join them as fake employees or business partners.

Some call it "White Guy Window Dressing." To others, it's known as the "White Guy in a Tie" events, "The Token White Guy Gig," or, simply, a "Face Job."

And it is, essentially, all about the age-old Chinese concept of face. To have a few foreigners hanging around means a company has prestige, money and the increasingly crucial connections -- real or not -- to businesses abroad.

they do it for face, but this demolishes it.

i dont think its that big of an issue. these clowns just have no clue what face really is. they have some twisted fu-ked up version of face to pull this crap off. anyone with even a little sense of self respect knows this is dishonest and dumb as fuk. how can you get face from that? you cant. and thats why everyone who reads this thinks they are pathetic.

btw, i wish they named some of the companies doing this.

this is only a temporary trend. white people may have the image of wealth and prestige for NOW, but there's no telling if they will maintain this status for long

In the future, there won't be any more whites. They would get out-bred by Latinos, Africans, Semitics, and Indians. Museums and old movies/TV shows would be the only ways for future generations to see white people.

lmao white people dont have that image are you kidding? their image is unemployment and bad loans right now. im not even trying to diss or nothing. half the commercial tenants i had from 2005 are out of business now. and Canada didnt even get hit like the US did by the recession.

mainland China is just a bit slow on this fact of reality. although with this US debt thing going on, i really wonder how long their trumped up image is going to last.

My impression of White's are that they are obese warmongers who enslave, and colonize other countries then try to use "human rights" argument and how much "freedom" they have.

Didn't even know these companies did this sort of thing. You learn something new everyday, I guess.

Outbreeding doesn't mean solution though. We are going to have major overpopulation problems as it will double by next 30 years or so.

This is utterly disgusting. How abasing, how groveling, to beg for the services of a white guy whose job is to look, well, non-Chinese.

Only to certain races. Black women in general don't find white people appealing.

This is old news. Why do they keep recycling negative news about China?

Sure, they Whitey's are all over this news because it glorifies their skin and makes another race look bad.

nah, it's a big and hidden issue. even among academician, i observe the same behavior. good thing is that the tide seems to change, so only until another human revolution occurs in the east, i just don't see how to change this fact.

Hasn't the preference for lighter skin existed in China and asia in general well before white people came? Didn't Geisha and Chinese courtiers powder their faces?

I think it might have less to do with western economics and maybe more to do with taking advantage of a preference that predates Europeans being in China. I mean, people who worked out the fields would have dark skin. Its only been recently that even having a tan was considered attractive in the west as a sign of wealth. What will change this will be when a similar shift happens in China I think, and economic circumstances in Germany or the US have a lot less to do with it.

EDIT: I know a Chinese girl who was an exchange student in Nigeria, and when she came back to China a lot of people told her that her skin was dark, like this was a really bad thing, as if she had gotten fat or something.
Yerroperil
The foreign rulers of China were nomads maybe they had whiter skin... Powdering your face probably just signified you are richer then dirty peasants. Chinese don't like white better than blacks they hate both lol.

Yeah that makes sense, kinda sad for me tho in Nigeria all the Chinese were very friendly but I get the impression that might not be the case if I go to China. I guess I will see. In Nigeria none of the Chinese women would date a Nigerian, and I can only think of one Chinese guy whose daughter did and that didn't end well lol. There was one young guy tho who dated a bunch of Nigerian girls, but I think he left good thing to because I think one of them wants child money from him. icon_redface.gif

There is a multitude of emotions in China, however as in all places there are swindlers and bigots. Some Chinese have a superiority complex,so the West humiliating China with treaties,attempting to colonize China and forcing opium down the populace throat is not a good way to entertain these people. Why some Chinese don't like Blacks is probably because of how Blacks act in the U.S. committing crimes and relying on government welfare instead of getting a job.

Maybe they don't like Blacks because of the stupid comments they say against Chinese people on the internet....

or maybe because so many Blacks are a bunch of House Negroes who act like they're superior to Asians because "white people like them more".

Whites get a boner evertime there's violence between colored people. They love to cause Divide and Conquer and race bait. They love it when Blacks fight Blacks, Asians fight Blacks, latinos fight Asians, etc...

We all know who the REAL enemy is and who caused most of the evil in the world. The pale devil. They will try to distract us and cause conflict.

The lighter skin thing, as Yerroperil already said, signifies a higher status back then. Back then East Asians prefer light skin only among themselves, however. White people's skin color was not exactly appealing, for example, to the Chinese. Hence, why white people are sometimes called white devil. 

P.S. I don't actually care about this, but I'm just explaining that "light skin" is only preferential among Asians, not among other races.
Yerroperil
You obviously don't like Black people, not all Blacks act like that it just seems the ones in America do. Whites are going to be nonexistent anyway,they have a low birth rate and high immigration in Europe and U.S. Its funny when Whites criticize developing countries,oblivious to all the sh!t they caused them before...
