So I've noticed that overseas Chinese turn out in overwhelming support of the country they fled so they could have a better life. Regardless of issue, these Chinese talk like they're still Chinese nationals with little regard to where they actually live, in the US, Canada, Australia, Germany, etc
Cities like San Francisco are nearly at 30% Chinese population, how did this happen?
I'm not against immigration, but seeing that they don't want to assimilate and protest against OUR policies on OUR soil, is it time to stop immigration from China?

Here is the problem:
Immigrants come here as part of "chain migration" (after one family member gets in under the full requirements of immigration, they bring other "family" members along who do not have to meet all the language requirements) do not feel the need to become "Americanized" because they are moving into areas where cultures are established that already speak their native, non-English, language.
They never leave these areas because they cannot speak English and because they are not forced to, they never will.
The problem is that liberals in the US want us all to "celebrate diversity" at all costs, even if this means that new immigrants NEVER adopt the American way of life. They think a melting pot means only WHITE culture (yes, there is such a thing) should "melt away" and other cultures should be held high! This means that I cannot demand that you learn English and adapt to the US way of life, requiring this is "raciest"

I'm Chinese American (read: raised in the US) although I'm fluent in Chinese.
At school, I met some international students from China and because I can speak the language, they assume I'm one of them. Then over time, they're shocked to realize that I like American rock/pop music, I usually eat American food, I dislike Karaoke, I like Anime (read: most Mainland Chinese have a thing against Japanese culture). The "wtf is wrong with you" look given to me afterwards is priceless.
From my experience, many Chinese immigrants harbor the same degree of arrogance in refusing to assimilate as the amount of arrogance projected by the Americans who mock them with racist comments. Refusing to assimilate or even acknowledging American culture can be seen by Americans as disrespect, and in turn, they won't respect Chinese people (not saying both sides do this intentionally and consciously.) I feel that by making an effort to at least partially assimilate, the American public's perception of Chinese will improve (although it may take years to see the changes.)

Plus in the majority of restaurants you go to the service is so poor you feel like punching them instead of leaving a tip.
In b4 crying libfags, not everyone outside america is the epitome of moral righteousness, proportionally the amount of assholes in the USA is the same as outside, except China has 3 times the population.
you have a warped sense of reality, yes most people are like that but there are a few that are complete ass-holes. this kind of blind support is the reason i hate non-Tibetan pro-Tibet protesters. they support something they probably read in the NYtimes while eating a granola bar. though i know some non-Tibetan people do have a surprising insight on the situation thought that might be like 10% of the people who show up to the protests.

They have nothing to gain from it. In the short term they sell primitive cheapass T69 tanks to the Arabs, which are not even speedbumps to an M1A2 SEP, and primitive cheapass J6 jet fighters that are basically clay pigeons with humans inside against F15s or F22s.
In the long term, we are their natural allies. They loathe the Arabs more than we do, and they are not crippled by our Christian moral sickness or our liberal white guilt, and if President Bush had on September 12th, 2001 said "Okay, you primitive diaperheads, we're taking back the oil fields and we're gonna sell it for a nickel a barrel," the Chinese would have been all FUCK YEAH SEAKING, WHERE DO I SIGN UP? WOULD YOU LIKE TO BORROW HALF A MILLION PARATROOPERS, IF WE GET TO THE TOP OF THE LIST FOR THE CHEAP OIL, PL0X?
