As a Chinese-American, reading many of these ignorant comments has been truly revolting and disturbing. First off, I admit that the idea of children "eliminating" in public does gross me out. However, I understand it. I have been to China and very few people have the money, time, or space for either washing machines or hand-washing and drying diapers. Also, public toilets charge per use, and many people don't have the money. China is a country of economic extremes -- there are a few very rich people but the majority are quite poor, especially by Western standards. Don't bash another culture simply because you don't understand it. I'm sure that many cultures think that customs such as circumcision, which is very popular here, are disgusting and inhumane. I have been to China several times and I have never been bothered by the smell or cleanliness -- and please remember that I was born and raised in America. I can't say that I would advocate this practice, but I do understand it and I certainly appreciate our cultural differences. For you to refer to us as primitive and disgusting animals is deeply offensive to me. First of all, don't be stupid -- people are animals too. Also, your comparisons to pets pooping is sort of irrelevant -- not every country is rich enough to have "pets". China is certainly one of those -- animals are for food, not enjoyment. No Chinese person is thinking "I'm going to train my baby like a lapdog". After reading these comments, I am truly disgusted that people not only have these racist and hateful thoughts, but believe that it is OK to broadcast them. I am far more appalled by your opinions than I am by Chinese babies' outfits.
