One time we were talking about something (some slackers at work or whatever) and she said, 'They're not as bad as the damned lazy Chinese!' I looked at her and said, 'Uhm, honey, you're kind of Chinese.' She just fired right back -- 'I was there, I had to work with 'those people,' their lazy, ignorant, etc, etc... they do nothing all day but sit in their offices reading the paper, etc., etc.'

Whoa! Must have been different Chinese than the ones with whom I went to grad school! Those people were in the lab or library around the clock...

Yeah, but they were the ones who came here. Like her, hard-working, motivated, intelligent, etc. The ones that stay in China (according to her) seem to be the flip side of the coin.
