潇洒人生路
人的一生最重要的是自由和随之而来的责任。
我们身在海外，大家每天忙于工作，生活。
许多老中们整天疲于奔命地打拚，对于物质的追求远远高于对精神的追求。也有的老中排斥西方文化，很多同胞在国外吃的是中餐，看的是中文电视，读的中文报纸，上的是中文网站，交的是老中朋友，说的是家乡话，到也自得其乐。老中身上有很多优点，也有很多陋习。
入乡不随俗，我行我素，这是很多海外老中所奉行的原则。
那么咱们海外的华人的形象在外人看来是什么样的，特别是对我们的下一代有什么影响，有谁在意和在乎过吗？
来看看以下两个关于老中的笑话。一个是印度人说的“单口相声”，另一个是一个华人下一代写的有关老中的特点。
各位读者千万别太严肃，您看的时候一定要放松，千万别认为被别人说笑就是种族歧视。首先，那个说老中的印度人还有一大段嘲笑自己同胞的笑话。其次，那个写老中特点的是咱们自己的下一代。
咱们老中不也是常笑话别的种族有多傻有多笨吗？ 能开别人的玩笑，别人笑话咱们，自己也能得哈哈一乐，才显得咱多有幽默感，不是吗？至于下一代所说的一些老中的特点，有些好笑，有些还真得引起大家好好想一想。
被人耻笑和被人调侃是不同的事情。所以，不要太认真。这些笑话都是英文的, 能看懂又能哈哈一乐的估计多少都不太会闹出那样的笑话。既然如此，那大家就开开心，引以为戒吧。1。印度人眼里的老中
今年37岁的RUSSELL PETERS 是在加拿大出生的印裔笑星，现在居住在加州洛杉矶。RUSSELL PETERS擅长说有关各种族尤其是印度人和其他亚洲人的笑话。所到之处，备受欢迎。2。华人后代眼里的老中
这是网上流传的一个华人第二代移民写的有关老中特点的调侃。尽管里面不少是对父母在许多方面的不理解，到也描绘出许多老中们的共性，令人会心一笑。

'全世界的排华浪潮很快要来啦'，不会吧。。。听着怕怕的。
我觉得国人的确有一些不太好的习惯。好像我们对他人的privacy和权益不是那么sensative. 但是事情都在改变啊。美国和日本暴富起来的时候去欧洲旅游，是最被当地人瞧不起的游客。。。但是慢慢的世面见多了，就好了。 中国问题多多，但是改变起来，也会很快的。现在大家都抢着跟中国人做生意，看在钱的份上，他们也得忍啊，呵呵。不过我们跟外面交往多了，也会慢慢洗心革面的， i believe.
It is not right or wrong, it is funny or not. : )
Nothing wrong with that, haha~~
Please do and let us know what happened...... , hahaha
ABC is living a different life than their parents.
That's an interesting point. haha~
Haha~ saving is always a good thing~~
Unlike other Indians, this guy does have a sense of humor, haha~~
I thought he's really funny too. haha~
I laughed my head off!
看来你已经不认为自己是低等人了，何必混在我们这群低等人中，离开这里！
我看全世界的排华浪潮很快要来啦！
不服的到俺自留地跟俺单挑，呵呵 :)
Haha, that's me.
u take yo dollar go to the dollar store and buy something else!!!
hahahaha~~~~~ we all can relate to it somehow......
还有下一代写的这些话，说真的，我们中国人还是要好好反思的。
昨天看到的文章说的是加拿大华人社区变菜园等`，这些都是中国人的形象。
到过很多的国家，只有中国人有CHIANTOWN， 而且都是脏乱差的代名词。真不知道说什么好。
中国人不太明白钱的意义，有时候把钱看得重于一切。
