It is indeed not an event, what draws the media’s attention is the critics at first and then a big turn .

So throughout this blog post, whenever anyone refers to foreigners (laowai) they are referring to the “other” i.e. anyone who is not of Chinese racial descent – am I correct?

Now it may be that all those caucasians in the photos above are all from Europe, but the more plausible assumption is that at least some of them are from the United States.

I just find it odd that Chinese people (at least all the ones who commented on this story above) refer to non-chinese who happen to be in their own country as “foreigners” strictly to denote them being “not Chinese.” I think this illustrates the **importance** (lets not say racism) of race that is prevalent in mainland china today.

oh – and I live in NY – if anyone wants to ride the bull, foreign or domestic, knock yourself out.
