瀟灑人生路
人的一生最重要的是自由和隨之而來的責任。
我們身在海外，大家每天忙於工作，生活。
許多老中們整天疲於奔命地打拚，對於物質的追求遠遠高於對精神的追求。也有的老中排斥西方文化，很多同胞在國外吃的是中餐，看的是中文電視，讀的中文報紙，上的是中文網站，交的是老中朋友，說的是家鄉話，到也自得其樂。老中身上有很多優點，也有很多陋習。
入鄉不隨俗，我行我素，這是很多海外老中所奉行的原則。
那麽咱們海外的華人的形象在外人看來是什麽樣的，特別是對我們的下一代有什麽影響，有誰在意和在乎過嗎？
來看看以下兩個關於老中的笑話。一個是印度人說的“單口相聲”，另一個是一個華人下一代寫的有關老中的特點。
各位讀者千萬別太嚴肅，您看的時候一定要放鬆，千萬別認為被別人說笑就是種族歧視。首先，那個說老中的印度人還有一大段嘲笑自己同胞的笑話。其次，那個寫老中特點的是咱們自己的下一代。
咱們老中不也是常笑話別的種族有多傻有多笨嗎？ 能開別人的玩笑，別人笑話咱們，自己也能得哈哈一樂，才顯得咱多有幽默感，不是嗎？至於下一代所說的一些老中的特點，有些好笑，有些還真得引起大家好好想一想。
被人恥笑和被人調侃是不同的事情。所以，不要太認真。這些笑話都是英文的, 能看懂又能哈哈一樂的估計多少都不太會鬧出那樣的笑話。既然如此，那大家就開開心，引以為戒吧。1。印度人眼裏的老中
今年37歲的RUSSELL PETERS 是在加拿大出生的印裔笑星，現在居住在加州洛杉磯。RUSSELL PETERS擅長說有關各種族尤其是印度人和其他亞洲人的笑話。所到之處，備受歡迎。2。華人後代眼裏的老中
這是網上流傳的一個華人第二代移民寫的有關老中特點的調侃。盡管裏麵不少是對父母在許多方麵的不理解，到也描繪出許多老中們的共性，令人會心一笑。

'全世界的排華浪潮很快要來啦'，不會吧。。。聽著怕怕的。
我覺得國人的確有一些不太好的習慣。好像我們對他人的privacy和權益不是那麽sensative. 但是事情都在改變啊。美國和日本暴富起來的時候去歐洲旅遊，是最被當地人瞧不起的遊客。。。但是慢慢的世麵見多了，就好了。 中國問題多多，但是改變起來，也會很快的。現在大家都搶著跟中國人做生意，看在錢的份上，他們也得忍啊，嗬嗬。不過我們跟外麵交往多了，也會慢慢洗心革麵的， 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!
看來你已經不認為自己是低等人了，何必混在我們這群低等人中，離開這裏！
我看全世界的排華浪潮很快要來啦！
不服的到俺自留地跟俺單挑，嗬嗬 :)
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......
還有下一代寫的這些話，說真的，我們中國人還是要好好反思的。
昨天看到的文章說的是加拿大華人社區變菜園等`，這些都是中國人的形象。
到過很多的國家，隻有中國人有CHIANTOWN， 而且都是髒亂差的代名詞。真不知道說什麽好。
中國人不太明白錢的意義，有時候把錢看得重於一切。
