    "Asia is the most racist because I went there once and people stared at me and asked me for photographs"

    It's funny but I remember when I went to an Asian country once I was actually eager to get myself photographed with a mall security guard all because he was a mall security guard armed with a combat shotgun; it was the coolest thing my eighteen year old self had ever seen. My sister was originally like "<evilsandwichman> no!", but then she also wanted a photograph with him. Dude was a mall security guard with a combat shotgun, honestly coolest thing I'd seen by that point in my life.

      I've seen mall security guards with full on submachine guns and assault rifles like the Beretta MX4 and various Galil/R4/R5 variants, along with body armour.

      South Africa is something else at times.

      I swear, white people made that shit up just so they can mental masturbate about the idea of other humans viewing them as literal gods.

      I have never met a single person from anywhere in Asia do that while in college, and the university I went to is pretty popular for international students.

        Maybe if you go to tourist sites in China and it was 15 years ago? Considering tourist sites are visited by people from the countrysides
