i would not care so much if it did not have an impact on me but as it does I voice my opinion. It effects me in my daily life as I have to deal with people that have an even lower opinion of foreigners based on previous peoples vile contempt for this country and the people that live in it.

You have just told us that you are self-serving. If you weren't, you'd care just as much, whether the behavior of certain laowai that you disapprove of in China impacts on you or not. If you feel the need to, cry me a river, Kevin. But I still won't swallow your words re how it effects you in your daily life, BTW,it's affects, not effects!

That woman Lucy speculated that I was throwing a red herring to offset my anti American ideas

I don't discount what Lucy has said. It's true you've a big downer on Americans in China. That's not good!

it is obvious there are those who will work at a uni with the intention of hooking up with the young ladies. they do it here because in their home country they would not be given the time of day, western women would see through their feeble attempts in a matter of minutes.

Back home, it's much easier to get laid. As a rule, Western women need regular sex very badly. Not only do you know little about Chinese culture, but you know just as little about Western culture. The thing is, most Western women are outclassed in the looks department by Chinese women. That's why many Western males can't wait to get intimate with them. But maybe you're not one of the herd. I think you have a dog in the manger attitude in this respect.

If these girl have the life experience and coping mechanisms to deal with these scumbags fair enough but anyone working with these kids knows how easily it is to take advantage of them. Tell them you love them and they will believe it.

Those girls you call kids are in their twenties. They are not naive at all, and won't surrender their honor merely because of sweet words of love aimed at them. Those among them who allow themselves to get laid by laowai most likely have ulterior motives, eg through marriage to a laowai, to go abroad and stay there long-term. I'd say you're the one who's naive!
