The "Look"
August 13, 2007
White people draw looks in China. White people with
Chinese children draw even more looks. White people
with Chinese boys with funny hands draw even more
looks. I took to staring back hard, and taking their
pictures. A couple times I would walk into their
personal space staring straight into their faces (you
have to get pretty close to Chinese people before
they notice you!). This would usually cause them to
quickly divert their eyes, but I caught a couple good
examples with the camera:
To be fair, we received a number of very positive responses from a number of people here - usually older Chinese men, who would smile and give a thumbs up.
