You can say most of the people you've Met are like that, but don't say most of Asia is. There's about 4 billion people in Asia I believe, so you'd have to have met close to 2 billion to even generalize to Most. I believe it is necessary. It's like saying most Blacks are criminals or most Latinos are lazy. It's not true.
Have you been to Asia?? It's not a stereotype, it's a part of their culture. I'll most likely be moving back next year so it's not racism at all, just an unfortunate fact that I've pointed out. Does this mean every last one of them? No, but the percentage is high enough that I feel comfortable to use the word most. And it's not just the developing countries. The biggest markets for bushmeat are South Korea and Taiwan, both quite rich, and Japan and East China aren't far behind.
So you're telling me that based on the little percentage of people you've met you're going to say that the other 2 billion are just the same in thought processes? I didn't say it was racist or stereotypical, I am staying it is unwise at best to generalize to over 2 billion people. How is the percentage high enough to generalize to 2 billion? What is the percentage of people you've met compared to the total population in Asia? To automatically assume that it's a "fact" is absurd.
I suppose you are entitled to your opinion, as am I. When I say that they have no respect for nature I mean that everything ends up on the menu, the forests are cleared/mountains mined with blind regard for the environment and the future of the local inhabitants (who, though foolish, are uneducated and taken advantage of).
It is very sad how poorly educated people still are.
