Awful Experience at Colibri, Portola Springs

NEW -> Contingent Buyer Assistance Program
China's population is largely irrelevant. For American's the main problem they're experiencing is really quite simple. We're exporting dollars to a country that funnels the dollars through political cronyism, those then getting the dollars want out and come here or elsewhere, they just bring the expectations that got them ahead there here.
If you don't like it, stop buying cheap made in China sweatshop. How do you know? Easy, it's a brandname made in China.
Everything you are actually complaining about with the Chinese coming is actually being down in most American firms too and our Government is becoming increasingly crony.
Test, thank you so much for letting us know. We had no idea that the Chinese were buying American real estate. This is such a shocker!
I love Din Tai Fung! Now I dont have to drive to Arcadia every time I crave dumplings.
I was wondering where all the hate was coming from. I would consider Irvine a city full of educated, professional, recreational people and not bigot racists. This blog definitely doesn't represent Irvine.
If so much hate, why pay the premium when you can get something allot bigger in other areas where being racist is accepted (i.e. Yorba Linda)
I hear people complaining about the Chinese buying houses so their children can attend school here (while they stay in China), but I don't see why. Years ago I lived next to a house that was filled with Taiwanese high school and college students, no parents. They were great neighbors, always quiet. Then the house got sold to a noisy white family.
I hate to sound preachy, but racism is everywhere and feelling it is relative to everyone else. I'm sure white people don't feel racism in Yorba Linda, but they do feel it in Irvine. They are getting pushed out by the Chinese, so there is resentment. But if you throw a Mexican or black into Irvine, both groups will hate on em for lowering the property values. So really your experience is relative to everything else in the world.
Luckily we have the internet to air all this shit without having to be polite about it.
When I say racism is relative here is an example:
A Mexican in Yorba Linda or Irvine will feel racism equally.
A Chinese in Yorba Linda will feel racism much more than in Irvine.
So in that sense, Irvine is less racist for Asians.
To add some fire to it. The Chinese "mainlander" FCB today are more or less like Rich Taiwanese coming over to US 20-30 years ago. They're all "???" (got rich in very short time). There are common characters for this group of people regardless of nationality or ethnicity.
I can care less about Din Tai Fung. I don't know why there is such a big fuss about this restaurant.

This thread has really degenerated to the "I hate Chinese Mainlanders."
America has always been a country of immigrants. Everyone always harps on the new groups and raise protectionist alarms. IMHO, diversity is a strength and we should try not to be so quick to judge. Not all mainlanders are the same.
If you don't like the trend in Irvine, you can always move to South County but be warned, the only constant in life is change.

It is why we should stay anonymous. So we can say what we are really thinking. Why pay $300/hour for therapy when you can use talkirvine. The thread started out with a hate mainlanders theme, and we are just going with it.
As for the dog slaughter pictures. We do that to chickens, cows, and ducks here. The people in your pics are doing it to dogs. So your argument is dogs are a higher class than chickens & cows. Since dogs are murdered for their meat in China, and we don't do that in USA, we are a higher class than Chinese.'
Also this does represent Irvine. This is just more honest without the fake smiles.

People in this thread who express most hatred toward Chinese are mostly Chinese themselves, or Chinese-affiliated, if you want to stop me calling you Chinese. This is one of the qualities of our people -- self-hatred.
We can comment on specific phenomena. But if you're pointing finger to a whole country of people, you loss the moral ground.

I think my Austrian ancestors had some Chinese blood in them, so I only hate myself a little bit.
