When buying a house people tell you to make sure the roof is in good condition because that'll be expensive to replace. What they don't tell you is that is all the other things that you may need to replace and how expensive they are.

I have a friend from China who's a lib and he's probably one of the most racist people I know (specifically against Chinese people). Just the other day he said Chinese people have never invented anything and that good inventions can only come from the US or Europe. He also wants to look, sound, and dress like an Ivy-league country club dude. Dude regularly reminds me of a Chinese Uncle Ruckus. Is that kind of self-hating common or is it mostly because he's from a rich family?
