“God damn Chinese”

A couple weeks back when me and Gloria we walking around outside of Damascus, a man, who in my opinion looked like an American tourist judging by his accent and clothing, shouted “God damn Chinese” at us.  Interestingly enough this is the first time I have experience such direct hatred in public and in Israel no less.  If I were correct that the man really is an American tourist, I find it fascinating that I was called that by a foreigner in a different country.  From my interactions with people here, it seemed to me locals do not have the same animosity towards the Chinese as some other people in general.  Well, the next time if the same thing happens again, I’m going to say back to them “I belong to the Chinese Communist Party, be careful, I’m going to send assassins after you after talking to daddy tonight.”
