That was the most wonderful explanation I could get for understanding that video.
Please continue to sweat enlightenment out of your virtual body so we, the uninitiated, can grind on you continuely in hope of it rubbing off on us.

That's so fascinating to me. You're clearly only looking at all the couples from one perspective: American males are shit and Chinese males are wonderful.

Try considering it from both points of view in both couples. The Chinese girl forces her boyfriend to hand over all his money even though he clearly doesn't want to. In order to appease his ball-and-chain, the Chinese guy has to bribe her with a purse. The Chinese girl forces her guy to hold her purse and suffer through shopping with her. The Chinese father-in-law is overtly overbearing and controlling. Chinese couples dump off their babies with in-laws to live free of their burden.

It's not racist to joke about American males being infamously fearful of commitment. In America there are endless references in popular culture to that aspect of American society all the time. Does that make racist the producers of such content?

It's also very commonplace for couples in America to get divorced. Would it have been racist if they'd joked about Americans divorcing versus Chinese staying together despite being miserable?

It's a matter of facts, and pointing out facts in a humorous (to some) way is not a racist act.

And the whole "fucking bitch" line was mostly an over-exaggeration for comedic effect, and it worked. But the fact remains that it's not uncommon for Americans to really feel that way about their SO picking off their plate. (Like I said, I've seen worse than a verbal insult in the form of a physical attack.) Whereas it's ostensibly more uncommon in China.

As a grammar nazi you should know that this -> " <- is what germans use to paraphrase.
Great, now we're arguing grammar. What have I become.....

..which is getting all to close to 'now we're just arguing'..., over less than semantics, so you 'win', congratulations.
next topic.

EDIT: BTW, when you paraphrase, you use ', not ". :-)

You're right, it's not the fall, it's the landing. Like death, we shouldn't be afraid of being dead but they dying itself.
I ain't afraid of no fall. I got a bouncy castle at my disposal.

...like falling. It's not the fall that gets you, it's the sudden stop at the end. We shouldn't be afraid of falling, we should only be afraid of LANDING!
