1. I think that happens to white people too.

At least it USED to. Maybe not now?

I was amazed by Germany as a kid. Germans would stare at me and my family blankly, like we were a boring TV show. At restaurants, they didn't even talk among themselves. They preferred to slowly chew their cuds and stare at us. It's not like we were loud and obnoxious either. At least they didn't look angry.

3. It does happen to white folks...

and if those whites have blond hair (especially kids) they'll be followed all over and the Chinese will want to touch them and their hair

4. I've never been to China (or most of the world), but I'd heard about that behavior...

... years ago.

5. It's like that throughout Southeast Asia and China as well...

mostly in the rural areas

7. My girlfriend (white, blonde, tall (5' 10")) had parents who worked in Indonesia in the 60s

She had heaps of people following her around and wanting to touch her, especially her hair.

Nothing unfriendly, but a pain in the proverbial when you just want to walk around.

8. Yes, my daughter participated in MANY group photos when she visited.

They completely flipped out when they realized she could speak a bit of Mandarin too. She is not even all that blonde, either.

2. This happens to people of different complexions around the world.

I believe they are a bit off on the reality of the situation by defining it as if the people think they are famous. Different cultures react differently. Rural China is extremely homogeneous.

6. My nephew grew up in the rural Mid-South.

There were not a lot of black folks where he lived. I was with him, at a big city zoo, the first time he ever saw a black child. His mouth went wide open, and his eyes were huge. He didn't make a scene or anything, just looked amazed.

As we walked on, my sister told me that he knew some black grown-ups, but he must not have known that they came in his size. He seemed more than okay with that knowledge.
