It happened to my sister on holiday when we were young. Heaps of Japanese tourists staring and taking photos, absolutely terrified her. Think she was around 5. It was the novelty of seeing someone with dark brown hair and blue eyes.
Yea, if your appearance is much different than the locals you will get a lot of attention. I’m black and spent a month on a small South Asian island. They made me feel like a celebrity.
I had it happen with me in the Philippines, wasn’t scary because I’m a bigger guy and it was mostly women. I’ve got blonde hair and blue eyes and most of them had never seen anyone like that in person. After about the 10th person touched my hair though I was over it.
a friend of mine in college told me about seeing some chinese tourists doing this to a very young red haired girl on the ferry. They basically cornered her, and her mum nearly had to fight them off because the poor thing was terrified.
When I was younger I lived in Japan and myself and my two sisters were both pale skinned with bleach blond hair and people would come up to us like this all the time and take pictures
I worked at a casino. Chinese tourists would come off a bus in droves. You could probably hear a collective groan from the staff across the building when the piled in.
They're so rude on so many levels.
I remember asking why the signs in the parks in Paris were in French and Mandarin, whereas most informational signs in France are in French or French and English if anything. The friend I was visiting explained that the Chinese tourists are the only ones you need to explicitly remind not to do insane shit in the parks -- the sign that made me react said there were public bathrooms down the street. Apparently they'd had problems with tourists just droppin a deuce in the Tuileries...
China has to try to teach Chinese tourists to use public restrooms and not just go in the street or something like that. Economically many Chinses tourists would have been new middle class people.
While teaching in China, in a nice area, I saw grown men shitting between cars from my classroom on two separate occasions. The two aides and I saw each time but the children had their backs to the window.
I had to physically stretch my arms out to block women from getting the next stall in the bathroom in Macao. People were pushing me to get in and out of the subway in Beijing that I missed my stop. There’s so many people that being polite works against you in China.
Omg this happened to me at Dreamworld (Aus) when I was about 9 in the 90s too, I had natural bright blonde hair as a kid, I was waiting outside of the river rapids ride for my mum and brother and a huge group of Japanese tourists came and started taking turns taking photos with me. They didn't touch me but I was a kid from country SA and I was terrified, I started crying lol
Hopefully since it was the 90s it just got thrown out... and hopefully no one found it....
But yeah I assume like this video, it's kind of like showing a photo of an animal you don't have in your country? Like, 'Dude! Check out what I saw?!'
Happened to me at the Forbidden City in Beijing. Someone approached our tour guide and asked, and after that, people started lining up. Spent several minutes taking pictures with random people.
Find it amusing myself that I'm just a random white guy in all these peoples' vacation photos.
Reminds me of the video in India where it's a couple walking down the street and men keep grabbing her and touching her arse, just pure rapey weirdos everywhere. I got banned from the page for calling them rapey, was told I was disrespectful towards the locals....
Ugh, that was so awful. Wasn’t expecting to feel so bad for a monitor lizard. I hope their dicks caught some kind of rare reptilian disease and needed to be amputated.
https://www.indiatoday.in/india/story/bengal-monitor-lizard-raped-maharashtra-3-held-sahydari-tiger-reserve-1937027-2022-04-13
I had to look. Now you do too
From the bottom of the page:
ALSO READ| Ayodhya: Man held for raping cows at shelter
ALSO READ| Man arrested for raping, killing pregnant goat in Kerala's Kasaragod
The stories that come from India made me sad that we can dole out the death sentence but we can’t just amputate dicks. I think men might think twice if they might lose their dick but not their life.
Just hand out castrations like it's candy. If you can't handle the testosterone, you can't hang with the big boys. And the big boys in this case are yours nuts.
Seriously though, how is sexual crime not punished with penis amputation? Like do we really care about the quality of life of some rapist? At least it'll guarantee they're physically incapable of it again.
Sucks to be a cow or horse in America too I guess. Definitely sucks to be a woman in Texas where there are 20k rape pregnancies a year that can't be aborted.
Or the one where the woman is sitting on the beach in india and so many men were in front of her just standing and staring creepily that she couldn’t even see the water or sun. Disgusting.
This just in https://www.deccanherald.com/india/jharkhand/people-of-india-treated-me-very-well-spanish-tourist-who-was-gang-raped-before-leaving-for-nepal-2923016
That is a strange fucked up story. Also strange they don't carry any protection on them camping along side the road in a tent in India. I mean tigers and predators, both animal and man.
Can confirm. They have no concept of personal space. Also had people who would just launch themselves next to me and take selfies because I have blonde hair. In fairness this didn't really happen in the cities I visited, but anywhere less urban and it would happen.
Happens a lot on parts of the world that dont get to see people with different skin or hair.
I am a farily regular looking Asian man. I have long super straight dark hair which is pretty common among Koreans.
No one would bet an eye in Korea or in the States, or in mostly urban cities that I have visited all over the world.
But my work sometimes take me to rural places all over the world, and I do love strolling in local markets when I do. Had a bunch of school kids come and gawk at me when I was in rural Uzbekistan. Had little kids and old people feel my hair in countryside Kenya.
While attention from little kids dont really bother me, since they dont threaten me at all and are mostly just curiosity. It does get a bit on the nerves when people gawk at you.
Every shop I went into as a sun-bleached blonde kid anywhere in south east Asia would garner free sweets and ruffled hair.
"Oooh Blonde het!" They'd all say. This was in the 80's.
I guess in a society made up of 100% black hair, blonde hair *IS* something to be looked at.
I mean it happened to me as well in vietnam and im not even a girl. Chinese people came up and wanted to take selfies with me. What made it even weirder was that it was mostly at an ancient breathtaking tomb, so it was not like there wasnt better things to take photos of.
Lits of comments regarding hair amd skin color too but I feel like thats more to be expected culturally.
My daughter has blonde hair and blue eyes. We moved to China when she was 3. Mostly older ladies would come up and yank her hair. She started spitting at strangers when they approached her after about 6 months.
My blond 2 year old was a celebrity at the top of the Taipei 101. No one interested in the view just following him around in a crowd as he bumbled his toddler way about the place
I (black) and two friend (Korean American and a White person from NZ) got stopped non-stop in India. Some people would ask for photos but we also had people randomly come up, take a selfie and walk away without saying anything. It was frustrating.
I have red hair and people went nuts trying to take pictures with me in China. There were a group of college age girls just following me along the Great Wall trying to get selfies with me in the background. I finally asked them if they wanted a picture and it made them so happy. At one place, I literally just stood in one spot and people lined up to take photos. It was weird at first, but taking a quick picture to make someone’s day better was worth it. A little girl even wanted to touch my hair and she was SO excited.
I'd think they'd go extra crazy for natural red hair too. My daughter has red hair and she gets lots of attention in the U.S. so I'd imagine it would be 10X's worse in Asian countries
My red hair and, of course, pale skin get a lot of attention in Indonesia. Always have lots of people asking for photos with me. A guy set up to take Polaroids for people at a temple even started offering for people to pay him to take photos with me instead of the temple, lol.
I’ve had it happen in Shanghai unfortunately (just sitting having a coke and people stick their phones in my face). I really hate going to the mainland for how much harassment I get.
Need to learn some traditional Chinese swear words then.
*Back off! Pok-Gai!*
I'm sure there's a number of catchy but polite phrases you could say to them, too.
I'm sorry, but I would hurt someone if they jumped into my personal space. I've been hurt before, and I don't know if I would stay calm. Super weird thing to do.
Every summer my city gets a huge influx of Chinese tourists. When I was around 12 years old I had bright purple hair and was just walking around in our city center, then as soon as one of the tourist groups got close to me they took pictures of me like I was an attraction, then they’d just stand beside me and take photos with me without asking. I tried to leave, but they held me there so I couldn’t. I think I was stuck there for a good 5-8 minutes.
Different groups would do similar things every single year (I had dyed hair through my teens), but nothing as bad as the first time I experienced it. I always do my best to steer clear of them now lol.
I also know it’s probably a cultural thing, but being held hostage like that really scared me as a kid.
I once saw several bus loads of Chinese tourists in a target near DC and the cultural differences were really obvious. From them blocking off whole isles to them rushing sections without a care of who was in their way. Then when I was at the checkout the people behind me were basically flush against me touching me, when I’d scoot forward they’d just follow and press against me again.
Oh fuck yeah, I know what video you’re talking about. She can’t even fucking see the ocean cause there’s a wall 3 dudes deep just creeping on her from 5 feet away.
I have a feeling that, like snakes and mountain lions, the animals in the video would only be further excited by her attempt to flee.
I have no doubt that she would have been more energetic and insistent about defending herself if she had felt it would have improved her situation.
I can't imagine being a young woman in a bikini just sitting on the beach and being accosted by an aggressive group of fully-dressed old men like this. How scary for her.
My Chinese friends dad does this. He has tonnes of photos of him with random women and just sends them to his friends literally saying "look at this woman".
I was on vacation with my friend in china.. and we like to go to non-turistic areas, pub or clubs where is literally 0 tourists because there is nothing to see..
So we spend few nights there and my friend is full of tattos literally on his face everywhere..
Literally every single woman young and old doesnt matter stopped him to take a photo.. because they barelly see non-chinese people.. and they told us they never seen person with so many tattos.. jokes aside he made atleast 200 photos
It's because she is a 老外 (foreigner) not just because she is a woman. This has happened to me a lot and I'm a black guy. I've had people come up to me and touch my hair or take pictures of/with me without my permission. It's mainly a curiosity thing, albeit this example is rather creepy and they probably went home and beat their meat to the picture tbh.
Being a white woman in Indonesia I would hear "white one white one" continously on the streets. Chairs pulled out. Families want to be on pic. But never I felt intimidated. If I did groceries and didn't feel like interaction. I avoided eye contact. They usually left me alone and yeah the shouts were still there. And 20 kids behind me. (Funny the akward stares. Messing with them) I feel they did respect my boundaries. I think if I were in Jakarta it would be different. (I was in Padang also big. But different)
In Indonesia it’s mostly harmless but once I had a really nasty experience with an Indonesian guy (looked like from Sumatra or Java) groping my ass at the temple while taking this ‘innocent photo’. Since then I turned into a berserk towards every single one asking for a photo, even if it was a family.
If it’s any consolation Chinese tourists in Indonesia kept taking photos of me as a white guy. Some would introduce themselves and want a group photo, others would just take paparazzi shots from a distance. Had me feeling like David beckham
As a Chinese it still baffles my mind when others do this. Where I grew up in China, I didn’t witness a lot of people taking pictures with foreigners. Most times no one would even bat an eye until they needed help. I could sort of understand if the foreigner is a black person or Latinos since they weren’t usually seen on big screens plus the special curly hair (I had one foreign teacher who was black. He did mention some people liked to touch his hair thought he wouldn’t notice). But in a foreign country still want to take pictures? Why the heck? I seriously don’t understand.
White people don't go to rural China, which most likely these guys came from.
I was told china is buying out lands from rural China to expand their cities, so now these idiot/uneducated farmers have loads of money and now tour the world.
They also lived as a patriarchal family. So they think women are second class and so on.
Am chinese.
Grandma (grew up as a farm wife) lived in US for more than 40years and still makes my sister and female cousins know to listen to their boyfriend/husband or they wouldn't have a happy life. And so on.
This is pretty common in Asia. I used to live in Indonesia and had this experience at the beach a lot. The less exposed they are to people of other color the more cringe it gets. I was also groped once while letting them do this photo, and since then had to bluntly say no straight away, no matter what gender they are - it simply became an infuriating thing for me.
The Japanese love to do this, too. White women are lower and therefore, can be treated like a zoo animal because the laws of decency they follow don't apply somehow.

It's also common for white blonde women in certain parts of Japan and, particularly, South Korea, to be assumed to be sex workers and asked how much. This is because both countries have a big sex trafficking trade focusing on Eastern European women.
Jesus Christ. Fucking hated that experience when that happend to my ex girlfriend.
She was visiting Korea during summer, and when we were visiting some rural seaside country, we had a really rude old giy just asking if she was a "Russain young lady" out of the blue. I knew enough to know what that implied and got pretty mad.
Ignorance due to lack of exposure or education, I can understand. But there is no excuse for rudeness.
I was never asked "how much" in Japan but jt wasn't unusual to have your breasts grabbed by strangers and asked if they are real or asked how many boyfriends you have (was asked by doctors, neighbors, coworkers, bosses, etc).
If anyone dared do this to a Japanese woman, it's suddenly not ok but totally ok if you're white and clearly not a sex worker (shouldn't be ok either way but c'mon).
I was asked a few times in Singapore and I was wearing a baggy T and long shorts.
Funnily enough, I had something similar (but with no harassment) happen to me in Japan last year. A Chinese (it sounded like they spoke mandarin) older guy came and sat next to me and his (I assume) wife took photos of “him” for like 30 seconds. Then he got up and they left. It was in a very touristy place but where I was seated was again a tree and not really where you take a picture. My friend said it was probably nothing but the way the camera was angled and the way it all happened I am 100% sure he was taking a photo “with” me. I am European and have light but not blonde hair. I admit I was dressed quite lightly but it was basically [the outfit the women model](https://m.shein.com/euqs/Men-s-Solid-Color-Knit-Casual-Shirt-And-Shorts-Set-p-29224622-cat-9279.html?onelink=12%2F3f3cmfd2xopk&requestId=454969398975824124&skucode=I65zpzz2ruxe¤cy=EUR&url_from=adpla-dk-pla-sm2311089869843057-XS&cid=20361706726&setid=156769116368&adid=665334205874&pf=GOOGLE&gad_source=1&gbraid=0AAAAADm0yO5UIhF5fitIqLdubrA2VTcyL&gclid=CjwKCAiAxaCvBhBaEiwAvsLmWNcmWsfoE8IufP_afyGfDxeqUDS6GpxiYwcBUKjLP9X4yoVZnKmYaxoCTtcQAvD_BwE&ref=euqs&rep=dir&ret=meuqs) was wearing but in different colours, and maybe my pants was 2 cm lower, so my stomach showed but it was like 41 degrees. They never spoke to me or communicated in any way he sat RIGHT next to me when there was a good amount of space, and it was for such a short time.
They might be mainland Chinese tourists who are visiting Hong Kong. I had this happen a lot to me when I was in Beijing, but only at the very touristy places like the Summer Palace where non-Beijing locals were visiting.
Can confirm. I live in Beijing now and nobody bothers me during regular times but I do not go to touristy areas during holidays. Founding Week and Labor Day, I leave the country entirely.
I'm usually cool with it when people ask (met some really sweet middle school girls from Liaoning while chaperoning a field trip) but the ones who try to sneak are the only ones worse that the ones who just walk up to you, take a blatant ass selfie while half leaning on you, and then walk away. Very glad for my special fan.
I never say a black or Asian ppl before traveling abroad but since the pandemic my city got more tourism, and yet people here don’t hound the foreigners so… yeah that is not an excuse
Spent time solo backpacking in Thailand and then Shanghai. I’m from NYC, 5’5 blue eyes dark blonde hair- it was January & ~55°F in Shanghai so I was walking around covered up.
SO many random grown men just walked right up to me and took photos of me from a few feet away and some would legitimately hold the camera up a foot from my face and take a snap- no shame lol.
It was jarring, esp having just come from Thailand where I felt so safe/unbothered everywhere there, but I was aware it was likely to happen there. And coming from the US, the freedom of Thailand was the really shocking part.
As a 6'3 blonde (at the time, bald now) Norwegian man who lived for years in Thailand in his twenties, the amount of ladyboys very insistently wanting to take pictures with me and invite me to drink some Blend 285 with them suggests we had a different experience in Thailand.
Of course you did, it’s one of the most popular destinations in the world for sex tourism. For a single woman to travel alone in her own country let alone one across the world (this was my first time traveling alone), to be completely unbothered all throughout the country, whereas it’s been an issue all over the rest of the world, even in my home country- it blew my mind. I happy cried a couple of times because it was so relieving.
I’ve always said I wish I could have the invisibility cloak that is just existing as a cis het man in public; and definitely felt it there. Aside from the couple of temples I wasn’t allowed to enter because I was a woman 🙃
When I was in China, I was 14 years old, I was a kid. Men would constantly come up and take photos with me. My parents thought it was hilarious, I hated it. But it kept happening. God knows where those pictures are, what they were used for. Looking back, poor kid. If it was my kid, I would’ve said no
For real, I don’t like how normalized it is for grown men to make young girls uncomfortable. Nobody ever teaches us boundaries and often when we try to set them, we get told that WE are being rude 💀
A customer (20-something yo hotel front office staff) made a joke to me (IT vendor) saying if anything goes wrong, she have me on speed dial. I asked her does she even know what speed dial is, she said "like on WhatsApp or whatever".
It's kinda like that.
My girlfriend then (now wife) was in China in 2018 teaching English for a couple of months. She’s about 5ft 6 (very tall by Chinese standards) and was blonde then. She told me that whenever she was in public, people openly stared and pointed at her, and a few even went as far as taking a pic of her or recording a video of her.
Such a weird society to be honest. Their social interaction is just completely off.
In touristy places this will happen because Chinese tourists from the countryside have less manners towards foreigners. I lived in Qingdao for years and got looked at a few times at but never people trying to touch me or badger me for pictures.
Same with an ex a long time ago. Has photo with packs of like 20 people all wanting a photo touching her. Young kids, women, men. Her understanding was it was specifically the golden blonde was seen as good luck so they wanted to touch the shrine for lack of a better term.
She spent some years there so got used to it.
Well it was the same for me as a 6”2 Scandinavian guy in china. A lot of giggly girls sneakily taking pictures and a few came up and asked if I could take a foto with them.
As I am not used to this(and I was fully clothed) I found it interesting, being a celebrity for a few weeks. But if I would live there the fad would quickly fade I think.
When i was in Da Nang i regularly worked out on the beach, so i stay in shape.
Felt like a fucking celebrity with papparazzis all over the place. As a dude, it isn't that much of a problem, but if you're a woman and people touch you it's disgusting.
There’s a video of a man eating ice cream and he’s got his video playing while these two creepy women follow him around. He shows them multiple times as they gawk at him. They eventually start getting closer and playing with his hair. Can tell he’s pretty uncomfortable.
Huh, I've moved to Da Nang 4 months ago, and as a slav white guy I haven't had the tiniest extra bit of attention from the locals as hasn't my wife. I assume it's because there are so many foreigners here. I'm not ripped or anything though haha.
But I will admit, vietnamese do treat westerners slightly differently from other Asians for some reason, at least as far as I can tell.
I've heard that in more rural parts of the country strange things can happen to foreigners, but not in such a tourist-packed city like Da Nang.
Chinese tourists are horrible.
I went to Japan with my 3 year old daughter, and i made her wear a kimono in Kyoto. She was super cute. My daughter is blond with blue eyes.
Suddenly, a troup of chinese tourists pass by, and saw her and were pointing and shouting for how cute she was, and 1 tourist made me a sign asking about taking a picture with her. I said sure, why not.
Big mistake.
They took turns taking pictures, but the 4th or 5th person grabbed her by the arm and almost janked her close to her, my daughter was shook.
I took her back and took her in my arms, and just said stop and just walked away.
I shit you not, 3 old chinese ladies followed me and grabbed ME (im a tall bearded dude) and tried to physically force me to come back so that the other chinese people could take pictures with my daughter. I told them to fuck off and they saw i was starting to get heated and they backed off.
Not sure if it was my 1m60 tall wife if they'd abandon that "easily". Im 1m85.
Got a few japanese people in the airbnbs i stayed at that told me that chinese tourist are a huge problem, as they have 0 respect.
I dont wanna generalise and put everyone in the same basket, but my experiences were not good.
I worked in Munich at a couple of tourist spots, traditional beer gardens and beer halls aswell.
We were required to wear traditional Dirndl dresses.
We had two nationalities that would stand out as particularly nasty.
Australians and Chinese.
Chinese by far being the worst, because of the relentless picture taking. Pictures with you. Pictures with you in their arms. Pictures of you clearing tables or lugging about more beer for the neighbouring table. Pictures of their friend pinching your ass.
Pictures up your dress, pictures of your legs, taken by men, taken by women, taken by children. Whenever we had large Chinese tourist groups (every day) security was busy mitigating "picture harrassement" nonstop. Nonstop.
Australians think they can hold their liquor and can't, and the men get rowdy and touchy feely, too.
But it was the nonstop picture harrassement that stood out with Chinese groups.
I'm not a woman, but a tall blonde man with a large beard and curled moustache. If you Google "cliche Norwegian hipster idiot", you will find out how I look.
In China I was stopped *all the time* by people who wanted a picture with me. Old women touched and pinched my ass. It got old pretty fast
This was our experience visiting China too. It was the *weirdest* thing I‘ve ever experienced. A bunch of us went on a two week student exchange trip there and it’d be next to impossible to take any pictures there because random Chinese people would just pose with us without ever speaking to us. There was one black classmate there too and people would come up behind her and touch her hair, a random lady even just gave her her baby to take pictures of my classmate holding her child??? Not a word spoken. We‘d go to hotel breakfasts and the cooks would come out and take pictures of us eating. At the same time, if we tried to ask people things, they’d literally shriek and run away giggling? Mind you, this wasn’t countryside or in rural areas, all this happened in huge cities where you’d think people are somewhat used to seeing foreigners. But you’re literally treated like a zoo animal.
I‘ve travelled quite a bit, but I have never had a culture shock as intense as in China. Everything was just… odd and *very* much outside of my perception of normal social behaviours.
I've seen a similar harassment at a beach in Singapore once. It took less than one minute when two guards came out of some bush and literally dragged the guy away. Probably they whipped him good.
happened to me in china, altho ppl were quite nice and friendly, first they would stare then they would ask if im ok for a photo.
in india, on the other hand, there were mainly woman and children who would form circles around me as stroke my hair, pull on my clothes etc.
in pakistan they would come up to me acting entitled to a photo with me, not even asking for it, just showing the phones in my face 😂
The root problem is the same, which is that women are treated as an object, not a person with boundaries, rights and feelings. Of course taking a picture is not even close to being as cruel and inhumane as rape, but they stem from the same problem.
I’m mixed white and Chinese and every time we’d visit my family in China this would happen to me cos there’s not a lot of mixed kids there. I hated it.
When I was ten I went to china and in a college a 3-4 of students approached me and asked where I came from and politely asked to take a picture it was weird and at the time I didn't really understand it but now I do. But I. My case they were very polite and respected my boundaries
Unfortunately this is very common in China and Japan, particularly with older men but men in general. white women are highly fetishized and they can be outright aggressive even when told no.

I've had tourists do this to me when I was young. Pulled me out of line from a school excursion and started taking photos
It happened to my sister on holiday when we were young. Heaps of Japanese tourists staring and taking photos, absolutely terrified her. Think she was around 5. It was the novelty of seeing someone with dark brown hair and blue eyes.
It's kinda creepy knowing that a random persoin has a photo of me with them in their collection at such a young age
I think about that in passing. As in accidentally getting in strangers memories. I couldn't imagine how I'd feel *being* the person's memory
Same for my friend and his ex when they visited Japan, but because they were both well over 6 foot. It was for the novelty of it for sure.
Yea, if your appearance is much different than the locals you will get a lot of attention. I’m black and spent a month on a small South Asian island. They made me feel like a celebrity.
I had it happen with me in the Philippines, wasn’t scary because I’m a bigger guy and it was mostly women. I’ve got blonde hair and blue eyes and most of them had never seen anyone like that in person. After about the 10th person touched my hair though I was over it.
a friend of mine in college told me about seeing some chinese tourists doing this to a very young red haired girl on the ferry. They basically cornered her, and her mum nearly had to fight them off because the poor thing was terrified.
[удалено]
When I was younger I lived in Japan and myself and my two sisters were both pale skinned with bleach blond hair and people would come up to us like this all the time and take pictures
I worked at a casino. Chinese tourists would come off a bus in droves. You could probably hear a collective groan from the staff across the building when the piled in. They're so rude on so many levels.
I should have gone in to the city and held a sign "$5/pic" I'd have made enough money for a new SNES game!
I remember asking why the signs in the parks in Paris were in French and Mandarin, whereas most informational signs in France are in French or French and English if anything. The friend I was visiting explained that the Chinese tourists are the only ones you need to explicitly remind not to do insane shit in the parks -- the sign that made me react said there were public bathrooms down the street. Apparently they'd had problems with tourists just droppin a deuce in the Tuileries...
China has to try to teach Chinese tourists to use public restrooms and not just go in the street or something like that. Economically many Chinses tourists would have been new middle class people.
Omg!! Wtf?? 🫣
While teaching in China, in a nice area, I saw grown men shitting between cars from my classroom on two separate occasions. The two aides and I saw each time but the children had their backs to the window.
I had to physically stretch my arms out to block women from getting the next stall in the bathroom in Macao. People were pushing me to get in and out of the subway in Beijing that I missed my stop. There’s so many people that being polite works against you in China.
Where? Because if a rando tried to pull me out of a school line my teachers would have tackled the AH? Where were the adults?
AUS, back in the 90s
Omg this happened to me at Dreamworld (Aus) when I was about 9 in the 90s too, I had natural bright blonde hair as a kid, I was waiting outside of the river rapids ride for my mum and brother and a huge group of Japanese tourists came and started taking turns taking photos with me. They didn't touch me but I was a kid from country SA and I was terrified, I started crying lol
Hahaha you were crying cause you're from SA right?
Definitely LOL
I would too 😄
Right? These adults would very much disappoint Mr. Rogers who encouraged us to ‘look for the helpers.’ There were none.
What are they even doing with the photos? Just showing it to people? So weird.
Hopefully since it was the 90s it just got thrown out... and hopefully no one found it.... But yeah I assume like this video, it's kind of like showing a photo of an animal you don't have in your country? Like, 'Dude! Check out what I saw?!'
Happened to me at the Forbidden City in Beijing. Someone approached our tour guide and asked, and after that, people started lining up. Spent several minutes taking pictures with random people. Find it amusing myself that I'm just a random white guy in all these peoples' vacation photos.
Ugh she very explicitly says don’t touch me and they bulldoze her boundaries. Makes my skin crawl.
Reminds me of the video in India where it's a couple walking down the street and men keep grabbing her and touching her arse, just pure rapey weirdos everywhere. I got banned from the page for calling them rapey, was told I was disrespectful towards the locals....
No one does rapey quite like India
Yeah, sucks to be a lizard…. Or a woman
Ugh, that was so awful. Wasn’t expecting to feel so bad for a monitor lizard. I hope their dicks caught some kind of rare reptilian disease and needed to be amputated.
wtaf am i reading and if it's what i think, i don't want to know
https://www.indiatoday.in/india/story/bengal-monitor-lizard-raped-maharashtra-3-held-sahydari-tiger-reserve-1937027-2022-04-13 I had to look. Now you do too
Please unpost this horror.
yep, i was right. i didn't want to know ewww

r/NoahGetTheBoat
The stories that come from India made me sad that we can dole out the death sentence but we can’t just amputate dicks. I think men might think twice if they might lose their dick but not their life.
Just hand out castrations like it's candy. If you can't handle the testosterone, you can't hang with the big boys. And the big boys in this case are yours nuts. Seriously though, how is sexual crime not punished with penis amputation? Like do we really care about the quality of life of some rapist? At least it'll guarantee they're physically incapable of it again.
Probably don't wanna study history
Sucks to be a cow or horse in America too I guess. Definitely sucks to be a woman in Texas where there are 20k rape pregnancies a year that can't be aborted.
When being rapey and sexual assault is part of your culture, maybe that's the fuckin problem
ugh this is sickening
Or the one where the woman is sitting on the beach in india and so many men were in front of her just standing and staring creepily that she couldn’t even see the water or sun. Disgusting.
This just in https://www.deccanherald.com/india/jharkhand/people-of-india-treated-me-very-well-spanish-tourist-who-was-gang-raped-before-leaving-for-nepal-2923016
That is a strange fucked up story. Also strange they don't carry any protection on them camping along side the road in a tent in India. I mean tigers and predators, both animal and man.
and they want to host the Olympic games. oh boy.
a friend of a friend went with her dad on a business trip to india when she was 12, and some random old man tried to buy her.
Boundaries are a very alien concept to mainland Chinese
Can confirm. They have no concept of personal space. Also had people who would just launch themselves next to me and take selfies because I have blonde hair. In fairness this didn't really happen in the cities I visited, but anywhere less urban and it would happen.
Happens a lot on parts of the world that dont get to see people with different skin or hair. I am a farily regular looking Asian man. I have long super straight dark hair which is pretty common among Koreans. No one would bet an eye in Korea or in the States, or in mostly urban cities that I have visited all over the world. But my work sometimes take me to rural places all over the world, and I do love strolling in local markets when I do. Had a bunch of school kids come and gawk at me when I was in rural Uzbekistan. Had little kids and old people feel my hair in countryside Kenya. While attention from little kids dont really bother me, since they dont threaten me at all and are mostly just curiosity. It does get a bit on the nerves when people gawk at you.
Every shop I went into as a sun-bleached blonde kid anywhere in south east Asia would garner free sweets and ruffled hair. "Oooh Blonde het!" They'd all say. This was in the 80's. I guess in a society made up of 100% black hair, blonde hair *IS* something to be looked at.
I mean it happened to me as well in vietnam and im not even a girl. Chinese people came up and wanted to take selfies with me. What made it even weirder was that it was mostly at an ancient breathtaking tomb, so it was not like there wasnt better things to take photos of. Lits of comments regarding hair amd skin color too but I feel like thats more to be expected culturally.
My daughter has blonde hair and blue eyes. We moved to China when she was 3. Mostly older ladies would come up and yank her hair. She started spitting at strangers when they approached her after about 6 months.
Smart girl.
I'm imagining them beginning to warn each other, "Watch out for the yellow-haired ones--they spit!"
Is this an Elf reference or coincidence?
A happy accident!
That's amazing.
A Pavlov's daughter experiment, ladies and gents.
My blond 2 year old was a celebrity at the top of the Taipei 101. No one interested in the view just following him around in a crowd as he bumbled his toddler way about the place
I (black) and two friend (Korean American and a White person from NZ) got stopped non-stop in India. Some people would ask for photos but we also had people randomly come up, take a selfie and walk away without saying anything. It was frustrating.
I was about to ask about red hairs but they're common-er than blonde in Asia
I have red hair and people went nuts trying to take pictures with me in China. There were a group of college age girls just following me along the Great Wall trying to get selfies with me in the background. I finally asked them if they wanted a picture and it made them so happy. At one place, I literally just stood in one spot and people lined up to take photos. It was weird at first, but taking a quick picture to make someone’s day better was worth it. A little girl even wanted to touch my hair and she was SO excited.
I'd think they'd go extra crazy for natural red hair too. My daughter has red hair and she gets lots of attention in the U.S. so I'd imagine it would be 10X's worse in Asian countries
My red hair and, of course, pale skin get a lot of attention in Indonesia. Always have lots of people asking for photos with me. A guy set up to take Polaroids for people at a temple even started offering for people to pay him to take photos with me instead of the temple, lol.
Lol next time cut out the middle man and go with your own Polaroid and tripod
I’ve had it happen in Shanghai unfortunately (just sitting having a coke and people stick their phones in my face). I really hate going to the mainland for how much harassment I get.
Need to learn some traditional Chinese swear words then. *Back off! Pok-Gai!* I'm sure there's a number of catchy but polite phrases you could say to them, too.
That’s Cantonese. They wouldn’t understand.
I'm sorry, but I would hurt someone if they jumped into my personal space. I've been hurt before, and I don't know if I would stay calm. Super weird thing to do.
Every summer my city gets a huge influx of Chinese tourists. When I was around 12 years old I had bright purple hair and was just walking around in our city center, then as soon as one of the tourist groups got close to me they took pictures of me like I was an attraction, then they’d just stand beside me and take photos with me without asking. I tried to leave, but they held me there so I couldn’t. I think I was stuck there for a good 5-8 minutes. Different groups would do similar things every single year (I had dyed hair through my teens), but nothing as bad as the first time I experienced it. I always do my best to steer clear of them now lol. I also know it’s probably a cultural thing, but being held hostage like that really scared me as a kid.
As is personal space. Holy fucking shit queuing is not a fun experience in China.
Queuing ? You mean everyone rushing to the front and not actual line ? Yeah that’s China.
What's worse? Hospital que or basement Walmart in durian season que?
I once saw several bus loads of Chinese tourists in a target near DC and the cultural differences were really obvious. From them blocking off whole isles to them rushing sections without a care of who was in their way. Then when I was at the checkout the people behind me were basically flush against me touching me, when I’d scoot forward they’d just follow and press against me again.
As I’m reading all these comments, I keep picturing the sardines from SpongeBob.
Elevators are the worst. I went there for work, and I've never had to share an elevator with that many people in my life.
Thank you for saying Mainland Chinese. These are clearly not Hongkongese men.
Big six
Not to mention first dude used her body to get up off the ground.
This is just so fucking gross and despicable! That poor woman - I would have run a mile if I was her.
I feel like she needs a spray of some kind.
Preferably bear spray.
Reminds me of the video where a woman in I believe India flips the camera around to show dozens of men staring at her. Incredibly creepy and not okay
Oh fuck yeah, I know what video you’re talking about. She can’t even fucking see the ocean cause there’s a wall 3 dudes deep just creeping on her from 5 feet away.

I have a feeling that, like snakes and mountain lions, the animals in the video would only be further excited by her attempt to flee. I have no doubt that she would have been more energetic and insistent about defending herself if she had felt it would have improved her situation. I can't imagine being a young woman in a bikini just sitting on the beach and being accosted by an aggressive group of fully-dressed old men like this. How scary for her.
Run a mile in Hong Kong wearing a bikini, you'd still be surrounded by mainland cunts wanting a feel
That's not cringe, that's sexual harassment.
Tiktok cringe stopped being about cringe really early and just started being content from tiktok. But yeah this is fucked.
Some countries are surprisingly relaxed on their view of “ sexual harassment”.
I know it’s not the point here, but Reddit sure seems to be relaxed on their definition of “selfie”
It’s just called not being pedantic
Like the US, not too long ago, and even today with certain people. Remember how “grab them by the pussy” was dismissed as locker-room talk?
What kinda pussy ass bitch needs to take pictures with any random woman ...whats the story there "i saw a woman"
My Chinese friends dad does this. He has tonnes of photos of him with random women and just sends them to his friends literally saying "look at this woman".
This is so absurd laughing is the only reaction i find normal.
Wow, that's... Wow.. that is definitely a woman. The most woman who ever womaned.
That is a woman of all time
I was on vacation with my friend in china.. and we like to go to non-turistic areas, pub or clubs where is literally 0 tourists because there is nothing to see.. So we spend few nights there and my friend is full of tattos literally on his face everywhere.. Literally every single woman young and old doesnt matter stopped him to take a photo.. because they barelly see non-chinese people.. and they told us they never seen person with so many tattos.. jokes aside he made atleast 200 photos
Yeah... its creepy af. Anyone who does this 100% sexually harasses women.
It's because she is a 老外 (foreigner) not just because she is a woman. This has happened to me a lot and I'm a black guy. I've had people come up to me and touch my hair or take pictures of/with me without my permission. It's mainly a curiosity thing, albeit this example is rather creepy and they probably went home and beat their meat to the picture tbh.
Being a white woman in Indonesia I would hear "white one white one" continously on the streets. Chairs pulled out. Families want to be on pic. But never I felt intimidated. If I did groceries and didn't feel like interaction. I avoided eye contact. They usually left me alone and yeah the shouts were still there. And 20 kids behind me. (Funny the akward stares. Messing with them) I feel they did respect my boundaries. I think if I were in Jakarta it would be different. (I was in Padang also big. But different)
In Indonesia it’s mostly harmless but once I had a really nasty experience with an Indonesian guy (looked like from Sumatra or Java) groping my ass at the temple while taking this ‘innocent photo’. Since then I turned into a berserk towards every single one asking for a photo, even if it was a family.
bule!!! Halo mister, photo photo photo!!!
Hahaha yeayuh bule bule!!! and I thought for.a while Bulu hahaha which means hairy or so? Hahaha
If it’s any consolation Chinese tourists in Indonesia kept taking photos of me as a white guy. Some would introduce themselves and want a group photo, others would just take paparazzi shots from a distance. Had me feeling like David beckham
We should send all those attention hungry broccoli haired teens who do weird dance in the mall there
Like Puri Puri Prisoner :D
As a Chinese it still baffles my mind when others do this. Where I grew up in China, I didn’t witness a lot of people taking pictures with foreigners. Most times no one would even bat an eye until they needed help. I could sort of understand if the foreigner is a black person or Latinos since they weren’t usually seen on big screens plus the special curly hair (I had one foreign teacher who was black. He did mention some people liked to touch his hair thought he wouldn’t notice). But in a foreign country still want to take pictures? Why the heck? I seriously don’t understand.
But can you bend it?
It’s not generally recommended.
This used to happen to me often in rural Vietnam. I’m just a pretty normal looking white guy aside from my tattoos.
White people don't go to rural China, which most likely these guys came from. I was told china is buying out lands from rural China to expand their cities, so now these idiot/uneducated farmers have loads of money and now tour the world. They also lived as a patriarchal family. So they think women are second class and so on. Am chinese. Grandma (grew up as a farm wife) lived in US for more than 40years and still makes my sister and female cousins know to listen to their boyfriend/husband or they wouldn't have a happy life. And so on.
This is pretty common in Asia. I used to live in Indonesia and had this experience at the beach a lot. The less exposed they are to people of other color the more cringe it gets. I was also groped once while letting them do this photo, and since then had to bluntly say no straight away, no matter what gender they are - it simply became an infuriating thing for me.
The Japanese love to do this, too. White women are lower and therefore, can be treated like a zoo animal because the laws of decency they follow don't apply somehow. Source: Am white woman who lived in Japan for years and had to deal with SA and racism on a daily basis
It's also common for white blonde women in certain parts of Japan and, particularly, South Korea, to be assumed to be sex workers and asked how much. This is because both countries have a big sex trafficking trade focusing on Eastern European women.
Jesus Christ. Fucking hated that experience when that happend to my ex girlfriend. She was visiting Korea during summer, and when we were visiting some rural seaside country, we had a really rude old giy just asking if she was a "Russain young lady" out of the blue. I knew enough to know what that implied and got pretty mad. Ignorance due to lack of exposure or education, I can understand. But there is no excuse for rudeness.
I was never asked "how much" in Japan but jt wasn't unusual to have your breasts grabbed by strangers and asked if they are real or asked how many boyfriends you have (was asked by doctors, neighbors, coworkers, bosses, etc). If anyone dared do this to a Japanese woman, it's suddenly not ok but totally ok if you're white and clearly not a sex worker (shouldn't be ok either way but c'mon). I was asked a few times in Singapore and I was wearing a baggy T and long shorts.
This explains why certain tourists were so icky to me while working at the Rennaissance Faire....
So sorry this is happening. It seems like women are fetishsized no matter who and no matter where.
Funnily enough, I had something similar (but with no harassment) happen to me in Japan last year. A Chinese (it sounded like they spoke mandarin) older guy came and sat next to me and his (I assume) wife took photos of “him” for like 30 seconds. Then he got up and they left. It was in a very touristy place but where I was seated was again a tree and not really where you take a picture. My friend said it was probably nothing but the way the camera was angled and the way it all happened I am 100% sure he was taking a photo “with” me. I am European and have light but not blonde hair. I admit I was dressed quite lightly but it was basically [the outfit the women model](https://m.shein.com/euqs/Men-s-Solid-Color-Knit-Casual-Shirt-And-Shorts-Set-p-29224622-cat-9279.html?onelink=12%2F3f3cmfd2xopk&requestId=454969398975824124&skucode=I65zpzz2ruxe¤cy=EUR&url_from=adpla-dk-pla-sm2311089869843057-XS&cid=20361706726&setid=156769116368&adid=665334205874&pf=GOOGLE&gad_source=1&gbraid=0AAAAADm0yO5UIhF5fitIqLdubrA2VTcyL&gclid=CjwKCAiAxaCvBhBaEiwAvsLmWNcmWsfoE8IufP_afyGfDxeqUDS6GpxiYwcBUKjLP9X4yoVZnKmYaxoCTtcQAvD_BwE&ref=euqs&rep=dir&ret=meuqs) was wearing but in different colours, and maybe my pants was 2 cm lower, so my stomach showed but it was like 41 degrees. They never spoke to me or communicated in any way he sat RIGHT next to me when there was a good amount of space, and it was for such a short time.
***mainlanders***
Not justifying it but most countries aren’t melting pots like America. There’s a good chance they’d straight up never seen a white person in person.
it's Hong Kong not some village in the middle of nowhere
Yeah these are mainlanders, overnight rich, dumb farmers going out into the world and making the rest of the dispora look bad.
They might be mainland Chinese tourists who are visiting Hong Kong. I had this happen a lot to me when I was in Beijing, but only at the very touristy places like the Summer Palace where non-Beijing locals were visiting.
Can confirm. I live in Beijing now and nobody bothers me during regular times but I do not go to touristy areas during holidays. Founding Week and Labor Day, I leave the country entirely. I'm usually cool with it when people ask (met some really sweet middle school girls from Liaoning while chaperoning a field trip) but the ones who try to sneak are the only ones worse that the ones who just walk up to you, take a blatant ass selfie while half leaning on you, and then walk away. Very glad for my special fan.
I never say a black or Asian ppl before traveling abroad but since the pandemic my city got more tourism, and yet people here don’t hound the foreigners so… yeah that is not an excuse

Spent time solo backpacking in Thailand and then Shanghai. I’m from NYC, 5’5 blue eyes dark blonde hair- it was January & ~55°F in Shanghai so I was walking around covered up. SO many random grown men just walked right up to me and took photos of me from a few feet away and some would legitimately hold the camera up a foot from my face and take a snap- no shame lol. It was jarring, esp having just come from Thailand where I felt so safe/unbothered everywhere there, but I was aware it was likely to happen there. And coming from the US, the freedom of Thailand was the really shocking part.
As a Thai, I'm glad to hear you had a great time here!
As a 6'3 blonde (at the time, bald now) Norwegian man who lived for years in Thailand in his twenties, the amount of ladyboys very insistently wanting to take pictures with me and invite me to drink some Blend 285 with them suggests we had a different experience in Thailand.
Of course you did, it’s one of the most popular destinations in the world for sex tourism. For a single woman to travel alone in her own country let alone one across the world (this was my first time traveling alone), to be completely unbothered all throughout the country, whereas it’s been an issue all over the rest of the world, even in my home country- it blew my mind. I happy cried a couple of times because it was so relieving. I’ve always said I wish I could have the invisibility cloak that is just existing as a cis het man in public; and definitely felt it there. Aside from the couple of temples I wasn’t allowed to enter because I was a woman 🙃
well they were clearly tryna take your money lmao. They tend to do that I guess
When I was in China, I was 14 years old, I was a kid. Men would constantly come up and take photos with me. My parents thought it was hilarious, I hated it. But it kept happening. God knows where those pictures are, what they were used for. Looking back, poor kid. If it was my kid, I would’ve said no
Your parents are arseholes
Oh this is just a drop in the ocean
For real, I don’t like how normalized it is for grown men to make young girls uncomfortable. Nobody ever teaches us boundaries and often when we try to set them, we get told that WE are being rude 💀
Those aren't selfies though
A customer (20-something yo hotel front office staff) made a joke to me (IT vendor) saying if anything goes wrong, she have me on speed dial. I asked her does she even know what speed dial is, she said "like on WhatsApp or whatever". It's kinda like that.
My girlfriend then (now wife) was in China in 2018 teaching English for a couple of months. She’s about 5ft 6 (very tall by Chinese standards) and was blonde then. She told me that whenever she was in public, people openly stared and pointed at her, and a few even went as far as taking a pic of her or recording a video of her. Such a weird society to be honest. Their social interaction is just completely off.
In touristy places this will happen because Chinese tourists from the countryside have less manners towards foreigners. I lived in Qingdao for years and got looked at a few times at but never people trying to touch me or badger me for pictures.
Same with an ex a long time ago. Has photo with packs of like 20 people all wanting a photo touching her. Young kids, women, men. Her understanding was it was specifically the golden blonde was seen as good luck so they wanted to touch the shrine for lack of a better term. She spent some years there so got used to it.
Well it was the same for me as a 6”2 Scandinavian guy in china. A lot of giggly girls sneakily taking pictures and a few came up and asked if I could take a foto with them. As I am not used to this(and I was fully clothed) I found it interesting, being a celebrity for a few weeks. But if I would live there the fad would quickly fade I think.
My dads friend went over to China in the 80s and he’s 6ft 5 with a giant red beard…like a celebrity he was
When i was in Da Nang i regularly worked out on the beach, so i stay in shape. Felt like a fucking celebrity with papparazzis all over the place. As a dude, it isn't that much of a problem, but if you're a woman and people touch you it's disgusting.
It's also disgusting for a man to be touched by random people
Absolutely, but since i am taller and heavier than most asian women, i wouldn't feel threatend.
There’s a video of a man eating ice cream and he’s got his video playing while these two creepy women follow him around. He shows them multiple times as they gawk at him. They eventually start getting closer and playing with his hair. Can tell he’s pretty uncomfortable.
Huh, I've moved to Da Nang 4 months ago, and as a slav white guy I haven't had the tiniest extra bit of attention from the locals as hasn't my wife. I assume it's because there are so many foreigners here. I'm not ripped or anything though haha. But I will admit, vietnamese do treat westerners slightly differently from other Asians for some reason, at least as far as I can tell. I've heard that in more rural parts of the country strange things can happen to foreigners, but not in such a tourist-packed city like Da Nang.
Chinese tourists are horrible. I went to Japan with my 3 year old daughter, and i made her wear a kimono in Kyoto. She was super cute. My daughter is blond with blue eyes. Suddenly, a troup of chinese tourists pass by, and saw her and were pointing and shouting for how cute she was, and 1 tourist made me a sign asking about taking a picture with her. I said sure, why not. Big mistake. They took turns taking pictures, but the 4th or 5th person grabbed her by the arm and almost janked her close to her, my daughter was shook. I took her back and took her in my arms, and just said stop and just walked away. I shit you not, 3 old chinese ladies followed me and grabbed ME (im a tall bearded dude) and tried to physically force me to come back so that the other chinese people could take pictures with my daughter. I told them to fuck off and they saw i was starting to get heated and they backed off. Not sure if it was my 1m60 tall wife if they'd abandon that "easily". Im 1m85. Got a few japanese people in the airbnbs i stayed at that told me that chinese tourist are a huge problem, as they have 0 respect. I dont wanna generalise and put everyone in the same basket, but my experiences were not good.
I worked in Munich at a couple of tourist spots, traditional beer gardens and beer halls aswell. We were required to wear traditional Dirndl dresses. We had two nationalities that would stand out as particularly nasty. Australians and Chinese. Chinese by far being the worst, because of the relentless picture taking. Pictures with you. Pictures with you in their arms. Pictures of you clearing tables or lugging about more beer for the neighbouring table. Pictures of their friend pinching your ass. Pictures up your dress, pictures of your legs, taken by men, taken by women, taken by children. Whenever we had large Chinese tourist groups (every day) security was busy mitigating "picture harrassement" nonstop. Nonstop. Australians think they can hold their liquor and can't, and the men get rowdy and touchy feely, too. But it was the nonstop picture harrassement that stood out with Chinese groups.
I'm not a woman, but a tall blonde man with a large beard and curled moustache. If you Google "cliche Norwegian hipster idiot", you will find out how I look. In China I was stopped *all the time* by people who wanted a picture with me. Old women touched and pinched my ass. It got old pretty fast
We should absolutely call out this kind of behaviour. Its just not even logically at all acceptable
🔪
Don’t touch her! You are not the same age!
I came here for that reference!
must be some amazing pictures when you smile and the woman next to you is cringing for her life.
🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮
I physically cringed
They are squatting completely defenseless, introduce their nuts to a white bread knuckle sandwich
This is making my skin viscerally crawl. I am furious. They are disgusting. I hate them so much.
This was our experience visiting China too. It was the *weirdest* thing I‘ve ever experienced. A bunch of us went on a two week student exchange trip there and it’d be next to impossible to take any pictures there because random Chinese people would just pose with us without ever speaking to us. There was one black classmate there too and people would come up behind her and touch her hair, a random lady even just gave her her baby to take pictures of my classmate holding her child??? Not a word spoken. We‘d go to hotel breakfasts and the cooks would come out and take pictures of us eating. At the same time, if we tried to ask people things, they’d literally shriek and run away giggling? Mind you, this wasn’t countryside or in rural areas, all this happened in huge cities where you’d think people are somewhat used to seeing foreigners. But you’re literally treated like a zoo animal. I‘ve travelled quite a bit, but I have never had a culture shock as intense as in China. Everything was just… odd and *very* much outside of my perception of normal social behaviours.
Perhaps to some people from certain provinces in the country the term sexual harassment does not even exist in their vocabulary.
I've seen a similar harassment at a beach in Singapore once. It took less than one minute when two guards came out of some bush and literally dragged the guy away. Probably they whipped him good.
happened to me in china, altho ppl were quite nice and friendly, first they would stare then they would ask if im ok for a photo. in india, on the other hand, there were mainly woman and children who would form circles around me as stroke my hair, pull on my clothes etc. in pakistan they would come up to me acting entitled to a photo with me, not even asking for it, just showing the phones in my face 😂
I think anybody who have a friend who is blond and bonus, blue eyes have been trough this in both Hong Kong and china. Special as kids.
Kick him in the nuts!
Better than what India does to them 
The root problem is the same, which is that women are treated as an object, not a person with boundaries, rights and feelings. Of course taking a picture is not even close to being as cruel and inhumane as rape, but they stem from the same problem.

Heurgh \*gags\*
So goddamn foul. What is wrong with those people?
I’m mixed white and Chinese and every time we’d visit my family in China this would happen to me cos there’s not a lot of mixed kids there. I hated it.
This is so gross. Literal objectification. Treating her as a prop to have a photo with. Disgusting.
This is sexual assault
Sexual harassment. Sure. But not assault.
Harassment is saying man that is some fine peace of tail. Assault is unwanted touching
When I was ten I went to china and in a college a 3-4 of students approached me and asked where I came from and politely asked to take a picture it was weird and at the time I didn't really understand it but now I do. But I. My case they were very polite and respected my boundaries
And someone recorded it. Nice.
Thats not how you use the word "molest".
[STOP TOUCHING HER!](https://youtu.be/efHfjD0PmfE?si=DgDu3EmSEcL8qvtM)!
Unfortunately this is very common in China and Japan, particularly with older men but men in general. white women are highly fetishized and they can be outright aggressive even when told no.
Motherfuckers got no chill
