Well the guy has a valid point, but I wouldn't call it racist.
Certainly in HK they have a strong value of 'face', that is it's important to be respected by people & they have a somewhat materialist attitude. they wouldn't say good morning to tramps etc
the problem is, when they come to blighty, the immigration stuff scowl at everyone & treat someone wearing jeans & flipflops, exactly the same as someone wearing a bespoke suit.
all rather leveling & I think that what makes this place a better place to live in.
