So I had a nice evening last night with various friends, at four different watering holes. Sometime around eleven we stopped by Beer and Cheese on Jianguo and had a distasteful conversation inflicted on us by some drunken lout who works at AIT. This guy was racist, misogynist, and totally ignorant of Taiwan's history, culture, everything. My bullshit-meter went off when he started proclaiming his analysis of Taiwan's sunflower protests was the straight truth, yet he didn't know who Wang Jinping was, nor did he know recognize the names Chen Weiting and Lin Feifan. The bullshit was bad enough but when he started ogling teenage girls just walking by, in the same breath making lewd comments about them and insulting his wife who was waiting for him at home, well that's when my upper lip started to curl in disgust. I mean this guy had just met us, and he's telling us this stuff? Ick. When he finally staggered off to a taxi, there was a collective sigh of relief. If that guy is at all typical of AIT staff, it's a pretty sad reflection on the caliber of people they're recruiting
Honestly, Maoman, aren't you the one who started a Facebook group to raise money for a drunk driver who took police on a high speed chase? Didn't you also support another drunk driver who killed a man? I find your subjective application of morality a tad troubling, hypocritical even.

You do realise the same could be said in regards to a few of your friends whom you have supported and continue to support. But I suppose someone is a "drunken lout" only if they are not one of your friends. They are upstanding, mildly inebriated gentlemen, strung up by a biased Taiwanese legal system when they are your your friends. Got it.

So do you think an AIT employee making comments about girls in a private, off-duty and off-the-record conversation is worse than what your friends have done? Why the sudden, selective outrage? Of course, you have never blogged anything similar, right? Oops, yes you have apparently.
