Might be a little different from family to family and based on socio-economic scale, but for draft purposes, this is the Older generation Ranking of Tolerance

Top of the list:

- Hong Kong Chinese/Mainland Chinese* (depends on where you come from)
- Anywhere else Chinese
- Oreiental anywhere *(see exceptions below)
- Western Europeans (exception to the English) and Canadians
- Oceanic
- Eastern European (not including Baltic and Russia)

Middle of the list:
- Americans
- The English
- South Americans
- Baltic and Russia

No Go list:
- Japanese
- Africans (dark)
- Natives/Aboriginal
- Indian
- Jewish (depends on family, since I have seen happy and bad relations)
- Middle East

Modifiers:
- +10 if upper class
- +5 if middle class
- + 10 if one of the following: doctor, lawyer, Engineer, Banker, Accountant, Successful business man, Sciencetist, Banker
- -5 if occupation is in the trades
- -10 for lower class
- +5 if speak same Chinese dialect
- +10 if skilled in the traditions
- +10 if famous (Iggy would get this bonus)
- -10 if infamous, or can bring shame to the family name (Avery wouldn't do so good)

I write this as a satire, and by no means do I or my family agree with his. However, I think it's pretty accurate in terms of the older generations view of outsiders. However, as the poster above mentioned, it's a subtle but implied sense of racism

Interesting list. The order that you have Jewish and English there seems odd to me. Many asian parents and people of the older generation make no differentiation between them (or even understand that) and simply lump them in all as white or caucasian.

In other news, I find myself in the past couple days being irrationally anti-semetic because somebody sent me all these pictures of Zhang Ziyi having so much fun with her Jewish multi-millionaire fiance. BUT I STILL LOVE SEINFELD!
