I dunno why, but it really seems that way in asia, if u are foreigner, u're treated the best

I have experience because I have family in china and I'm often there and all the ppl I'd hung out with were really like "<ou like basketball? that's so cool" even if it's a total normal thing

in the mind of the asian ppl, foreigners are like super stars and I guess that's why they're always portrayed the best
