Even Tina Turner is now Swiss.

USA is a rat hole to avoid at all cost. This is why irs is based in usa.
Nah... I dislike like them because their Alpine Skiing team (and especially Didier Cuche) is/was incredibly strong...

Liechtensteiners are cool, though. The only country I can imagine nobody has a grudge with. Besides some hippies, who are against banking.

That is marketing, not racism.

We are talking about Switzerland, which has nothing to do with Asia or China.

You're talking about Swiss being racist, so I am saying the same about Chinese.
No, it is not marketing. It is being prejudiced to fellow Asians.
Aside from that, parents in the school where my daughter goes keep on complaining about three teachers of their kids who are Indians from South Africa because they thought these teachers aren't capable of speaking English well because of their ethnicity. They based everything on their ethnicity without researching first about South Africa's official language which is English.

Ask our neighbors...

Now when you mentioned Israel... the Finnish-Israeli relations are icy at best. Not sure Finland is very hip in Greece or Portugal at the moment either.

Same thing happens in Japan. Japanese hate Asians, and all the Asians east of Burma hate Japan lol. White Europeans have preference over other Asians there.

Those bloody Norwegians. If I see a Norwegian in real life they will pay for crossing my path. I saw a Norwegian flag in October at a charity cycling event and I restrained myself from burning it. They got lucky that time, but I will not be so lenient the next time.

So basically no one who plays a big role on the international stage.
The road to being not disliked is to be quiet and unassuming.
