What?

I have a feeling my answer is going to be "who cares," but before offering it I should at least know what the question is.

My phone has been acting weird lately, auto correcting words it shouldn't. The question should of read, 'who will win the not very important rap war, America or China?'

But if you got beef, we can start our own rap war Lil Xelor. I'll freestyle rap battle you bruh. (Kidding)

LOL

TY for noting that.
 
In USA we say we know we're not perfect so we commonly settle for the good instead. In China and always in China they are certain they are perfect and the originator of all things good in the world. This is the fundamental difference between America the diverse nation of immigrants and China the monolith of culture, society, civilization that has voluntarily closed itself to the world except most recently and to some limited extent in economics only.


Gwei lo or gwai lou is a common Cantonese slang term for Westerners. In its unmodified form, it refers to light skinned people of European descent and has a history of racially deprecatory use. Cantonese speakers frequently use gwailou to refer to Westerners in general use, in a non-derogatory context, although whether this type of usage is offensive is disputed by both Cantonese and Westerners alike.[1][2]

Gwái (鬼) means "ghost", and lóu (佬) means "man". The term gwáilóu therefore literally means "ghostly man",[3] and is sometimes translated into English as "foreign devil".[4] In Chinese, "ghost" can be a derogatory term used as a curse or an insult.[5] The term ghost has also been used to describe other ethnic groups, for example, a 17th-century writer from Canton Qu Dajun wrote that Africans "look like ghosts", and gwáinòu (Chinese: 鬼奴; literally: "ghost slave") was once used to describe African slaves.[6]

Guizi (鬼子; pinyin: guǐzi) is a Mandarin Chinese slang term for foreigners, and has a long history of being used as a racially deprecating insult.


Laowai (老外; pinyin: lǎowài; literally: "old foreigner/outsider"), is the word most commonly used for foreigners, and is a less pejorative term than guizi. Although laowai literally means "old foreigner", but depending on context, "old" can be both a term of endearment and one of criticism.

These days younger Chinese call a foreigner they accept as "uncle." In their totality the Chinese people like Americans, accept us eagerly and seek us out consistently. Americans on the other hand can be fascinated by the eternal China while not being much interested in the Chinese themselves who are after all boring and predictable.
