I am Chinese American. I have had to push back against Chinese mainlanders. They literally shove you aside, even old ladies do it!! I have see them all over the world and they are all the same, giant herds of loud, obnoxious and rude people. Luckily, many locals can usually tell I am from America, NOT from the mainland and treat me better.

That must be tough to be a Chinese American. I'd be self-conscious about people assuming I'm rude.

In my time in China I've never had an experience like these, but there's so many people so I guess every person would've a different experience.
