Well...the story is really not that surprising. Asians are completely different from the pansy, politically-correct and emasculated Asian men from American or Western countries, and they're not afraid to say or do things that offend other foreigners.

Having said that, it was wrong for the Chinese man to do the stabbing. But, such cases are rare in Asia and pale in comparison to the hate crimes you see in Western countries, such as the knockout games in the States, or stabbings related to a minority dating a White women. So, remember that before reading this story.
