[[File:Uncle-and-Jade-in-tour-bus.png|200px|thumb|'''Uncle''':[[Screw Politeness, I
To Western sensibilities, some Asian cultures, particularly Chinese, can seem very impolite. They talk loudly and sharply, and come across as bossy and impatient. This actually stems from [[Values Dissonance|simple culture clashing]]. It's not to say rude Asian people don't exist, but the kind of behavior we associate as rudeness comes from factors related to culture and language.
Line 15:
Contrast [[Japanese Politeness]] (although Japanese people are not always portrayed as polite), [[Inscrutable Oriental]].
{{examples}}
== Anime and Manga ==
* In the English version of ''[[Axis Powers Hetalia|Hetalia]]'', China, comes to a meeting of the Allies very late. He states that he was cooking and that
{{quote|'''China:''' ...My cultural arrogance means I am neither sorry nor remorseful.}}
* Stand-up comic [[John Pinnette]] (who is quite fat) had a bit about being thrown out of an all-you-can-eat Chinese Buffet:▼
{{quote|You been here '''four hour'''!!! You go home now!!!}}▼
** The line is reused in one ''[[Robot Chicken]]'' [http://robotchicken.wikia.com/wiki/Iron_Man%27s_Coming skit] where [[Iron Man]]'s metal-ness marching through metal tunnels has clearly worn [[Yellow Peril|The Mandarin]]'s patience thin.▼
* [[Margaret Cho]] does an impression of her mother that relies on this trope but tends to be decidedly affectionate. Most of her mother's brashness comes from trouble with the English Language (the only one Margaret speaks) and urgent concern for her daughter. In her rush to [[Mama Bear]]ing, some things just come out wrong.▼

== [[Live-Action TV]] ==
* Played with on ''[[Las Vegas]]'', with Polly the Korean manicurist. She's rude as anything, not because she's unusually bossy or callous, but because she doesn't hesitate to prattle on and on about her sex life in mixed company.
