Is it true that Chinese people can't swim

I have never ever seen a chinese person in the swimming pool, aprt from George Cheung but he just sits on the side. I think they just sink and it's something to do with genetics.

 

Scientific fact is that they're like gremlins if you add water they multiply or something. Hence the population explosion.

 

no and i would like to drown a few myself

 

have you ever

seen a chinese person at the super red tykes matches? i think i saw a whole family once in the back of the north stand. it was a bit confusing becuase they were all wearing super red tykes home shirts from the 1986 season and the dad of them all had two holes cut out of his shirt about the size of a small cup just exactly where his nipples were! honestly.

 

Many Chinese people

Indeed, many people from the Far East, have an intolerance to alcohol. This goes back to how our ancestors made water safe for drinking. In Europe people tended to ferment fruit and crops and the alcohol produced killed the germs within the water, while in the Far East they boiled water and produced tea. Consequently, the people of the west built up a tolerance to alcohol, which was passed down to their offspring through their genes. Many people of the east do not have this gene.

In the same way, many westerners built swimming pools and developed a tolerance for those, but those from the east still cannot tolerate them.

On the other side of the coin, many people from the far east will eat any kind of crap like toads and birds nests where as us westerners wouldn't touch them with a ******* barge pole. Apart from the French.

RE: Many Chinese people

which library?

 

RE: Many Chinese people

Where I work, there is a Chinese guy who, very occasionally, goes down to the pub with us. After about 1 and a half pints he is a blubbering idiot, and his head swells and goes bright red, causing people all around to laugh and point.

 

RE: Many Chinese people

now I think about it, he swims like a lovely person as well. And shouts rather than talks, like an American.

 

RE: Many Chinese people

Another (ethnically) Chinese girl I know, from Essex, gets drunk very easily too, but doesn't go bright red. However, after a bottle of Stella she's anybody's. Not sure if this proves the Chinese' intolerance to alcohol or that all Essex girls are slappers.

 

RE: Many Chinese people

Well all the above posts have cheered my day up no end, tears down me cheeks they were )

 

Good Point Ads, but we've got one in our local baths

And he goes like the clappers in one of those parts of the pool that is 'laned off' for the really serious swimmers. Those lanes are not suitable for people like me who just lounge in the corner. I like going there because there are normally a lot of women around, and the law of averages says that at some point I'm bound to be swimming in water that's been up their fannies.

Which race make the best swimmers ? My money is on the Ruskies, the water they have is so cold that they probably don't want to stay in it very long, so would develop as very quick swimmers

"the law of averages says that at some point I'm bound to be swimming in water that's been up their fannies."

You dirty Barsteward. Lol none the less.

Eqaully likely to be swimming through water that has been round the bell of some ugly, cheese encrusted bugger.

 

Adam - what is true is this.

Pigs cannot swim and the staple diet of China is sweet and our pork balls in batter. It's only natural therefore to assume that the average chinaman cannot swim for toffee. (Oh and mandarin is uncannily like oinking, alot) ..... and er..... every Chinese johnson I've ever seen is all curly like.

This is proof positive.

 

Don't know abart t' Chinese but Africans on the other hand ...

don't make good swimmers either, for 2 reasons.</p>



1. They have a higher bone density than Caucasians</p>



2. Shoulders are different from ours [which is why all african people can clasp their hands together in front of themselves and without breaking them apart but them over their heads and behind their backs</p>



P.S. They also have a greater percentage of 'fast twitch muscles' which make them more suited to sprinting.</p>

Or wanking?

 

More Chinese facts

They all have fathers who drive Mercedes Benz cars. My local church is inundated with Koreans on a Sunday (not the same of course, but as is this not a scientific paper I don't care) and they all arrive in their Sunday best in Mercedes Benz cars.

Then my Chinese mate's Dad drives a Merc.

And then on 'Good Gracious Me' they did that song - "Oh lord, won't you buy me a Mercedes Benz, my friend has got seven, I must make amends".

An Asian thing obviously. Something to do with honour and showing your status in the community.

 

Just wait til 2008

I think that theory will be well and truely debunked at the next Olympics

 

As usual

full of ****!

 

RE: may i remind of a story tou did not read

In 1950,when i was based in Hong Kong
New territoriess
i was a driver of a bedford truck
i had to take some lads out to build a baily bridge
it took several days
this water inlet was Tidal
and each day,the tide came in
it brought the body of a chinese lad about 3 years old
on the fourth day, the lads could not take any more
so one waded in the water,
they had made a wooden cross
gave the baby a decent burial and named him KIM
