| Does this look "delicate" to you? | |

| And Ma is hardly "introverted" either: | |
| https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jack_Ma | |
| [quote]He became interested in English as a young boy and began | |
| practicing with English speakers in the Hangzhou International | |
| Hotel. | |
| ... | |
| For nine years, Ma rode 27 km (17 miles) on his bicycle every | |
| day to work as a tour guide of Hangzhou for foreigners in order | |
| to practice his English. He became pen pals with one of those | |
| foreigners, who nicknamed him "Jack" because he found it hard to | |
| pronounce his Chinese name.[17] | |
| ... | |
| In 1980, while he was riding his bike to practice English with | |
| tourists, he met Ken Morley, who was traveling with his family | |
| with the Australia-China Friendship Society.[18] Ken's son, | |
| David, became pen pals with Ma and kept in touch after the | |
| family left China. Years later, the Morleys hosted Ma in | |
| Australia, changing the course of his life completely.[/quote] | |
| "Promoting southern Chinese (and even Vietnamese) culture would | |

| I agree. Just don't use the above meme to do it! (Even more | |
| absurdly, the supposedly "rugged" skull is drawn to be less | |
| robust than the supposedly "delicate".....) | |
| Your old example (Ip Man vs Jin Shanzhao from the Ip Man movie) | |
| was better: | |

| Yen in real-life is from Guangdong, whereas Fan in real-life is | |
| from Shandong. | |
| Heck, let's look at the real-life Ip (also from Guangdong): | |

| Yeah, I disagreed with the Jack Ma reference but brushed it | |
| aside due to the other good points in the meme. However, I | |
| realize now that the drawings themselves are inaccurate. | |

| [quote]Can confirm, don't know why. People in the north tend to | |
| be bulkier and put on more weight. [/quote] | |
| [quote]Maybe it's because of Mongol blood in them?[/quote] | |
| [quote]The amount of meat people eat goes up as you go north. In | |
| the Guangdong, when you eat at home meat is almost like a | |
| condiment. Then when you go up to Shanghai, you get pieces of | |
| meat in sweet sauce, then you go up to Beijing and eating kebabs | |
| is a huge thing, PLUS they have a big drinking culture, then you | |
| go up to Harbin, and it's super cold and there's a big Russian | |
| influence, so the food (while fantastic!) can be very | |
| heavy.[/quote] | |
| [quote]Today, you could eat heavy food in the south thanks to | |
| air conditioning, but south China has been settled for thousands | |
| of years, thus the cuisine adapted to the thousands of years | |
| without air conditioning in the hot, humid climate, thus light | |
| foods, which is still often the case in rural China.[/quote] | |
| [quote]For most of human history, the only way you were eating | |
| meat on a DAILY basis, was you were physically hunting down wild | |
| animals. Either that, or Mongol-style nomads, relying mostly on | |
| meat but you herded enough cattle to feed yourself regularly. | |
| For the average subsistence farmer, meat was an occasional | |
| thing. Fish and seafood if you were close to an ocean or big | |
| river, but you simply didn't have enough animals to eat meat | |
| everyday.[/quote] | |
| [quote]Northern Chinese here. | |
| As said before somewhere here: | |
| Genetics definitely play a role. Southerners can be skinny on a | |
| different level to us. We call their look "bones covered by | |
| skin"... Somehow they often don't have much meat. Genetically | |
| they are closer to Vietnamese often than to us. | |
| ... | |
| My particular culture from northern china is ... I'd say is bit | |
| like Russia. Very machismo, very loud and brash. Not very | |
| delicate. I guess the Mongols influenced us all.[/quote] | |
| [quote]North-west are Turkic ethnicity and I know from Turkish | |
| ppl they love "round women" [/quote] | |
| [quote]Nobody in South China wants a fat girl, I know from | |

| We used to parade mass killing of animals in medieval hunting | |

| Manju Baturp (who considers cruelty to animals a good thing) is | |
| just doing his usual routine of trying to encourage "New | |
| Chinese" to be proud of their worst traits. | |
| Prometheus (who presents as considering cruelty to animals a bad | |
| thing) worsens the confusion by adding the claim that | |
| pastoralists are better for animals than agrarians are (which is | |
| why I don't believe he actually cares about animals). | |
| Ice Age Autist (who also considers cruelty to animals a good | |
| thing) at least helps undo the confusion added by Prometheus. | |
| It should be noted Jurchens are northern themselves, albeit from | |
| the part of the north with at least some arable land as | |
| mentioned in the first post of this topic. Culturally they are a | |
| hodgepodge: | |
| https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jurchen_people | |
| [quote]Jurchen (Manchu: ᠵᡠᡧᡝᠨ | |
| Ju�en, IPA: [dʒuʃən]; Chinese: 女真, | |
| Nǚzhēn [nỳ.ʈʂə́n]) is a term | |
| used to collectively describe a number of East Asian | |
| Tungusic-speaking people.[a] They lived in northeastern China, | |
| also known as Manchuria, before the 18th century. The Jurchens | |
| were renamed Manchus in 1635 by Hong Taiji.[6] Different Jurchen | |
| groups lived as hunter-gatherers, pastoralist semi-nomads, or | |
| sedentary agriculturists.[/quote] | |
| As usual, the bad attitudes mostly predominated: | |
| [quote]Like the Khitan people and Mongols, they took pride in | |
| feats of strength, horsemanship, archery, and hunting. | |
| ... | |
| The Qing stationed the "New Manchu" Warka foragers in Ningguta | |
| and attempted to turn them into normal agricultural farmers but | |
| then the Warka just reverted to hunter gathering and requested | |
| money to buy cattle for beef broth. The Qing wanted the Warka to | |
| become soldier-farmers and imposed this on them, but the Warka | |
| simply left their garrison at Ningguta and went back to the | |
| Sungari to their homes to herd, fish and hunt. The Qing accused | |
| them of desertion.[117][/quote] | |
| The Qing at least had some good intentions. The same cannot be | |
| said of Manju Baturo. | |

| Prometheus is an "Aryan" larper (similar to Bronze Age Pervert) | |
| i.e. a Turanist, but who pretends to care about animals, and | |
| probably quotes Schopenhauer, which is what the original tweet | |
| calls him out for , along with Li Shuo, by referencing actual | |
| Schopenhauer quotes showing how Chinese did care for animals, | |
| contrary to what Shuo and Prometheus claim (which Shuo and | |
| Prometheus both agree on (i.e. that Chinese do not care for | |
| animals), only disagreeing on the why this is the case | |
| (Prometheus argues Aryan blood, Shuo probably argues Turanian | |
| blood). The original tweeter however does not refute | |
| Prometheus's claim on agrarianism vs pastoralism, which is why I | |
| posted IceAgeAutist's tweet that corrects him. | |

| This is actually a common talking point, believe it or not. I | |
