Was just wondering whether Chinese HGs treat Foreigners differently from Local punters.
this thread seems a pretty complete recap of previous discussions on the topic.
Of course, even if you have The Definitive And Scientifically Accurate Answer to the question, it's actually not much use to know it.
Why?
Because the real underlying question is not how do they treat foreigners, but instead "How will an HG treat me?"
And that, as we all know, has much less to do with race than it has to do with personal chemistry.
Probably 80% in the attitude and personality of the punter (Foreign or Local)
and 20% in the attitude and personality of the girl
Realities are
some girls, and some agents, are indeed racist (aren't we all, in our darkest moments?) but it's mostly based on ignorance and fear, which can be handled
conversely an HG in Hong Kong is very clear she needs to give good service to all her visitors, and her agent will give her limited flexibility for being choosy
No matter what the underlying prejudices and fears are, they go out of the window one second after "Hello", and from there on the interaction is unique to the two of them and how they're feeling that day.
