Young people tend to be oblivious to the realities of the world because they ' re young and haven ' t encountered said realities . This is usually remedied by adulthood . As for being liberal , that generally stems from the idea that being open minded and accepting is better than being a close minded arsehole . <| sep |> Thats a poor arguement . China is a huge country . Are you saying you understand all of China ? Half the time Chinese dont ' t understand other Chinese . Heck , I know plenty of people who have been in China 20 or 30 years . If you are in your early twenties , then these folks have been in China as long as you or even longer . And for them it was adult years . And despite what you think , not every foreigner lives in an expat bubble . There is mutiple other things wrong with that statement as well but . too lazy to type on my mobile .
