Stupid Foreign Devils!

Saw this on a Chinese forum and translated it. Hilarious (at least in my opinion):
“Foreign Devils Are All So Stupid!�
A Communist Bandit Cadre’s Report Upon Returning From An Educational Journey Overseas

Comrades: 
I have some great findings from my latest educational journey overseas. My findings will be particularly valuable for working towards our goal of thoroughly smashing rightists’ worship of all things foreign. In fact, the one thing that left the deepest impression on me from my journeys is that: foreign devils are all so stupid! Not a single one of them is as smart as we Chinese. This proves again that we Chinese are the greatest nationality on this earth! Everyone thinks highly of us Chinese all around the world. Allow me to provide a few examples.
First let me tell you just how stupid these foreign devils are. There was a massive forest fire while I was in Australia. It’s firefighters’ responsibility to put out a fire, right? Well, there were a bunch of people who asked for time off from work or who used their vacation time to travel long distances and help put out the fire. What were they trying to get out of this, I wondered. It turned out that they didn’t ask for anything for their help! Just look at how dumb they are! Even if they don’t want a reward or some kind of payment, at least they should get a warm meal out of it! But those people helping to fight the fire paid for their dinner out of their own pockets. Could they make their stupidity any more blatant?
Once, when we traveled out to the Alps, I saw a lot of people carrying little bags with them. I guessed that maybe they were collecting some nifty plants from the mountains, so I took a peek: I found out that all that was inside their bags was garbage! My goodness! If you’ve got garbage, just toss it on the ground! They’ll hire someone to come and pick it up! What’s more, I didn’t see anyone wandering around with red armbands to issue a fine, so what are they afraid of? You’ve caught the “dumb bug� if you’re holding on to your garbage and dragging it hundreds or even thousands of miles back to your home!
These foreign devils also demonstrated their stupidity through their rigidity and inflexibility. At red lights, even when there were no policemen or any other cars, drivers would still just sit there waiting like idiots; sometimes the car in front of us would be driving so slow, and we had plenty of space to pass them on the side of the road, but our driver just wouldn’t pass. He wouldn’t even beep his horn! He’d just stay behind the other car as if he was in no hurry at all. Grab any old Chinese driver off the street and they’re sure to beat any of those stupid foreign drivers!
One other time, our car suddenly stopped in the middle of a journey. When I looked out the window, I saw a line of sedans parked in front of us. I thought there must have been an accident, so I ran up to take a look: then I saw that the root of all this was just a pig strutting its way across the road! Those foreign devil drivers were so stupid that they were just waiting for this pig to cross the street! It was one of the weirdest things I’ve ever seen! I suddenly had a great idea, and thought to myself: “you stupid foreigners, just watch how we Chinese use our quick wits and agility to solve this problem!� I charged forward and gave that pig a couple of good kicks! That little pig began started grunting and crying, and moved over to the side of the road like a good piggy!
Once, to demonstrate the utter inflexibility of these foreign devils, as well as to have a laugh at their expense and seek revenge for all of our compatriots who have been wronged by foreign devils over the past century, I stuck a “Men’s� and “Ladies’� sign on two adjacent phone booths in Berlin. The results were just as I expected: those male devils would line up in a long line without even considering going into the empty “Ladies’� phone booth! 
Because these foreign devils are so stupid, we smart Chinese will always have an edge over them. For example, foreigners love to line up all the time, but we don’t like to stand in line. Let me tell you, just lie to those stupid foreign devils and tell them that you are in a hurry because you have something to do. They’ll fall for it, and will even give you a big smile as they let you in front of them.
Now you can really take advantage of the train system in Europe! They usually don’t check tickets on the train, and don’t check it when you get off either. So you know what? You can buy a cheap little 10 Euro ticket and swagger your way through a discounted journey that would cost you hundreds!
And in some cities in Europe, the local government puts some bikes out on the streets for tourists to ride for free and enjoy the city. Now is this stupid or what? I can totally go and switch the crappy old tires on my old bike for new ones, and no one would even notice! 
One other thing that I noticed while abroad is that we could drive for hundreds of kilometers without seeing even a single toll booth! All that I can say is that government officials over there are beyond worthless, ignoring such a large source of potential income.
Also, don’t believe the hype that all of these foreign devils’ things are so great. I would even say that some things are designed idiotically. One such design caused me some serious grief. We were in a park in Canada, and I had to piss so badly! I found a pay toilet that said I needed to insert one dollar. Well, the door was open, so I didn’t think twice about it and just walked in to take a piss. Well, once I was finished, I discovered that the door wouldn’t open! I felt around and didn’t have any change any on me, so there was no way to get out! I started kicking and cursing in that port-a-potty, but no one paid me the slightest mind! Comrades! I was in the potty for five hours until someone finally came and rescued me! Those foreign devils never stop talking about “human rights,� but I sure didn’t find any “human rights� in that damn toilet! Motherfucker! 
People are always saying that foreigners are “liberated,� but it’s not true at all! When we were traveling around, no matter how large of a crowd those foreign devils formed, they always remained so quiet. They didn’t dare speak too loud for even a second. How oppressed they must feel! This is what they call freedom? We Chinese don’t care: if we wanna say something, we say it; and if we wanna yell something, we yell it! This is already a common bond that holds all of us Chinese together. There was one time that I got separated from our group on a trip. I was getting worried that I would never find them again when I suddenly heard a clamor off in the distance. I ran over and I was right: there were my fellow Chinese!
It was only after I went abroad that I realized that we Chinese are quite prominent all around the world, and enjoy an elevated status. I’ve heard that in the past it was hard to find places abroad that used Chinese, but that’s certainly changed nowadays! If you take a look, even the hookers in the red light districts speak Chinese. When we went, a lot of hookers greeted us with perfectly fluent Chinese! And one of them even yelled “we can give you receipts to charge it to your work unit!� It’s great to see them have such a thorough understanding of our national conditions!
What’s even more surprising is that there are a lot of signs abroad written in Chinese, like “No Spitting,� “No Littering,� “Please Keep Your Voices Down,� etc. Upon close inspection, I realized that most of these signs were printed only in Chinese. Comrades, when I saw these signs in our mother tongue, I really felt such pride at being Chinese!
Thank you all. (Applause!!!)

Looks like we've got a very sarcastic taiwanese or Hong konger on our hands (it's traditional chinese). Very funny!

Maybe the author is from Hong Kong? Nobody in Taiwan uses the term "洋鬼�."

But anyone can learn that word and use it for the sake of satire... I'm a whitey from the US and I've known it for years.

What sort of forum was this originally posted on? This is just a hunch but the style of the original makes me think that the author is not a native Chinese speaker/writer. Maybe a clever westerner for whom Chinese is a second language posted it just to mess with people.
It's pretty funny no matter who wrote it.

No, it looks pretty Chinese to me.

Hmmm :? I very much doubt if the author is a native speaker of Mandarin though. The incorrect use of grammar (check the way 有 and 是...的 are used in several places) has sort of suggested that the author is either a dialect or a second language speaker.

Um, I don't really understand traditional Chinese, so I just scanned. There are some Chinese people who don't pay attention to grammar either, especially if they're writing on the 'net. As for the 是...的, some of my grandpa's friends actually talk like that; the 是...的 makes everything sound somewhat pompous. Now that you mention it, it does feel sort of strange. But I guess we'll just have to see. :)
