Interesting comment Carlstar.
You use words like 'arrogant/hate/no skills/wish they would go home.' Wow.
If and when I meet someone I don't feel comfortable with the looks of, I choose to question my own biases. Are they arrogant? Or is that just the way they hold themselves? (Example; my best friend is the nicest guy I know, but he looks scary. His body and face are just shaped that way.)

Should I hate strangers for appearing this way? Or is that as ridiculous as it sounds? I'm not even sure how a person can look arrogant, or look like they have no skills. Is it because they walk tall and look comfortable in their skin? Should we all slouch and look afraid just in case you come along? Wouldn't want to make you unhappy, now would we? The King's feelings should be foremost in all of our minds. Perhaps if you can wear a crown, I will better be able to serve you should you happen to be in the lift with me.

Should I wish that they 'go home?' Of course not. How arrogant would I be to assume I should decide where the world's people choose to live.
After a cursory analysis, it would appear that maybe you are arrogant? Yes, I think so. A hating, arrogant, shuffling type person (not a strutter) who wants everyone to go home and not play in your sandbox.
So, please, wear that crown, and display proper signage on your sandbox. In this way, I will be sure to leave you alone. Cuz for me, I will try not to judge strangers, foreign OR chinese. But you have made it clear that you're someone to avoid :)
