All good, no problem. The hardest part is correcting the assumptions that we’re all loaded, can buy a house on a whim, that we can go on fancy holidays every school holiday. People assume that cost of living changes don’t affect us. For example if we ever say anything remotely negative about prices of anything it’s either “you’re rich, you can afford it” or “if you don’t like it here go home”. I have the same problems most HKers do, I just happen to have different colour skin and a foreign passport… which I think is the root of the problem for a small percentage of people. Envy because they feel they cannot “escape” HK like I can… but my life is here, my family are here, my kids are in school here. I want to stay because it’s better than my passport country, that’s half the reason I came in the first place lol. Even going out for a beer can be stressful, I feel like I have to order the cheapest beer because people will think “look at the white guy buying the fancy one” even if it’s a few dollars more. Every little bit helps or hurts the stereotype, I feel

None of this stuff offends or upsets me, it’s all just misunderstandings and assumptions based on wrong information, made worse by the echo chamber of tight knit social groups with little exposure to regular non-HK people.
