Ethnocentrism - hating thyself
Ah, English language blogs in China pollute the great country by bashing it over their filthy toilets (true), public defecation (true), unhygienic eating habits (true), tendency to rip people off whenever there is an opportunity (true), and unrestrained spitting in public places (true), and “that sums up what these blogs are really all about: they provide forums for arrogant ethnocentric Westerners to boast about how great they think their own countries are when compared to China.”
Erm. I’m ethnic Chinese, born and raised in Southeast Asia. I have a very healthy disgust for the greed and lack of hygiene I experience at the hands of Mainland Chinese, as well as foreigners (who can only be Westerners, according to Mark Anthony Jones) who’ve been here too bloody long. What does that make me?
(Richard, MAJ obviously takes you awfully seriously. If it really is him.)

Personally, I feel it’s fairly easy to be disgusted with a large segment of the population of any country.
For example, “my” president, Mr. Bush, does not defecate in public. Yet if that were all he did, many Americans would feel far less disgusted and embarassed by his behavior.
