We're thinking of making a t-shirt with Mao Zedong's face on it or, like, a shirt that says "Democracy loves you" .... just something playful and good-natured. (Someone suggested making a shirt with an arrow pointed to the side and right above it "I'm with a commie".. but that was a bit much).

On some level, I think it's a good way to start things off; it's a good conversation starter and whatnot.. but, on another level I think it could get awkward if the new person takes it the wrong way.

What do you guys think? Good? Bad? Have you ever had a foreign roommate?

Thats really a bit strong of you especially if your meeting this person for the first time.

okay. i'm chinese (ethnically) and i like what you're saying
i actually like the joke but that's because i've been in canada for a long time now
honestly, if she was just coming from china, i'm THINKING she'd be a bit offended.
BUT i still like this stuff, i suggest you work it in after you get to know each other

I dont know, but I think your first objective should be to convince your new roommate that Asian people are responsible for the laundry, cooking, and cleaning, and thats just how its done in America.

If you want them to hate you
