Chinese 'dama' dance to bad tune
A photograph showing a group of Chinese "dama" (literally, "big mamas") doing a square dance in front of the Louvre in Paris has sparked a heated online debate. Many netizens say the photograph has been doctored to show Chinese people in poor light, even though the person who posted it online swears that it is authentic, says an article in Beijing Morning Post. Excerpts:
The term "Chinese dama" was first used by The Wall Street Journal at the beginning of 2013 to describe middle-aged, middle-class Chinese women who, according to the paper, were a prime force influencing the global gold market. Now, Chinese dama have apparently become a group of ridicule by performing and trying to promote the neighborhood square dance on a bigger stage, or in other words, trying to spread a problem to other parts of the world.
