In Germany, the white Germans tend to have a very positive view of Chinese people. The Germans tend to have very positive stereotypes about Chinese people being very intelligent and hardworking. It is a lot easier for Chinese men to be accepted as an equal in Germany than in America. In Germany, Chinese people used to be highly respected and most of the Chinese men used to marry white German girls. As a Chinese man, I take it as a positive compliment from the Germans that some German internet company has thought positively about Chinese people being smart, friendly and appealing to the German internet consumer market by choosing a Mr Wong logo. I am very flattered. Thank you sincerely, Germany from the bottom of my heart. Just like I took it as a positive compliment that many nice German girls thought positively of me and wanted to go out with me just because many German girls had positive stereotypes about Chinese guys being mysterious, exotic and highly attractive for white German girls.
