That some kind of misplaced racism here. Not sure how you think these Chinese stereotypes would have affected people's enjoyment of sliding seats?

More likely the sliding seats just weren't very good.

Curious. I've read your comment several times and I can't work out where you're seeing racism. Is it the word clamshell? That just means something that opens and shuts in my circles.
I'm not sure if there was a ninja edit or I accidentally replied to the wrong comment but I was responding to someone who was blaming "The type of passengers out of Hong Kong airport (ie Mainlanders)" on the seats not being adopted. It was definitely racist but yeah I look bad now lol.
