"Is this whiskey?"

Obviously a stereotype of Chinese people speaking English. Hmph.

That being said, Chinese people around the world hardly speak English like this! Somehow this stereotype from maybe before World War II, has carried on till today.

The world of spoken English has changed.

Looks like stereotypes need to be updated too!

P.S. In case you are wondering what the joke is all about, this is the text in proper English:
Two Chinese dudes break into a distillery.

One turns to the other and says, 'Is this whiskey?'

The other one says 'Yes, but not as Risky as robbing a bank'!!
