NPR is interviewing journalists covering the World Cup, including one Chinese student Christina reporter from Shantou University. Christina is the roommate of another interviewee from a western country. Then the host suddenly asked the other woman, 'how are you getting along?, she is not stealing your toothpaste?' What kind of joke is that? It's on air right now.

That's not a joke. It's derogatory, low-taste insulting! Westerners hide behind their own language and do this all the time. They think they can get away with doing this. The person being insulted, often doesn't quite understand what's being talked about since it's his 2nd or 3rd language.

It's common for college roommates to steal each other's toothpastes. It appears to be a bad joke. I guess the host could have been a bit more sensitive here.
