Kinda like when you take a taxi in Shanghai and end up being taken for a tour of the entire city without knowing it... until the cab meter starts reading ridiculous numbers.

Why is this tagged “racist”?

Because it gives Shanghai a bad rep?

That's precisely the etymology I've heard. The Wikipedia entry supports that view as does http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/shanghai

This should be quite a challenge to render such a sentence in Hebrew... :)
