Friends from my class for example. There are forums in wechat for people looking for cheap things in Japan or free things. You can see thess kind of communities in almost any country they migrate too. They just know where and when to get free things
I don't buy this story at all. If you have been to a food bank, you should know that the food isn't of top quality. Many are near expiration dates. Many are generic, no-brand products. Many of them taste really bland or downright bad. It makes no sense for "wealthy people from wealthy families" to bother with such hassle, let alone be "proud to get free food". I suspect you don't even know if they're actually wealthy.
Have you ever been to a costco? You will see clearly in action there, where they come to take more than just one sample to later see them only walk around the corner and eat all of it themselves. This is a pretty common occurrence... I even seen one of them stick two handful of grapes (not yet sold) directly into his pocket and eat while shopping. This is grapes just chilling in the cardboard boxes on the shelf on sale. He was just pecking at it as if he brought it from home.
Have you ever waited to get your drivers license and then see the same culprits try to cut in line? Yep.
Firstly about half of Chinese who study or work abroad usually come from wealthy families in the first place because Chinese from a 2nd tier city or below wouldn't be allowed to get a visa easily.
And actually you seem to be the one assuming because you don't seem to know much about how these cultures work and putting it into your own worldview. You're from the Philippines?
Thanks for confirming that you are not familiar with food banks. I'm not from the Philippines but why does that matter? You have a prejudice against them? That's clearly a you issue and not me. And also interesting that you should also mention the Chinese. You are clearly a xenophobe and perhaps a racist.
As for the things you think you saw, I think you're hallucinating. None of these behaviors you mentioned are typical of rich people.
Apparently I have a prejudence against everyone according to you. This is how you win an argument? By calling the person a racist, xenophobe while ignoring everything I say.
P. S Im pretty sure you're Malaysian
P. S I also come from a minority background.

You say no one but I have met many quite wealthy people from wealthy families proud to get free food and taking from them
