It was over a week ago but posters may have missed nearly 2000 Chinese students demonstrating outside the BBC in Manchester against the anti Chinese coverage by the BBC.There was no 'free Tibet' counter demo.

Not so much that. I don't reckon it's racism, just misinformation.

It's since I've read about the extent to which the Tibetans themselves supported the overthrowing of the old regime that I've started to change my mind. It's not an ethnic conflict at all, but an ideological one - theocracy vs 'communism' (as was).

 

[CharlieAddict]

have you got that article online? be interested in having a read of that.

there is a certain extent of racism but it depends what source we're talking about...(ie, CNN).

The thing with the kind of chauvanism that says that people should have freedom of association, expression and protection from state brutality regardless of where they live is that there is altogether too little of it, in both the East and the West.

The majority of Tibetan Nationalists are racial supremicists, with fascistic sympathies sponsored by the CIA.
