Hey they treated plenty of non-whites as 2nd class citizens too...sort of had a revolution about it.

Yeah, I seem to recall that little revolution. They sure underestimated those "ragamuffins" didn't they? Surprise of their lives. And now they serve *you* tea. History is funny that way.

 

[INDIC]

hey've always treated non-whites as 2nd class citizens (As an Indian, you probably know about the British and their arrogance) - but because China is richer now.

Among Indians, the hate for the legacy of British rule runs deep, by 1947 they left nothing in India's economy irrespective how much general Brits try to whitewash it. But it quite baffling to see Honkongers admiring British rule, may be because of the huge economy Brits left for them.

And that is why the supa powa India 2030 will not emerge

Because communism didn't come to us.

Bear in mind that the occupy protests, as vocal and disruptive as they are, do not represent the majority of Hong Kongers. In fact, we're starting to see some backlash against those agitators. Check out the pictures of the counterprotesters that I posted.

But as with any colonized areas, you'll always have some people who are self-loathing and have self-esteem issues where they worship their former masters with slavish devotion. It's Stockholm syndrome on a wide scale and China and India would do well to ruthlessly stamp it out.

Exactly, he wants to turn it into a white supremancy stuff as usual, to show how asians have been marginalised/considered inferior by the 'hegemonistic evil west '. Lool

He doesnt even know that we treated even the U.S the same way when we were in control of the country. the U.S had to go through a brutal independence war(helped by the french traitors., if not they would have been under our rule for far longer) against us before it could get its independence after which it also went through a brutal civil war. So all wasnt that rosy. So its not just like we treated just 'asians' that way. Ask even ireland, they will tell you more.

No Taxation without Representation!

Gotta admit, my friend, how in the world did a bunch of rag tag colonial militia were able to best the most powerful professional Army in the day, the British Army, just really impresses me.

It's the western media's way of discrediting anything that doesn't jive with their propaganda. Anyone against "democracy" must be paid by commies. Of course that's clearly not the case and the irony of it all is that many of those democracy "protesters" *are actually* funded and led by American operatives. And we have pictorial evidence of that. But hypocrisy has never stopped white journalists from gloating in the past and it won't now.

I know that, buddy.

One could apply the same reciprocity, too. How some members in China view those who are pro-democracy as a western-funded, western-taught "Hanjian" race traitors.

Normally, I'd say touche. But in this case, we have photos of occupy protesters meeting with agents from the US embassy. A little suspicion is warranted to say the least but judging from past American attempts to destabilize China (including the CIA arming Tibetan rebels in the 60s), most Chinese people are past giving American actions the benefit of the doubt.

 

[AgentOrange]

For the record that's a UC Davis campus police spraying them (basically a security guard) not a real police officer.

He's still technically a police officer and got away with that particular incident without any serious repercussions. Imagine the crap he gets away with when there aren't hundreds of cameras filming his actions. This happens way too often nowadays, IMO. An increasingly militarized police are treating people - all people who aren't police- like the enemy and they are only too quick to up the force escalation continuum at the slightest provocation.

 

[scholseys]

The Chinese police appear to be useless, they should have learned from the American police in Fergusen and the occupy wall street officers. even toronto police have that a bigger fear factor than these chinese police.

 

[Huan]

Well the fact is:

1. Most of those pro-democracy activists see themselves as higher beings above the Chinese mainlanders ("locusts" as they are callled). Thus, they called themselves Hong Kongese or Hong Kongers instead of Chinese. They see themselves as different, civilized, well-mannered, and clean as compared to the mainlanders. Many of them want the visitng mainlander tourists and new mainlander settlers to "go back to China!" Even though Hong Kong belongs to mainland China overall.

2. They have a very westernized mindset. They tremendously worship the western laws and western core values overwhelmingly above Asia's own domestic laws. Many of their political ideals come from the United States and Europe (especially British laws). The Hong Kong schools that these activists enrolled in as they grew up could have also imposed those ideals.

Overall, they were raised in a westernized, globalized gated environment in Hong Kong with frequent close contact to Westerners.

Here are some pictures showing the friends of that 17 year old effeminate little boy. They're crying like little b*tches because the grownups in Hong Kong got fed up with their anti-China shenanigans and laid the smack down.

This is no longer China's century of humiliation. And your average Chinese person hates hanjian race traitors with a passion. That skinny little sellout better enjoy his 15 minutes of fame now. Chinese people know how much damage traitors have done to China in the past. When the cameras are off, he'll have a big target on his back.

Well it wasnt all that way bro. We were fighting not just the rag tag american militias led by general washington who was the commander in chief of the continental army but we were also fighting the french who had more allies than us throughout the war in american continent.this started when the British army from Canada was captured by the Americans, then the French entered the war as allies of the United States. The naval and military power of the two sides were about equal, and France had allies in the Netherlands and Spain, while Britain had no major allies in this large-scale war. The war later turned to the American South, where we captured an army at South Carolina, but failed we unfotunately failed to enlist enough volunteers from american loyalists(who were still un favor of our rule) to maintain/rule the city. In short there were several factors at play, aa we were fighting not just the militias of george washington but also france supported by its allies back then.
Its indeed a longg story lool
