Chinese in Burma?
It was pretty interesting article you posted on the BurmaNet, thank you. I
am glad that your message addresses a serious issue in Burma.
I have some Chinese blood but was born in Burma. For some reason I feel
ashamed or embarrassed to have some Chinese blood in ME after reading that
Article. But why should I be???
I did NOT do anything wrong. It was NOT my choice that I was born into
this flesh & blood.
(Mind you I do NOT speak any Chinese at all.)
Since we are in the same subject of bashing Chinese, may I point out that
there is a large sentimental resentment among many Burmese toward Chinese
in Burma. An example would be that anti-Chinese cartoon featured on one of
the Burmese Activists (fr Aussie) website @ GeoCities. Believe YOU me it
was NOT funni or pretti!
It would certainly be most interesting to see a clash between the two &
ignite a revolution. Many Chinese live comfortably these days while many
more Burmese are working on minimum wages to feed their families. Does it
sound a little familiar in any other Asean family, huh?
Is Chinese gonna be the next "scapegoat" in Burma? Are we going for a
pure Burmanization these days? Are only the Burmans patriotic?
Hmmmmmm who will be next, I wonder...
