Do you know why there are so many people identify themselves as Chinese?
Because they are Chinese of course. Silly question.
Quote:There are many intruders merged to Chinese in the history.
Wrong. Han China intruded upon the other ethic groups who did not at the time of their occupation and subsequent assimilation identify as Chinese Han or otherwise.
Quote: Because racism is never a problem in Chinese culture.
In a society which is almost homogeneous how could there be racism?
Quote:There is never segregation when Chinese ruled the country.
Then why do the more than 50 ethnic Non Han Chinese population live on the outskirts of the Han population?
Quote:I identify myself as an Australian. However, some guys here said, "You are not an Australian".
OMG... me too! I'm a citizen of this country. I was born in this country. But its overarching culture is not my culture.
Nonetheless, because this is a multicultural society, I am most privileged to enjoy my culture and share it with those interested in engaging with it.
In China, I would be persecuted for my way of life.

Is my experience of the difference different to your experience of the difference?
