Free speech, bigotry, from a Chinese Australian perspective : Comments

By Chek Ling, published 30/4/2014

Twelve years later, in 1996, the apparent endorsement of Pauline Hanson’s tirade against Asian Australians by John Howard put paid to my rosy outlook that multiculturalism had blossomed on the terrain of our racist past.

Susan don't you agree that every culture has it'skeletons. Sensible cultures expunge those practises they grow to understand are discriminatory.
Why can't you do that and celebrate the fact we have changed and acknowledge our decency in doing that.
Not to do so is discrimatory toward those of us who refuse to carry the guilt of previous generations.
If we had not changed and still carry on the behaviours we all now find abhorrent it would be the thing to do to remind us.

But that isn't the case so what you are doing is accepting the guilt for your parents and grandparents sins and expecting us to do the same. That is silly.
I suppose you still believe in Original Sin?

I had no idea Sarawak was part of China! When did this occur?

FYI, it is ludicrous for a Chinese person to lable any other group of people as 'racist'. Chinese people are so imbued with their own superiority it simply never occurs to them that others view their assumptions about themselves as 'racist'. What a load of hocus pocus from you! Pauline Hanson was only pointing out the obvious in 1997, not engaging in any 'tirade'. If you don't like Australia, leave now!

How would Chinese people like it if their government were to start filling up their cities, towns and villages with foreigners? How would Chinese react if the Beijing governement told them that mass immigration would 'enrich them culturally'?

Got him right between the eyes with that one, Cody. Watch him squirm, prevaricate, and toss red herrings everywhere. He knows a s well as you and I do that the Chinese would riot en masse against their own government if their stupid government were to allow mass migration of "yang guizi's" onto the sacred soil of the Middle Kingdom.

The Chinese are so racist that they even hand back North Korean refugees to be tortured, raped and shot. The reason why "boat people" do not try to enter booming China is because they know what will happen to them if they tried it. To have the Chinese author of this article raving on in feigned outrage about Australia's response to the Tampa incident is so outrageous, that his piety and presumed noble intentions could only fool people like Susieonline.

To be lectured by the Chinese on racism is like being lectured by the Nazis on racism.

Asian people are extremely racist. The first thing the Vietnamese did when Saigon fell was to toss out every Chinese (about 15% of the population) out of Vietnam. Are the Vietnamese going to lecture us on racism too?

Japan has a grand total of 100 "refugees" in Japan and they are trying to figure out a way to get rid of them. Japan's most revered sumo wrestler, 'Rikidozan" had to hide the fact that he was a Korean. The popular racist Japanese name for white people in Japan is "gaijin" and nobody in Japan is going to be lectured about racism for saying that. Being more concerned about foreigners that your own people is a western pseudo intellectual fashion, not an Asian one. The Asians think that people like Susie are nuts for being unpatriotic and disloyal towards their own.

The idea of Asians lecturing Australians on racism should be resounded to with outright hilarity, or by the shaking of our collective heads in pitying wonder at their hypocrisy.

Imajulianutter, I never said I accept any guilt for my parents and grandparents behaviour. I accept how they behaved at times was wrong though.

We don't have to agree with everything ones ancestors did, do we?

Why are you bringing up original sin for?
I'm not religious at all.

You don't have to be holier than thou to behave civilly to our fellow man...no matter where they come from.
