If you feel confident enough to believe this, then more power to you. For me, the power to accept someone as who they are is what is most important. Just because you are accepted into the local population doesn't mean you look down on others who are different merely because they haven't been there as long. Not exactly helping things.

I agree with you. I rather think that Silverboy was extending his contempt for the Chinese beyond the education system. Bloody outrageous attitude for an immigrant to claim territorial rights I think.

I have made a point of getting away into the countryside and talking to the locals- I found the ordinary Chinese to be the salt of the earth.
