As too frequently, your blanket assumption of nonexistent data, leads you to false conclusions. My friend from Indonesia was not some slave owner. He grew up on a poor farm where he had to take part in the labour at the same time as he went to school (in Indonesian. They lacked the money for a Chinese school.) He had nothing, that's zero. At age 14 he attracted the attention of a missionary organization which recognized his intelligence and academic ability. He won scholarships and they financed his further education and eventually his one way travel to Canada. He worked as a gardener to support himself through university and wound up as a Ph. D. microbiologist. Any money transferred between Canada and Indonesia was entirely towards Indonesia. He of course knows about rich Chinese in Indonesia but his family was none of those. I believe him. not you. I repeat, stop blaming the Chinese for anti-Chinese racism. Did the Armenians in the Ottoman empire own too many Turkish slaves? Don't manufacture facts to fit your thesis. Who "deserves" to be massacred?
