I say the Chinese are racist about Tibetans. Pfffffft And the Arabs are racist too. Pfffft again Time to make something else up, Nadine. "Nobody is saying boo about the Chinese racist attitude to the Tibetans (they regard them as savages) or the Arab's racist attitudes to the Jews" Boohooo My hyperbole is wrong, cries Nadine. Egregious ignorance or willful dissimilation on Nadine's part?

So that explains about China giving back Tibet and Turkey giving back Northern Cyprus? Many groups still are racist and don't have rule of law. Given how recent these issues are, it is hardly surprising that some lag behind. This "times have changed" stuff operates strictly as a one-way street. No. It applies to everyone. Some spots on the globe get more attention than others, for various reasons. For example, most spots in Africa get very little attention.
