fyi the use coincided with western incursion of china; you know, when guests no longer behaved as guests and started to push drugs, raping and killing, and basically behaving badly per cultural imperative. The Han didn't mind invading and crushing their enemies.. the Manchus.. China's history is filled with examples where Chinese warlords were waging imperialistic conquests against one another. It's a good part of the reason for the regional dialects. he use of the word "gwei" did not coincide with chinese buying and selling western slaves, I wouldn't bring up comparisons and/or culpability with regard to slavery. China has it's OWN LONG HISTORY of selling women into sexual slavery and engaging in human trafficking. en.wikipedia.org gvnet.com news.bbc.co.uk opendemocracy.net As for pushing drugs, China has played more than it's part in the international drug trade, including smuggling heroin to the US. Apparently westerners don't have a monopoly on "behaving badly". But even in China, Hong Kong teachers are reporting that 50% of their classes have at least one student affiliated with Triad based activity. earthtimes.org And there are lot of folks in Africa who are upset with Chinese economic imperialism and denigrating attitudes towards Black people. dailymail.co.uk gwei is ghost, as in looks strange. So why don't Chinese refer to one another as "yellow ghosts"? Or Tibetans as "brown ghosts"? Oh.. that's right.. the Tibetans didn't invade China.. It was the other way around.. ;0) Hawk
