A new report by Human Rights Watch argues that the compulsory use of Chinese as the primary language in schools in Tibet raises “serious concerns under international human rights law”.

    Even more insulting is comparing real genocide with having children take Mandarin classes.

    Show me videos of the Chinese treating the Tibetans the way Israelis treat Palestinians. Show me Chinese soldiers shooting missiles at Tibetan schools, hospitals, and places of worship. Show me the Chinese military killing Tibetans by the thousands and bragging about it.

    Why hasn’t the international criminal court put out an arrest warrant if an actual genocide is taking place? Cry me a river, you propagandistic liar!

      Suck my nut it’s genocide and I don’t care how much you say it isn’t.

      We aren’t arguing an opinion. It’s a fact.

      “Generally speaking, genocide does not necessarily mean the immediate destruction of a nation, except when accomplished by mass killings of all members of a nation. It is intended rather to signify a coordinated plan of different actions aiming at the destruction of essential foundations of the life of national groups, with the aim of annihilating the groups themselves. Genocide is directed against the national group as an entity, and the actions involved are directed against individuals, not in their individual capacity, but as members of the national group”

              You’re someone who literally doesn’t know what lingua franca is.

              This is what you little cucks cry about all the time America has done to indigenous folk. But when China does it, it’s a lingua franca.

              Fucking idiot

                Reducing the reservations and residential schools to speaking English is minimising the genocide commited against Native Americans: might I suggest that you’re projecting when you throw around phrases like “doesn’t know” and “fucking idiot”?

                  Might I suggest you learn some fuckin manners when being educated?

                  Kill the Indian, save the man. Is a form of genocide and is often cited as an example of quiet genocides that are meant to erase culture.

                  Within 70 years Tibet decided to abandon their cultural language?

                  That’s erasure you fucking idiot.

                    This is what I mean about projecting, your lack of manners have gotten you banned, while mine have been beyond reproach.

                    You’re just an overdramatic American Exceptionalist that doesn’t want to confront your personal complicity in multiple genocides, so you point at a small cultural shift elsewhere in the world and pretend it’s the same thing. You try to hide your racism in progressive language but you really suck at it and your claims fall apart under the slightest scrutiny, so you have to attack the person, but you don’t know what their failings are so you screech out the ones you know; your own.

                    As with the genocide of native Americans, you’re now minimising the Indian genocides - there was far, far more to it than simply speaking English, and it’s gross that you would draw an equivalence between the 100’s of millions of dead Indians and speaking Chinese.
