@RealBurgerGod@RealDianeYap My Jewish friend told me Jewish is not an ethnicity. It's a religion. There are African Jews just like there are Japanese Jews.
@RealBurgerGod@RealDianeYap Is that why some people, mostly high schoolers, prefer to identify themselves as Earthlings, using the definition of 'The various ethnicities colloquially called Earthlings are native to the regions now known as Earth'?
Bias Books (偏見書房) is the latest #HongKong independent bookstore forced to close due to government inspections. In recent months many bookstores have been cited by various gov’t agencies for supposed violations, a campaign of harassment & intimidation. https://t.co/ngPvq5E97l
@RealBurgerGod@RealDianeYap Speaking about ethnicities colloquially is why hundreds of ethnicities are lumped in 'Asian' group, just like dozens of European ethnic identities are just called 'White' - the result is diminished identities.
@RealBurgerGod@RealDianeYap Tibet was not a region known as China until it was annexed in 1950s.
After a region is annexed by China, does the native people become ethnic Chinese?
A hundred years from now, if China annexes an African country, does that make the people from that former country Chinese?
The family members of @Frances_Hui and @SimonChengUK are being called in for questioning by #HongKong police. Harassing family to intimidate and silence exiled political activists is unacceptable transnational repression and must be globally condemned. https://t.co/mdtfcRQQsn
@RealBurgerGod@RealDianeYap There is no spoken language called Chinese. Do you mean Putonghua, Mandarin, Cantonese, or something else?
Language is not a necessary element of an ethnicity. Some non ethnic Russians can speak Russian, while some ethnic Russians don't speak Russian.
BREAKING: Hong Kong police target mother of US-based activist @frances_hui who just met with Chairman @chairmang to discuss the CCP bounty on her head.
This is a brazen attempt to intimidate activists from afar and restrict freedom of speech in the US. https://t.co/LDsBe4KuXf
