Please help the Tibetans by not giving them false hope!

I believe most of the westerners supporting the Tibetan claims are out of good will. However, good will does not guarantee good results. If you want to really help the Tibetans, please do it in a right way. Please do not give them false hopes.

After all the sadness in the past, the Native Americans in the US, and the Aborigines in Australia, etc., are living a better life than what they would have been without the Whites. Some may say that they are still 2nd-class but really, their lives are probably better than the mid-class in the China or India.

What if you encourage them to claim independent, or try to drive the Whites out? Well, the results probably won’t be romantic. They may get killed, injured, jailed, homeless, starving …, though the white people will be hurt, too. So what is good for anybody?

Chinese has been trying to control Tibet for thousands of years even before Columbus found the New World. There were many wars between Han Chinese and Tibetans in the past and the conflict is still here today. Asking the Chinese to move out of Tibet is as silly as remove all Whites from the US. The Chinese have military and economical superiority over native Tibetans, just like what Whites have over native Indians. It is impossible to ask someone who has better hands to give up.

If you really know what compromise Chinese have made to Tibetans and compare those to what Whites gave the native Indians and Africans, you will be amazed how generous it is. The Tibetans do have “super-citizenship” in China. Why Tibetans still started a riot, because they are pursuing a mission impossible which is to remove all Chinese from Tibet.

If you really want to help them, please don’t give them a false hope of independence. Please do not encourage them to carry on a mission impossible. Please do not encourage them to suicide. Please do encourage them to get over the hatred. Please do help them to have a peaceful mind. For Tibetans in your country, please do help them get the citizenship of your country and let them settle in.
