Hedenius posted:Whenever westerners pretend to give a poo poo about Chinese oppression of Uyghurs they should ask themselves why the oppression of Tibetans is not more important. 90's kids remember how Tibet was important and how Tibetans fled China to find freedom in India. As a Swede it struck me how little you read about Tibet in major Swedish papers anymore. You'll see endless stuff about Xinjiang but nothing about Tibet. wait so your complaint is that tibetians becoming indian citizens now is bad?

This has met with limited success.

My point is that Tibetans in China have seen huge improvements in their economic situation while Tibetans in India are impoverished and second class citizens deemed unfit for anything but anti-China propaganda.

they are impoverished because they generally live in a less economically developed country and if they live in dharamsala they basically have to do do lovely service jobs in a bloated tourist trap.

I have said this before, US's switch from supporting Tibetan minority to Uyghurs Muslims (as well as other Muslim minorities in Myanmar and other countries, maybe Pakistan too) was likely part of CIA's strategic pivot. Probably to divert attention to the awful things the West has been doing to the Muslims. It has nothing to do with the actual life quality improvement of the minorities.

Also Indians are racist to each other about as much as they are to tibetians. We just call them all chinese and then get real mad when the PRC claims Arunachal pradesh and like half of ladakh.

Tankbuster posted:they are impoverished because they generally live in a less economically developed country and if they live in dharamsala they basically have to do do lovely service jobs in a bloated tourist trap. Back in the 90's when Tibet was still poor and undeveloped western media was full of stories about Tibet. Films like Seven Years in Tibet and Kudun were playing in cinemas and the Dalai Lama was constantly doing world tours. Tibetan Freedom Concerts had the some of the biggest bands at the time playing for audiences of over a hundred thousand people. Today you don't hear anything about Tibet. Precisely because it's hard to ignore how Tibetans in Tibet have seen huge economic growth while Tibetans in exile have no choice but to "do lovely service jobs". The Dalai Lama in 2016 posted:“Politically we are not looking for independence. For economic and other reasons, we want to stay within China. But the Tibet issue is not just a political matter, it is the preservation of one of the world’s ancient cultures which is relevant to today’s world. So it is worthwhile to preserve it. The Chinese government has the responsibility to preserve rather than destroy it.” I'd bet everything I own that the vast majority of westerners still think that The Dalai Lama is fighting for Tibetan independence. My point is that it's a good idea to keep all this in mind whenever you read about Xinjiang.

if tibet comes up in conversation now a clever so-and-so will mention how tibet is a main water source for china, and it’s in their national interest to never let it go, but that it’s also india’s main water source … and might drag them both into a war

Tibetan Freedom Concerts had the some of the biggest bands at the time playing for audiences of over a hundred thousand people. Tibet was a fun retirement hobby for certain libs at the end of history. Once someone jumpstarted History(tm) by crashing planes with no survivors, tibet was quickly jettisoned for the initial Crusade against the Islamic world and post the 2012 pivot to Asia(tm) a Crusade FOR the islamic minorities both done by bombing poor farmers with overly expensive equipment. The focus has now returned to fighting the Ruskies but now with feral eastern europeans whose countries worship people that were political in the 1940s. The west keeps baying about weegers even though the PRC is making marked improvements in their material lives.

Or maybe it is I who is the Orientalist
