That's it. That is exactly the kind of attitude that is frightening about you people. You do not display a slight trace of open-mindedness. In fact, you are proud of your bigotry. That's wrong with you people?
As a Han Chinese who have lived in US for the last 10 years, and as someone who have spent some of his most memorable childhood years in Tibetan region, and who have a cousin married a Tibetan man, I am saddened by the whole things. I am especially disappointed by the rampant ignorance, bigotry and hatred displayed by all sides towards one another on most of the media, forums, and blogs. I don't think people are making any positive contributions to the situation. For people whose daily lives are actually involved, you guys can feel all the moral righteousness you want, but it means nothing, and you are only making things worse. Many Tibetan people think US can solve all their problems, but that is just a completely false illusion. Please do not help perpetrate that illusion any more. Perhaps you guys do not even realize that it is just a illusion because you guys are the victim of your own media's propaganda? For example, I have repeatedly pointed out that YouTube is blocking your access to a video about Tibet, no one seems to care. As someone who is already calling this country home, I find it frightening that you guys just voluntarily filter out information that does not fit your preconception.
Americans seem to think they have access to all the information. Unfortunately, that is far from the truth. For example, YouTube is blocking your access to a BBC's documentary right now. See evidence here: http://yyhh.org/blog/2008/03/youtube-censors-bbcs-documentary-usa
University professors are regularly rated by students by the same kind of sites (ratemyprofessors.com). Using this argument, professors can say "But what if you are professors who unfairly got poor reviews because you give someone bad grade who deserved it...?".
Why is it okay or even considered good to let students rate professors, but it is considered ILLEGAL to rate police officers? Guess police officers have more power than poor university professors in this society?

YouTube block USA visitors from certain Videos too. Especially if it has something to do with Tibet. I've attempted to post this story here a few days ago (March 10), but it didn't go through. So I posted on digg at http://digg.com/political_opinion/Youtube_censors_BBC_s_documentary_in_US Or you can check the post on my blog http://yyhh.org/blog/2008/03/youtube-censors-bbcs-documentary-usa It appears that TouTube attempts to manipulate what information US people can see. This is disgusting.
