SOME Han Chinese do look down on Tibetans and other Chinese minorities.
(note, I said SOME, not all)
"I think that Tibetans are wild and violent, it’s dangerous to go there" – almost word for word quote from one of my Chinese students recently!
Just like any other country there are people who are racists and who look down on other people.
It comes down to generations of wars and stories from the past, which sadly, people still believe.
I have also met a lot of Chinese who would love to go, or have been and loved Tibet.
Even at my alma mater, there was a "Tulane Tibetan Club"… with no Tibetans!
I don’t understand the allure of Tibetan Buddhism and the Dalai Lama.
That place is so remote, most people probably couldn’t even find it on a map.
Plus, their lifestyles are so pastoral and nomadic… it’s nothing like us!
And unlike, say, the Palestinians, there’s basically NO Tibetan-American community to speak of!
So what’s the big allure with this guy and his Buddhist group?
Fad, or people are so entangled with technology that they seek a freedom from it all, and the inner peace the Buddhists often portray.
Three Nobel Peace Laureates join His Holiness the Dalai Lama on October 27th, 2009, for a public ceremony honoring His Holiness and the people of Tibet for the role they have played in the quest for world peace over the past 50 years. Participants include Mairead Corrigan Maquire of Northern Ireland (1976), Jody Williams of the USA (1997) and Shirin Ebadi of Iran (2003).
Tibet has been ruled by China for years and the Tibetan people want to be free of Chinese rule. China does not want to let go of Tibet as this could signal a break up of China as we know it because there are a number of regions within China who would like to rule themselves.
Someone told me asians immigrated to australia, so natives of australia are originally
Hi!

Australian Aborigines were originally natives of Southeast Asia. As the Austronesians migrated to Southeast Asia, they were forced to flee to Australia – where their culture eventually flourished.
Enough Dalai & lama. Look more at the majority of Tibetan

Actually Tibetan culture is flourishing now. So many singers, dancers, composers, and writers are growing up. Although there is contradiction between tradition and modernization, this is what every country has experienced.
