re: #359 wheat-dogg

Hardly at all. The Han congregate in the newly built neighborhoods, and the Uighurs in the old neighborhoods. There’s a lot of mistrust between the two groups, to say the least.

It’s probably been mentioned here before, but the Han Chinese consider themselves superior to everyone else in every way, and they try to gaslight the population to make sure that myth remains unchallenged. The “5,000-year history” so often referred to glosses over the invasions and dynasties begun by the Mongols and the Manchu, who had as much to do with Chinese history as the Han. Chinese scientists push the theory that there was parallel evolution in China, so that Chinese can imagine they are not descended from prehistoric African migrants. (Genetically, they are, but fossil records can be creatively analyzed to argue otherwise.)

At the same time, the Chinese people envy Western culture and young women elect to have cosmetic surgery to get “double eyelids,” IOW “Western” eyelids.

The mental gymnastics people will do to ignore our common origin. Afrika!
