Gosh, trapped me in the toils of my contradictions, haven't you?

Except that with respect to the USA I HAVE said that the social and cultural integration of different "racial groups" is good, particularly because race, as it's understood in this country, is mostly a fiction.

I haven't said that those who preach or preached separatism are bad, only that in this country they were not realistic, and the best they could hope for would be the false autonomy of the gated community, or the open-air prison of a Bantustan.

I don't claim to offer a universal social template with those views. They are as relative to the American situation as the movements and nationalisms to which I was responding.

With respect to the PRC what i said was that the wholesale destruction of non-Han cultures, larely for economic reasons, is bad. Destroying people's cultures so they can be made into subaltern participants in the culture of the imperial center is not integration -- properly speaking, it's imperialism.

Apparently you agree with the popular lie in the PRC that the Dalai Lama is a "splittist" who preaches separatism. Do you really believe that, or are you just another cynical parrot of your military owners; the evil old men who truly own and run China, incorporated? Logically, you have to be one or the other.
