Thanks for your comments, but you should know that these measures were welcomed by the local youth & no local HK person involved even tried to raise or mention this. Call it marketing, call it whatever, it's still discrimination & not right.
My point is that it exists it HK. I know, I grew up here & experienced it first hand many times. Why I call it racist, is because those who are racist, don't even realize it, & what's sad is that we aren't doing anything to educate our youth, so they are growing up with these attitudes as the norm.
Yes it is old. I only posted the original post ONE year after it happened to share with you all that this happened & the facts are in the Orignal post. I did not need you all to debate about this, I was simply sharing facts that occurred.
Yes, I don't like it, but I won't piss off. Hong Kong is my home & I will continue to fight for what I believe in.
Thank you all again. This is my last post here in this forum.
I see alot of whiners on here complaining about HK racism. But HK is VERY tolerant already.
