I was actually born a Hongkonger but abroad.
And I have always wondered what if I had been born in HK.
After having lived here I am quite happy and content how things unfolded.
But this again is a feeling coined by your place of birth and upbringing.....
times and circumstances
No. I don't see the draw. Its nothing special IMO. I think this is validated by immigration flows and desired immigration flows would be to the US and Canada etc. and not the other way around. OF course if your starting point is a place like Vietnam or Burma then I could see the draw to get out of the third world into a first world environment.
Through personal experiences, I've learnt that caucasians enjoy the highest degree of tolerance, acceptance and I dare say privileges on this planet making it a hell lot easier for this race in terms of movability and adaptability to a new place, be it HK or Kenya. I am completely fine with it but it would be nice just to turn up rather having to prove your existence on a regular basis. Anyways, reiterating this myriad times is getting tedious and I wouldnt want to dwell any further on this.
peeps, take it easy as there is no offense intended even in the remotest possible ways.
There are never any guarantees and everyone has to make their own way but there's no doubt that in most countries, your start the rat race with a step ahead if you're caucasian regardless of the minor affirmative action programs that are out there.
The discussion is closed. Bow to the FRENCH

I guess life is like a game of cards and we are just trying our best to play the cards we're dealt. Do you all sometimes wonder what would you have become, if you were born a Hong Konger? Would life be the same or very different?Original Post Deleted
