OK, I have Chinese friends. I am an eggman: yellow (Asian) inside, white (Irish/French) outside. Spend time in the Middle Kingdom and you are gone to another world, the oldest continuous culture on earth. My suggestion is to compare what China does to the Muslim minority with what America does to Catholic Latinos. I just do not find much difference.

As a 70-year-old combat vet, I certainly wish I could be proud of the country I was born in. More and more I am embarrassed by America’s behavior towards the rest of humanity.
