Guys. I know definately Mr T is a white guy. Because he claimed to be from the UK. Yet he never experienced any racism in the UK.

You can't tell the race of people just because of what they say, many Asians in the West would tell you they've never faced racism despite you witness them getting shit on. The reality is that they suffer stockholm syndrome. Some kind of Uncle Tom behavior.

The British think they can make money from Hong Kongers that make their money from China. No China, no money. Why would the rich Hong Kongers want to leave their sugar daddy? No money from their sugar daddy means they'll have to make their money competing against other British. Who do you think British will naturally favor when they see foreigners that don't look like them making money they should be making? I wonder if the British are stupid enough to think taking all these Hong Kongers saves their China connection when Sino-British relations are in the toilet. The ones on the streets protesting in Hong Kong aren't the tycoons. They're the ones complaining about everything costing too much and they blame China. In other words, they ain't bringing money to Great Britain. The British are China's trash collectors and they want to take China's garbage away for free.

I think it is relevant give context to racism. There are certainly different levels of it. Also it is sometimes subjective as well, how well a particular person can handle something.

For most people, I don't think hardcore outright racism is common on a personal level. Usually people experience what is now commonly called "micro aggressions". Someone going "ching-chong, bing-bong, I'm speaking Chinese" or pulling back their eyelids. Certainly this is racist behaviour, but more stupid and childish than hurtful (if you are an adult anyway).

While I would not call it acceptable, it is not on the same level as not allowing Chinese to join a golf club, being intimidated them based on race ("I don't want Chinese in this neighbourhood"), Chinese exclusion act, or the current campaign in the US against Chinese academics.

I see the "offer of BNO UK residence" as a good thing. It is a good reason/trigger/excuse to finally and once for all kill the BNO passport non-sense. What is it really? BNO is NOT a national passport that proves citizenship which is the only legal status of a person on this planet. At best it is a pre-fabricated thick and better looking supersized visa stamp. Even serving the purpose of a visa it is redundant (in other words useless) because barriers of PRC HK passport are visa-free as before.

I was always against such thing as BNO which is just last cover of face by the former colonial power to preserve sort of lingering "great" image after shrunk back to the island.

Now, it is finally over. Anybody leaving with a BNO paper will be legally barred to enter HK.

I made no apologise for showing this clip on BNO. I never get tired of watching this. Let's remind us just how much this BNO is worth.

Let's not forget I have personal experience of this at a seaport in the UK during the heights of the Falklands war. I was almost put into the slammer for mentioning that the very fact that some of these "British subjects" are dying in the south Atlantic helping to defend the British interest. Yet the immigration officers are saying BNO holders are not British and therefore not entitled to right of abode. How ironic!

The immigration officer are none to pleased.

What Brits imagine they're getting:

But since the U.K. has already collected some very fine people from the U.S., I'm sure Brits are okay with collecting more very fine people from Hong Kong.
