why not? A lot of young people all over the world are frustrated.
Adding salt to the wound, you have to speak Chinese in order to
get ahead in Tibet - same as people in HK during the British rule,
you have to speak English to get ahead. Yet most of the Tibets
just like the Chinese in HK, do not speak anything other than
their native tongue.

People dislike other ethnics present in their neighborhood. Just like
the Korean stores were attacked during the LA riots more than 10
years ago. Moreover, the chinese owners do not speak tibetan.

How can you be sure? You have insider information? Proof it.

No, even the DL wants only meaningful self-rule.

Just out of curiocity. Do you think the Chinese ethnic in the USA
being oppressed by the White majority is more serious or less serious
than the Tibetans feeling the same in Tibet/China?
