It is universal liberal consensus that Tibet should be free and independent...which means that the Chinese need to leave, so the Tibetans --who are an ethnic group--can reconstitute themselves, their language, culture, religion. So why is it so terrible --racist and intolerant--when citizens of other states want to live with their own people in their own country...with their own language, culture and religion, etc....which means that unless given permission, foreigners and aliens need to leave?
If, rather than invading with an army and taking control of the government, tens of millions of Chinese had illegally immigrated into the country...would that change things? Would there be a hue and cry for the Dalai Lama to grant them citizenship, make Tibet a bi-lingual bi-cultural country, provide free education to them, and forbid native Tibetans from objecting to their presence?
