Isn't it interesting that Taiwan Island's thin veneer if Librul Democracy peels away when it comes to accepting racial minorities that aren't White or Japanese? If the DPP claims that "Taiwanese" is a different identity from Chinese, then why can't Indian people be part of that Taiwanese identity? The PRC recognizes 55 ethnic minorities in China and protects their rights, why are "Taiwanese" people reluctant to even accept living alongside Indian people?
Also, what level of Hell are we at where a government ministry unironically posts "stop the cap"? If you're going to claim to be a real government, maybe don't make public statements that a high schooler would make.
No fucking way the Taiwanese are still saying #milkteaalliance. Milk tea was invented by ethnic Mongols, who live in the Mainland and are completely absent from Taiwan. Like a bunch of racist white dudes forming a "#horchataalliance". Boba liberal government.
Most "Taiwanese culture" is just appropriated wholesale from China and then laundered slightly so that Westoid and Japanese consumers can feel good about consuming culture from "Free and Democratic Taiwan" instead of "Authoritarian Communist China".
I will die on the hill that "Taiwanese" Xiaolongbao are a shitty imitation of original Shanghai/Jiangsu Xiaolongbao.
