I'm no Tibetologist but goddamn you're gonna have trouble finding a person who knows more about pre-annexation Tibet than me.
I got into it with a disaporic Tibetan recently online who didn't know shit about their ancestral country's history and they were playing the ethnicity card (because apparently you can only know about a particular if your parents were born in that country?) We had a back-and-forth, they dodged all the uncomfortable questions... you know how all of that plays out. But anyway, eventually I lost my patience and dished out a long insult that was extremely specific to Tibetan history & culture and to this person's particular brand of nonsense - I knew they wouldn't understand it and that it just looked like a string of weird references but if you happened to know your shit about Tibet then it would have come off as an absolute roasting.
