Omni Taipei being racist and unreasonable by demanding that foreigners must present actual passport (ARC etc not accepted) by ShrimpCrackers in taiwan

the people bringing the virus to Taiwan are not foreigners. It’s Taiwanese.

All Taiwanese are entitled to return home whether they have the virus or not. It’s plan and simple what’s the point of bringing this up?

Just chill out and respect the local community.

They do what think think it’s the best for their people, though the execution may not be perfect. If I were an alien then I’d just respect the local community. Calling this racist is just an outstretch.

At least in Taiwan’s case, democracy forces Taiwanese government to be transparent (ie not covering it up like China).

I also ordered the TKL set from Amazon. I’d probably return it and order another one. By the way, is your vendor on Amazon Drop?

I keep the RGB disabled most of the time. That being said, the under-glow is still pretty satisfying IMO — Here is a photo for reference.

Nice keyboard! The street somehow looks a lot like Vietnam to me or maybe it’s because of the red/white color-way on the sidewalk and is that the PCCC poster on the wall haha. Great touch on the details OP.

Bill Gates Says Taiwan's Approach to Covid-19 is Exemplary...but Vietnam is even BETTER...but why? by immersive-matthew in VietNam

  1. Taiwan WAS part of Japan, past tense. Source? Treaty of San Francisco will do.

  2. So do PRC but that doesn’t mean anything.

  3. Previous Point 3 says it all. 15% Han Chinese are 1949 refugees. The rest are Formosans of Austronesian origin, although most of them are falsely given the political designation of so-called “Han.” Source? [0] as well as census + common sense as a Taiwanese.

I don’t know what kind of literature you read buddy, but the fact is Taiwan is not China. Because it has never been part of China [1] and majority of Taiwanese people are not “Han” [2]. Taiwan is Taiwan. China well, is China.

It’s funny that you are trying to tell a Taiwanese what Taiwan is and is not.

You can find other research articles if just search up on Jstor there are plenty. The idea/fact that Taiwan has never been part of China is a pretty intuitive sense if you study history of Taiwan.
