  1. This is such a Western-centric perspective. One of the world's most successful multi-ethnic nation is located in Asia: Singapore. Myanmar could have thrived if it treated its minorities correctly.

  2. ​ @xedaslopes3975  No they absolutely are not related lmfao. Shan Buddhists are more similar to Thai people linguistically speaking. All of the northern groups like the Kachin, Karen and Nagas are all different, unique in their own identities or related to their ethnic cousins across the border in India (e.g. Burmese Nagas are related to Indian Nagas). The only group that can be described as similar to the Bamar Buddhist majority are the Bamar Muslims (whose only difference is their religion). There are two other groups that are more related to the Bamar as well, the Rakhine (who are Buddhists and speak a language related to Burmese) and the Kaman (who are Muslims but culturally closely related to the Rakhine and distantly to the Bamar). and what do you mean by "racial groups"? Physical appearance, genetics? That is such a flawed concept in many Asian societies, especially in places like Myanmar. Ethnicity is the demarcating factor here.

  3.  @timspiker  What part of "Asian" is not an ethnicity do you not understand? Asian is a term to describe people from Asian countries. It's not an ethnicity. Burmese is a nationality. Bamar is an ethnic group found in Myanmar, so is Chin, Kaman, Rakhine, Shan, Rohingya, Karen, Mon, Marma etc. etc. Those are ethnic groups, not Asian or Burmese.

  4. What have Burmese got to do with this? Are you aware that their country was colonised by the Japanese? Also, why generalise all Japanese and Burmese? This like brandishing all Anglo-Celtic Australians with the same brush for what they've done to the Aboriginal Australians.

  5.  @SenatePalpatinetroller  What Western influence?? Myanmar is the second North Korea of Asia, it had no contact with the outside world until 2011 and even since then, the most common foreign influences on Myanmar come from India, Thailand, China, Japan, Singapore and South Korea (in the form of K-dramas and Kpop). The West literally NO influence on Myanmar whatsoever, which is why the West has struggled to contain Myanmar. The West keeps asking India, China and Japan to step in and help Myanmar since the 2010s but they don't.

  6.  @comradekenobi6908  India is the biggest and most diverse country in Asia. They literally became a country because the Brits united them as one and many of the groups in northeast India are related to the minority groups in Myanmar fighting against the Burmese military.

  7.  @timspiker  You didn't answer my question. Do you think Asian is an ethnic group?
    2
  8.  @xedaslopes3975  They have their own languages, cultures and traditions. Idk why you're making this about language family. The Burmese military has been discriminating against minorities because they are ethnically and culturally different. Their aim is to Burmanise the country.

  9.  @timspiker  It's you that doesn't understand it. Asian is not an ethnic group lmfaooo. Since when are Arabs, Chinese, Indians, East Timorese and Asian Russians part of the same ethnic group?

  10.  @timspiker  Chin, Rohingya, Rakhine etc. are NOT subgroups of Bamar. Lmfaooo what??? Quit trolling 💀

  11.  @timspiker  Bamar is the largest ethnic group in Myanmar! What's not clicking? This is why people shouldn't speak about things they don't understand, especially when they think Asian is an ethnic group as if Chinese, Arabs, Russians, Indians, Tajiks and Indonesians have the same culture.

  12.  @timspiker  and yet you still said that Asians are an ethnic group. 💀 Not to mention that Chin, Bamar, Rohingyas etc. don't have the same genetics. This man... some people are so...

  13.  @timspiker  Indians, Chinese, Arabs, East Timorese, Russians etc. etc. don't have the same genetics. 💀

  14.  @timspiker  You did when you kept telling me "aSiAn iS aN eTHnIC gRoUp"

  15.  @timspiker  Asian is not an ethnic group. Burmese is not an ethnic group, it's a nationality. You want to talk about subbranches and lineages, then we must start talking about population genomics.

  16.  @xedaslopes3975  Common origin means nothing, idk why you'd even bring that up.

  17.  sixmillionisimpossible  I never said that. Don't misconstrue my words please. Separatism emerges when people don't feel like they belong, when they feel mistreated.

  18.  sixmillionisimpossible  What are you talking about? India is the most diverse country in Asia and it only became a country because the British colonised it. Had that not happened, there would be at least 25 countries in that region today. Bangladesh and Pakistan are Muslim-majority and couldn't fathom the idea of living with non-Muslims.

  19.  @guyfawkes8384  but it worked in Singapore, maybe if you treat everybody equally then things can work out.

  20.  @timspiker  Embarrassing comment to post

  21.  @juamu1132  China is a great example of an ethnically diverse country that is united.

  22.  @aylmer666  There are so many other ethnic groups in Indonesia without any problem like the Balinese Hindus, Christian Ambonese, Acehnese, Batak, West Timorese etc. etc.

  23.  @timspiker  Do you think Asian is an ethnic group? 💀

  24.  @xedaslopes3975  Wrong. Tibeto-Burman is a language family, not a race. Chin people are not the same as Bamar people for example. Mon are not the same as Bamar either. You must think they all look the same too. Maramagyi people literally look like Rohingyas with light skin and yet culturally they are basically the same as Rakhine Buddhist people. There are Bamar people that look more like mainland Indians like military general, Soe Naing Oo. Are you going to say all Europeans are the same?

  25.  @timspiker  No what's embarrassing is that you're telling me that Asian is an ethnic group and then proceed to say all Burmese people are the same.💀Oh okay, then you are the same as a Russian.

  26.  @timspiker  Asian is not an ethnic group and Burmese people are ethnically diverse. R E A D.

  27.  @xedaslopes3975  Wrong. Idk why you think it's okay to say most Burmese people are the same even when the Tatmadaw is discriminating almost every single minority group in the country. Well okay then, since you want to make this all about genetics then I can say you are the same as a Russian and Palestinian.

  29.  @YoniBaruch-y3m  Plenty of press at the start back in 2017 but completely forgotten after that. Are y'all even aware of what has happened since then? No.

  30.  @inquisitorsteele8397  I think that will continue. Chinese political and economic influence is much greater in Asia now so now there are a lot of Chinese immigrants in Thailand, Cambodia, Sri Lanka, Malaysia, Singapore, Philippines and Indonesia. Have the Chinese immigrants that moved into your neighbourhood integrated?

  31. @Darkest_templar That's the fault of the Tatmadaw, they have discriminated against minorities for so long that people are tired.

  32. It's not a full blown genocide, the word is being thrown around very loosely. It seems to be more like a cultural genocide. IT must be pointed out that the most popular actress in China right now is a Uyghur woman.

  33. I don't think anybody believes that except for Indians, especially those from Manipur.
