Your clan comes from one of the 3 most privileged banners, out of 24. An aristocracy of sorts, among the bannermen.
But I appreciate your input. I will keep it in mind as I continue to explore Qing and other eras of China's history.
You are truly something else, if you think my post is a 'little self-projecting chauvinistic rant'.
Good luck with that report.
@t2contra
This is the sort of people we have to deal with. Self righteous know it all.

Yes it is privileged but only partially. Most of the people in the clan are just normal people and not the 1%. A lot of the success comes from having capital to keep the family strong with good education and opportunities. But there are a lot of the family, cadet branches that don't do so well and are just normal people. Even for plenty people in the are "aristocracy" merchants are not below them, making money is more important. My mom was saying even when she was young (1950s) she remember seeing people ketou to my great grandfather.

You claimed Manchu were BARRED from any occupation other than military, official, and farming.
Do you even understand the terms you use?
Who are you exactly to tell a Manchu person what the history of his people is? And you thought @Gatekeeper's post was chauvinistic? LMAO!
You've been nothing but belligerent and disrespectful since my first post yesterday.
There's this thing called a rational debate. Look it up.

And you've been disrespectful to our collective intelligence.
Look up the word rational. Hint: it doesn't mean holding on to one's position in the face of all contrary evidence.
It all becoming to sound all very familiar that only us Chinese living abroad will understand. And that is a foreigner lecturing us on how we see ourselves.
And when challenged because we don't see it the way they do, we are the belligerent one!
Sound familiar, Guys?
A self-righteous man telling others of their own ethnicity who they are is enough to be put on the ignore list. Had to deal with enough of these types elsewhere already but it seems there are those in here as well. Can't seem to get rid of them.
