How will they get their Filipina maids in there or will they exploit Irish women...? And then Irish men will march into town with pitchforks and torches and wipe them out. The Chinese Exclusion Act in the US was started by the Irish in the US who charged Chinese were stealing their jobs. Ever since I was a kid, I would hear people complain about Chinatowns and Asian supermarkets. Why? Because Asians are supposed to make white people money. Having their own stores was making other Asians rich not white people so they saw it as unpatriotic. It also meant Asians were creating jobs for themselves and not taking away jobs from white people but noooooo, they still want to complain. It's called looking for an excuse to hate. Traditional Chinatowns were the ghettos where Chinese were only allowed to live and now they're angry because they exist. It's the Chinese that don't want to assimilate. They always find an excuse to hate.
Back in my activists days, people who claim to be of Irish heritage would tell me how Irish people were treated like dirt to counter me. And I said, "What are you telling me for? Go blame the British". Asians didn't do anything to the Irish yet in his own hierarchy of his mind he's saying that the Irish are more important victims so I should shut up. I don't know if people in Ireland are like the Irish in the US but when you see Connor McGregor... A bunch of snobby Hong Kongers in Ireland aren't going to last long. There's no China there to make money for the UK so they'll be taking their jobs. Maybe Hong Kongers are so arrogant they think they'll still have access to China after biting the hand that feeds them. The only Hong Kongers that would be in this city are haters of Chinese.
It's going to be one hell of culture shock, providing this guy gets his wish (as I said, it's purely sensationalism to demonized China).
Like in another forum when I was in during my absence, people there arguing that up to 300,000 Hong Kongers coming to the UK makes no difference to the racial unity of this country. These people likes in another world. I'm old enough to remember the last time a large (28,000 south Asians) influx of immigrants coming to the UK and the problems that had caused. The racists are litually frothing from their mouths. Even the recent Brexit debacles have them all out, and air their hatred as if it's normal in a civilised society. (Look at what happened in the USA now.)
Now in Ireland (EIRE), the Irish still haven't forgive the British about their potato faming. Their Easter uprising, etc. It just got underground. I've Irish friends at university. It won't take long for this grievances to pop up in conversation. My ex-sister in law is also Irish, and boy did I have to hear it. When I was living in London near Kilburn. They are pubs you simple don't dare to walk into.
So the point I'm making is, good luck in building the Hong Kong commune, and have your kumbaya.
