4. Anyone who thinks only white folks are racist...

Should hear the Koreans and Japanese trash-talking each other.

For a while back in the 1990's I was traveling quite a bit between Japan, South Korea and Taiwan. So I got an earful.

On Taiwan the friction was between the natives and the mainland Chinese who poured in with Chiang Kai-Shek after the Chinese revolution. Do a search on "228 Massacre" to learn why.

During one of my trips, the Taiwanese govt. put up a shiny new plaque, in a public park, honoring Chiang Kai-Shek. Local folks tore the plaque down and threw it into a fish pond.

Still, Taiwan is a beautiful place and I really enjoyed being there. I especially loved the National Museum.

As you enter the museum, there's a massive timeline painted on the walls. The timeline shows what was happening in the world in different eras (the following are just my smartass examples, not actual entries). It was a really neat way to check your Western cultural privilege:

China - printing press, paper, schools of ethics and philosophy, ceramic art
Europe - living in caves, worshipping trees
A bit later...
China - invention of gunpowder, dedicated civil service, advances in art & sculpture
Europe - living in mud dugouts, worshipping rocks
