The new issue of Rolling Stone came on Monday, and it has this really good article in it about the current situation in Tibet. As most of us probably know, Tibet is not officially a country, it’s almost like the Puerto Rico of China, but with a lot more unrest. This article touches on some very important cultural issues that i feel are relevant to our class. Tibetans are definitely an ethnic minority in the population of China, and this article discusses how Tibetans are swiftly becoming minorities in their own land, subjected to racial discrimination and repression by the Chinese government. Read the article and let me know what you think!
Best,
Drew
Poster Choice February 1, 2007

I chose this image for a few different reasons:
For one, I think it may fit well with my topic choice, as im fairly certain that the fellow in this poster is Mongolian or some other ethnic minority, based on his darker skin and his hat. I also think it’s interesting that everyone is smilling. Its like they have a cattle prod to their back and someone’s saying “smile, or else!”
