So-called anti imperialists get weirdly bitchy when you suggest self-determination for certain people groups.

Especially if it’s the Kurds, the Assyrians, Armenians, the Tibetans (that’s when the tankies show up), or the Circassians (or pretty much any other indigenous folks living under Russian rule like the Chuvash or the Buryats (among others)).

Talk about double standards.

Percent Tibetan in China

Do you ever read a take and are just at a complete loss for words?

Because this...

Describing the Dalai Lama, the leader of Tibet from before it was even annexed by the China and has lived most of his life in exile as "an 80 year old Chinese man" is just... wow!

There were other red flags like saying Tibet is a part of China and that China rules Tibet which are technically true. China does rule Tibet after forcefully invading and annexing the leaders. And while China officially agreed to allow Tibet to maintain its autonomy initially and choose some of its own leaders, they did this while moving in a ton of Han Chinese to the area so that they could ensure that modern day Tibet would be unable to be governed by actual Tibetans.

This is CCP propaganda.

For anyone uninformed on the state of affairs in Tibet, China colonized Tibet. China invaded and has been committing a cultural genocide against the Tibetan people and culture.

They've been arresting Tibetans for teaching the Tibetan language...

And have arrest children as young as 11 for complaining about their language not being taught...

In fact, it's a regular occurrence for writers and teachers in Tibet to be taken on flimsy grounds of "separatism."

They've also been seizing control of the religion itself.

When the Dalai Lama named the next reincarnation of the Panchen Lama, the 6-year-old boy was disappeared by Chinese officials so that they could implant their own puppet to the role.

In fact, the secular state of China has mandated the ability to choose the reincarnations of all Lamas, and that no Lama may be recognized without their approval.

And if any of this oprression is confusing to anyone, don't worry. Human's Rights Watch has made a handy little glossary of repression in Tibet.

So yes, it's technically correct that China does "rule" Tibet. They have complete control and have exercised that control to eradicate Tibetan culture, erase its language, and claim ownership of a religion it doesn't even believe in.

But please don't call the Dalai Lama a Chinese man.

Don't pretend to care about Tibetan culture while spouting CCP propaganda as they erase and destroy that culture.

Chuckling to myself imagining Jason coming off as a snarky New Jersey bad-boy in English, but sounding like some prim and proper little prince in Tibetan because he learned the language from Talia, and she only speaks with perfect formal Lhasa diction.

It’s to the point that when they first met, Essence and Ducra assumed that Jason was Talia’s rumored son. The first time Essence hears Jason use English and he calls someone a ‘brain donor’ she gets whiplash.

Culture =/= ethnicity, i like ur blog generally but I'm a bit shocked that u pulled up someones ethnicity to say they can't speak on something. You can say they can't due to being "Buddhist adjacent", though in that case you wouldn't have a say either, but their race? Really?

I didn't bring it up... they did when they described themselves as "E/SE Asian" as a claim to authority, saying that this was "personal" to them. Instantly, the vagueness made it obvious that their heritage wasn't actually from Tibet. I would never have mentioned it if they hadn't first.

There were other red flags as well that I didn't bring up before, such as the erasure of the specific type of Buddhism where the practice originated. It's strange to have a practice that is solely from this one branch of Buddhism and not have that mentioned anywhere.

In fact, the only time that the words "Tibet" or "Tibetan" was mentioned in their post was the one time they said that the fact that a "Tibetan Buddhist" said it was okay didn’t mean it wasn't appropriation. And it's really weird when the one and only time you reference the specific culture the tulpa originated from is to dismiss their opinions. Not even give a counter argument but just declaring them irrelevant with no explanation.

Their entire case was an appeal to authority. "I can speak for Tibetans because I'm E/SE Asian." And in this instance, that boils down to "I can speak for Tibetans because I'm Chinese."

I want to be clear again that I don't think people are responsible for the sins of their ancestors nor even other people in their culture or ethnicity. Every person is an individual. But this... it's the same type of rhetoric that the Chinese government uses, believing they have the right to speak for Tibet and the Tibetan Buddhist religion on the basis of being Chinese.

All while this is happening right now in Tibet...

And when the Dalai Lama encourages the spread of Tibetan Buddhism and Tibetan Buddhist practices through the West to preserve his culture, I would ask who benefits more from convincing Westerners that borrowing any aspect of Tibetan Buddhist practices is appropriation? Is it Tibet? Or is it China?

Which side are they, and other anti-endos and anti-tulpas, supporting with this type of rhetoric?

I would never use someone's heritage to invalidate their opinions. But if you're using your heritage to speak for and over a culture that your people engage in cultural genocide against, that's a problem.

I may not have authority on the subject either... but that's why I point to the involvement of Kazi Dawa Samdup in bringing the tulpa to the West. That's why I cite the Dalai Lama's words and philosophies on similar matters. These are important figures from Tibet who are integral to the Tibetan Buddhist religion, with the Dalai Lama obviously being the most influential religious leader and Samdup translating many works and being responsible for the spread of the religion around the globe. And so it's their stories and voices I choose to elevate.
