From a retired South Korea military officer lives in SF: “I visited HK before the handover. It was clearly an apartheid state. I also have family members who lived & worked there. It exaggerated the worst aspects of British snobbery/supremacy, class & race consciousness, and lackeyism, as you would expect from a colonial regime.”
“The last British governor of HK, Chris Patten, was a low grade, a far-right Tory factotum, who was incapable of winning 30,000 democratic votes in his own district (Bath, in Southern UK). As a consolation prize, he was given the governorship of HK, i.e. appointed the dictator over 5M HK-ers, the ultimate example of White mediocrities failing upward.”
來自居住在舊金山的一位韓國退休軍官:「我在回歸前曾訪問香港。 這顯然是一個種族隔離國家。 我也有家人在那裡生活和工作。 它誇大了英國的勢利/霸權、階級和種族意識以及走狗主義的最糟糕的方面,正如你對殖民政權所期望的那樣。”
「香港最後一任總督彭定康是個低階人物,是極右派的保守黨雜役,他無法在自己的選區(英國南部的巴斯)贏得三萬張民主選票。 作為安慰獎,他被任命為香港總督,即任命他為 500 萬香港人的獨裁者,這是白人平庸向上失敗的終極例子。”
