Why are people protesting the Olympic flame?
China took over Tibet and then moved a bunch of Chinese people into the country so that Tibet would eventually loose its cultural identity. The world pretty much ignored it when it happened, other than some complaining in the U.N. China actually has a Tibet exhibit near the Olympic park. It’s really pathetic and they advertise it as something like “extinct cultures of China”. I would like the Olympics to be outside the political arena, but China is very much using these Olympics for a political agenda and those working for the freedom of Tibet are using it in the same way. You should read some about it. The Chinese occupation (rape) of Tibet is definitely on the list of most messed up things that happened in the modern era.
