I gave you clear evidence of explicit racist comment against the
Chinese people showcased by prominent free-tibet organization. More
evidence from "free tibet (from Han Chinese)" supporter from this
thread:

1. "What is at issue is how the Chinese government is encouraging
businesspeople to move their in droves to drive out certain elements
of the Tibetan population..."

How does the above compare to "Free America (from non-white)"
movement's complain like the following?

"What is at issue is how the American government is encouraging negros
to move in droves to cause white flight in many white communities."

2. Why is Han Chinese in Tibet which is part of China unacceptible?

"Chinese and Tibetans are distinct from one another. They speak
different
langauges, their practice of Buddhism is different, and are of
different
cultures."

What would you say if a white supremist tell you the following on why
segregation is necessary?

"White and black in America are distinct from one another. They speak
different languages, their pracitice of [whatever] is different, and
are of different cultures."

And of course, "free-tibet (from Han Chinese)" supporters frequently
espouse the view that Tibet belongs to the ethnic Tibetans only,
forever and ever. Similarly, "Free-America (from non-white people)"
supporters frequently espouse the view that America is white's
promised land from God. So, only white should be allowed in America.
