Um the Georg Blume quote obviously implies that he was inquiring about the reason for the riots James Miles was there to report on the riots so he would ask questions pertaining to the riots If they actually wanted to separate I can tell you right now that logically they would ve TOLD THEM they wanted to and would say something to the effect of FREE US WE WANT TO SEPARATE but they did not They just explained their issues which were socioeconomic and ethnic issues In addition James Miles states The rioting seemed primarily an eruption of ethnic hatred which I m guessing he had to interview many rioters residents to ask them about it And rather I don t think the Rodney King article is worded very well it should be changed but I m guessing many people are already well informed of the real reasons for those riots unlike this riot where few seem to understand including you And come on now you re obviously just picking at straws to try to twist the article All evidence so far points to the rioters looting and beating ethnic Han chinese out of hatred not because they want to separate or they would ve attacked much more government buildings rathern than focussing on the stores of more wealthy Chinese people Right now the article is pretty neutral as it already explains both sides and I hope people keep it this way 216 252 71 154
