Well make your mind up because one minute you are declaring what 'ethnic minorities' are fed up with and the next minute you say you're not representing your communty and people are not uniform in their thoughts. You can't have it both ways.

Personally I have enough respect for individuals to prefer your latter statement. How you felt that you could speak on behalf of all ethnic minorities is beyond me. Have Chinese/Japanese/Vietnamese/Polish/Jewish people elected you as their spokeperson? Indeed has any group elected you as their spokesperson?

Why do you resent other ethnic groups learning about your culture and heritage? Why would that be? Surely it is more fun for us all to learn from each other and enjoy the good in each other's culture. I would consider it more dangerous to be isolationist and believe that no-one should learn anything from anyone else.
