And yet they are "non-native" Taiwanese? Really? I find this very insulting. Don't mistake the real people for the stereotypes assigned to them by a stupid PR team. Taiwanese Hakka were just as poorly served by this campaign, because it ignores the complexity of that demographic.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29099853.post-59263018114359194642009-07-28T09:33:02.297+08:002009-07-28T09:33:02.297+08:00If not for the changes and "localisation"...If not for the changes and "localisation" campaign in the last two decades, those top echelon positions would still be reserved for the privileged wai sheng ren. <br /><br />If speaking in "Taiwanese Mandarin" is low class, how about this speaker(http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6nHXGPCMHtU)?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29099853.post-9333831729522129512009-07-25T08:44:36.450+08:002009-07-25T08:44:36.450+08:00I am a “lower class” southerner who “accidentally”...I am a “lower class” southerner who “accidentally” speak multiple languages and will post soon about the ECFA topic beyond the insult to the Taiwanese people.Άλισονhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05409063245062952864noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29099853.post-22064072057675515522009-07-24T08:43:01.317+08:002009-07-24T08:43:01.317+08:00I really wish Ma would reveal the text to the ECFA...I really wish Ma would reveal the text to the ECFA... no one really knows the text of it.Taiwanroxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17267274969336500952noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29099853.post-32069389068186361482009-07-24T02:08:47.364+08:002009-07-24T02:08:47.364+08:00I remember when I was growing up, some of my Taiwa...I remember when I was growing up, some of my Taiwanese (本省人)friends claimed they don't know how to speak Taiwanese as if speaking Taiwanese was inferior.

Indeed, Taiwanese must really suck at PR. <br /><br />3) (This one made me chuckle. The others just made me mad.) Fa Sao has spent a lot of time learning about the ECFA, so she is perfectly capable of explaining it to Yi Ge. But how does Fa Sao know what the ECFA will look like since the contents of the agreement have yet to be announced? Note that this also ties in with number 2 of this list. You spent all that f@#*ing money on PR to create two characters who STILL can't inform the public about the "benefits" of the ECFA. It is clear that they were only invented to be cheerleaders. <br /><br />I am really hoping for the day that the entire country will call that buffoon in the presidential office on crap like this. <br /><br />Last comment: I wonder what the DPP is planning to do if the government does not cave in to the demand of the DPP that the government withdraw the characters. The administration has no incentive to heed their call unless this provokes an outcry, and I don't really see what the DPP could do about it if they didn't.Tommyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13552370490869601403noreply@blogger.com
