Buddy, you are way off base. We are not talking about individuals who may have accomplished singular great things. We are talking about acceptance of people of diverse ethnicities into one's society and made them citizens IN SPITE OF existing prejudices. The easiest thing to do is to simply not accept anyone at all. Not only was Gordon Chung Hoon honored for his bravery in combat, those of his ethnic background are equally honored in many ways, such as General Eric Shinseki or astronaut Ellison S. Onizuka. Now do not be petty and nit pick about Onizuka. The point is clear enough that we are far more racially tolerant a society than your China.
Further, it is known -- but kept quiet -- among world leaders, from one regime change to the next, that China have an active program of trying to recruit Chinese of all citizenships to be traitors to their countries of residences and citizenship and that recruitment is based upon emotional appeals to a racial bond.
