Why Tibetan's? Why not Bhutanese??

    I was not trying to dis anybody, all I wanted to say was how about the Bhutanese????? I know 10,000 are coming and they are coming to Baltimore. Nobody realizes they don't want to come to America, they want to go back to Bhutan. Indian's don't support it at all, it was them Dhoti's that put them in trucks and left them across the border in Nepal. I was there and I had seen it with my eyes, Refugees arriving by the truck full and their eyes full of tears.
    What did the Maoist do???? They shot their leader dead, they were left without a voice. Even Nepali's don't care about these people, it would be hard to argue about the Tibetan cause in nepal at this time. I really don't care about these issues but most Tibetan kids have a bad reputation in nepal, everybody(labeld) associates them with violence in school, or in your neighborhood or at parties etc.
    Anyway somewhere in a Indian magazine that is published in the USA I read some interview of Young Tibetan's and I feel the sadness in how they feel, one of em' said he is a american citizen but still feels like he is a refugee, another one said, His grandpa used to say he would take them to tibet and his dad said the same and he might pass away saying the same thing, he will take his kids to tibet.
    Exactly that is what I mean, we are taking these people(Bhutanese) far, very far away from where they originally from, atleast there are Tibetan's in India( I know the condition of their stay too with Indian clauses about that refugee card). Do you all realize, they are trying to displace over 150,000 people from their homeland without any hope of ever coming back. They will just be Bhutanese refugees with nepali origin living overseas(I have met a lot of Burmese Nepalese in DC metro like that)
    My only argument is, it is time the world realize there are other oppressed, repressed and forgotten group of People who really need help..
   And as Nepalese we have to do something about this, otherwise the time isn't far when we will be on the same boat, if this kind of situation keeps going on in Nepal.
