Why the negative connotation? - Kiddo

I know a guy who belongs to the third kind. He was not only born and raised in Kathmandu but also comes from a very affluent family in Kathmandu. Maybe his father or grandfather is originally from Madhesh. This guy now posts everyday on facebook that Madhesis are the most marginalized people in Nepal, each and every single demand the Madhesis are making is fair and this ongoing blockade is absolutely reasonable. I agree that the Madhesis deserve fair treatment. But to me it seems like the people belonging to "the third kind" are such active proponents of the Madhesis' demands just because they share the same ethnicity/race/caste. They are not supporting the Madhesi aandolan for the right reason and I wouldn't hesitate to denounce "the third kind" at all.
