Very good. Generalization. :rolleyes:
And after all that thingies, why are you still in Indonesia? Not move to your old home sweet home? ;) There are tons of flights to CHN available everyday...

(No more politic talk 'ere. Sorry for starting it, after all :p)

So far so good for INA team today. :)Political and racial talk? I am talking about facts here and please do not try to cover or deny those ugly business that your people done by packaging your arguments under the word "political" and "racial". Have those things not happened in the past, I won't even have a chance to write a "political" and "racial" post here. If you can't stand people criticizing you, make sure your people don't do it, that's all.

By the way, who gives you the right to determine who should stay in Indonesia and who shouldn't? Are you a member of in the immigration office? Or are you a great figure in Indonesia who got a final say on who can be Indonesian and who cannot? Seriously, you complained other's post being racial and political, while your own post is full of discrimination against the Chinese descendant. Talking about a hypocrite here.

And FYI, if you search for a thread named "Malaysia Boleh Spirits", you'll find various facts there. Good and bad facts. And several 'political' and 'racial' talks too. And do you know how the thread ended, mister?
Getting hotter and hotter, and then? Locked by mods. And there were cases of banned member because of it, too.
I don't want my name to be included in list of banned members. And that's why I'll refrain from replying all posts about this matter from now on. ;)

Answers for all questions above: None/No, I'm not.
All I did was asking him/her: Why...? It's not like I told him/her to...? :confused:



Seriously, you complained other's post being racial and political, while your own post is full of discrimination against the Chinese descendant. Talking about a hypocrite here.
And seriously, your post mentioned that "I heard of the native blablabla...."
Your post sounds like you're trying to generalize the case. That all native INA people are some kind of monster.



*And FYI, some of my relatives were victims too.*

Why an Indonesian has to support Indonesia? Does this mean every Indonesian has to support Indonesia? Why can't some are supporting China? I am a Malaysian, but I never support Malaysia. I support China all the time. Sometimes, I support, Japan and Korea as well, but never be Malaysia. So, do I have to move to China in order to become a purely truely chinese fan? BC is a place for us to discuss and share everything about badminton news in every country but not for discussing why one is not supporting his/her own country. If you ask me why I will never support Malaysia, I will keep the answer P&C. I know there are tons of people in BC are anti-chinese. Actually, it is quite difficult to survive in BC as chinese fans in BC is limited. When anti-chinese fans are shooting their 'AK47', no way for chinese fans to hide. I have been in this forum for quite a long time, I learnt as a chinese supporter, I must know how to tolerate, and to endure myself. But I am glad that I've found some good friends like Ajaib, tommy_bun, and volcom who are not in the 'AK47' team. So, Ajaib, learnt from me, try to tolerate. Let us chinese fans not to haggle over every ounce.

yup, as long as we do not cross over others' border, it's okay. We have to know this forum is called Badminton Central Discussion Forum where supporters from everywhere can come here. This forum is not called 'China Supporters Badminton forum', Indonesia Supporters Badminton forum', or Japan Supporters Badminton forum'. :D

One of the reason "anti chinese" fans shoot2 is cos CHina fans also shoot2, often times with much bigger missiles. ;)
So, when 1 party shoot2, next time the other party also shoot2. The thing is when some of us shoot back, China fans get soooooooo angry (not you lah, other people, hehe). They shoot in the same way can, other people shoot little bit, cannot tolerate.

Ok, now I suppose all the shooting finish already, can go back to being friends. :D:p:p

But definetely it still hot in here :eek: :eek:
I knew some issues bout the aforementioned babblin,
Some of my relatives and friends were victims as well :(
But i guess this is not the right place to discuss those issues
For example:
Just like INA and MAS, we have lots of political problems
But TH*and LCW still befriended, rite? :p :p
Why can't we?
Everyone has their own right to express their opinions and support their own fave players
But please RESPECT other's as well
:rolleyes: :rolleyes:
Hmmm i guess all we really need is round 2 thread, ASAP! :D :D

btw, what do u call your great countrymen and women who moved out of INA because of what you said?? ex( tangfu, tony g & wife, mia audina, rexy, ardy wiranata & wife, plus many many ex good INA players that found homes in south california, vancouver, toronto, england, etc???)

Good point ;););)
i didn't have good english to said here,, but you said the right thing...
crime to ethnic chinese in indonesia is not just from 1997-1999 but it happened since long time ago here,,, we ( chinese ethnic) are just 2nd class citizen..the government push us to change our name to non chinese name,, then prevent us for learning chinese language,, they closed chinese school,, prevent us to show chinese culture,etc
except for those super Rich Chinese ethnic were their environment was full of educated native indonesia and maybe all around them are same super rich chinese ethnic, they felt small discrimination,,, but for common chinese ethnic,,, it's really hard...
i still remember when my young native indonesian friends laughing at me and say bad thing about my eyes, my skin, my food,etc...., that's a bad memmory for me..some of my friend even get slap, kick... and get abused becoz they were Chinese ethnic...we live with pressure,,,,
but i found that being a Chinese is not my Fault,,, everyone never ask GOD to be born as Chinese ethnics, caucasian, arabians, javanese,, malays,, africa,,, etcs... it's GOD choice,,, and we cannot blame HIM
so,,, when i see Chinese athlete domination the world .. i'm so proud and i can say : "you see, being a chinese ethnic is not a fault,,, Chinese persons and Chnese athlete are superb,, and i will always support them,, loose or win"
i'm proud to be a Chinese ethnic and i'll support them...:cool::cool:

sorry for my bad english :)

It's a very touching story and personal expeirence. You should be proud of you, you should be proud of being Chinese now. I am proud of you.

You really don't think there'll be some bewildered Canadians when you root for your beloved china team when playing against a Canadian team? :cool:

Sure, stands up for your own belief, but don't be angry/surprised if there're those who disagree with them and express disbelief.

1. u still dunno cooler after my gizillion posts. In the blue moon chance that our canadian team get to meet the chinese team, i supported the canadian team and they needed every ounce of it lol. For instance when the chinese jr team came over for exhibition, our #1 national MD team trounced those jr (15-16 years old kids?) chinese MD. It was quite a rewarding moment for me:p

2. it's hard to be not angry to those who disagree with them when 'those others' start burning down your houses,business,and churches , wanted u out so they can steal your business and buildings, plus other atrocities i better not say.

Seriously is there something wrong with supporting a team that is not your home country? It's a person's freedom just like Australians who support England, or whatever.

1) LOL, replaced cooler with an unamed chinese canadian supporter of china's team then. You get my point.

2) Again, that's a generalization amplified by the mayhem of 98 and by other element who seek someone to blame for their mishaps. "Others" from that group also help patrol your neighbourhood and churches so the looters can't get in. Come and help you to safety before the looters get there, etc. Of course "small" things like these got obscured by the extreme negativity.

Nationalism is always a hot subject and a problem faced by immigrants (especially 1st generations). The question will always be the same, if you call yourself a citizen of <name a country>, where should your loyalty lies? Some will feel strongly on one extreme or the other.

When I was watching the US Open (tennis) years ago, cheering for Michael Chang against Englishman Henman. The overwhelming American spectators in the stadium were cheering for the English instead of their own countryman Michael Chang. By the way, Chang was a lot more famous than Henman, and there were a lot people in the American claimed themselves as Chang’s fans.

Even the majority of a country don’t have to support its countryman, while accusing one individual who supports the hero he likes just outside his country?

On the other hand, Chang, as a Chinese descendant with American citizenship got all stadium support in Japan. Why? I guess the reason is simple. Japanese find out Chang sharing the same look and build as themselves. It’s the same reason Americans support Henman instead of Chang. Race or ethnic groups are more important than nationality.

If that theorem hold, how do you explain the massive popularity and support for Tiger Woods? He's the furthest thing from a "white" American (having African American Dad & Asian Mom).

Well if its for badminton, according to the "official guideline on how a fan should behave" book, he should be praise by the Chinese, maybe ridicules by the Indonesians and the Americans would simply ask "What's badminton?" :p

If that theorem hold, how do you explain the massive popularity and support for Tiger Woods? He's the furthest thing from a "white" American (having African American Dad & Asian Mom).

good question, but a question without deep thinking.

First of all, in the US, black population is much much higher than Chinese. There is even a black president. The base population are different. There are at least 20% fans for Tiger Woods by default, but less than 1% for Michael Chang.

second, very few, almost none think of Tiger Woods as a half Asian even though he insisted himself. The same applies to the president, no one claimed American got a half-white as their president.

3rd, Tiger Woods should be popular as the 1st black golf super star; this is the American tradition which proves something. Support Black people is something political correct for stereotype people, and even a fashion for young generations.

4th, there are more unexpected surprises. Look at Arthur Ashe, he's popular too, the most important popularity come from the shock that people first realize that even black people can play tennis or golf.

5th, most white people support Tiger Woods superficially. They don’t want to be seen as discriminative or political incorrect, But they are not diehard fans. Michael Chang seemed to have high popularity too, but when come to the real fight, you cannot depend on them. You can still sense a big anti-black sentiment against those black super stars. Look at Michael Jackson, look at Ashe, so many personal attacks and rumors on those popular stars.

Then what you have to say about Michelle Kwan? She's not the first asian to "rule" the ice (Kristi Yamaguchi done that) yet at the height of her popularity, she is, at the very least, as popular (and supported) as Lipinski (and later on, definitely much more than Hughes) and especially more than the Russian ladies (Butyrskaya and Slutskaya).

Heck, lets throw Yamaguchi in the equation too while we're at it. She's in constant competition with fellow "white" Americans (including Kerrigan and Harding) and "white" Europeans (Witt), yet she's well supported as well.

Also, remember all the hoopla around Michelle Wie? At one point, she's the most popular player in the LPGA (and probably 2nd in the golfing world behind Tiger), without even the record to back it up.

Actually Taipeh pair did not know how to play XD especially Cheng Shao Chieh....so it was not that Candra/Russkikh played well....

Anastasia will pair with Tan Gek Chain in coming tournaments while Flady had agreed to partner with Taiwanese Wen Shing for future tournaments...

Then how about Magic vs Bird in the 80s. Majority of Magic supporter are whites. Magic's not the 1st black superstar in the sport, everyone then already knows Black Men Can Jump, and I seriously doubt Magic's white fan are supporting him artificially (negating point 2,3,4,5).

There're tons of white Yao Ming's fans as well. Die hard fan that'll root for him regardless who's the opposition, be it Dirk, Kobe, Lebron, Gasol, Nash....

The same situation can also be said about soccer.

So what now? Team is also higher than race? :cool:

BURNT OUT PLAYERS

I note with dismay the slide of Uncle WCH and ZM in the last two tournaments they participated in which are as follows:

LNCM YJO

WCH lost in 1st round 1ST round

ZM lost in QF 1st round

ZM also lost in the 2nd round of the Macau Grand Prix.

WCH was unfortunate to be pitted against very strong players like CL & PSH but that cannot be said of ZM whose opponents are nothing to ‘shout’ about except for Lu Lan in the LNCM.
What does this indicate? It could be that these two players have over-participated in tournaments and are ‘burnt out’ and that they need to rest and recharge and more so as they are not in the low-20 age group. The tour injects added excitement with these two players participating and I trust that they will stay healthy for the next few years.
It is no fun to watch an all-China finals’ tournament as almost happened in the 2009 China Masters. The situation could be manipulated by way of cancellation or abandonment of games and the players who did not play or who played less than the full match will be fresher for the next tournament which could be staged in the following week.

hey, you got a logic problem. My original point was that race or ethnic group have more influence than nationality. I didn't say race was the only factor. I even mentioned that sexual attractiveness could be more important than race, of course there are more other factors. All your points against me were pretty groundless.

Only people whom I was against put the nationality as the only factor to accuse Ajaib and tommy_bun not supporting his countrymen.

If you want to disapprove what I said, you should give examples that nationality is the most important factor, or the only factor to decide whom to support. Yao Ming is not even an American, while Michael Chang is. What's your point?! :confused::confused::confused:

In basket ball, whites are the victim of race discrimination, black people like basketball much more than whites. If you analysis the fan base for Bird and Magic, you would find the big difference by race. It has the statistical significance, but not clear cut that all whites supported Bird while all blacks supported Magic. Race of course is a factor, but not the only factor, sometime, not even the biggest factor, but it's bigger than that of nationality.

Friend, you were saying that white Americans supports British-Henman against American-Chang, because of Henman's race (being white).
Care to explain why white American support Chinese-Yao against the likes of white American/Canadian/German/Russian/Spaniard player then? Now, the scenario is opposite of tennis and according to your argument, white American should support white players.....yet here they are supporting a player from different race alltogether against player of their own race.
See the point?

Change it to international competition and do you really think white American won't throw their support behind Black/Asian/Hispanics American Basketball/Baseball/Soccer/Track & Field<insert sports here> atheletes when they clash against an all white team from England/Ireland/Germany/Russia/<etc>?

That's what you're stating with your race over nationality statement, and there's plenty of precedence against it.

you are probably suffering from over imagination, I saw more white people dislike Yao. Of course, Yao is a selling point which none can replace. NBA is money driven, Yao is the tallest player with decent skills, and also huge China market behind him, ..., all these made him famous, and became a revenue generator for NBA and his employer. But this doesn't mean he's more favorite than even Kobe and LeBron as you suggested. Yao is always the one suffering from most bad calls from judges, which usually go with the percentage of the fans in market economy.

Even for international competition, I never said white will never support non-whites. Please read my post again. What I said was that race is more important than nationality. You have said a lot, but none of what you said has disapproved my point, not even close.

If race is more important than nationality, then why white Americans support their almost entirely black basketball team against for example, all-white team of germany? Or why would they support an American black or hispanic boxer against a white opponent from Russia or Germany?

this is quite easy to explain: you have to sum all the votes for blacks together, if your math is not that bad, you would know the answer

by the way, Shaq was definitely supported predominately by blacks, while white people rather chose a new guy. That's reason.

if you agree Yao's not as popular as Kobe or Lebron, then it's pointless for you to list several yao's diehard fans proving yao's popularity. If you agree Yao's not as popular as Kobe or Lebron, then that's the end of discussion, because blacks are majority in basketball.

Wait a sec, you supplement your race is more important than nationality argument by taking example of white Americans supporting a white non-american player rather than their chinese american counterpart. Yet, when I point out other occassions where white american root for non-white americans against their white non-american counterpart, you dismiss it and saying race is not the only factor. If that's the case, why brought up the Henman vs Chang argument to begin with?? According to your own word, there could very well be other factor that superseed the race factor. Americans also loved to root for underdog, for example.

My example compared Chang (Asian American) vs Henman (White Englishman). But your example of Yao doesn't make any sense. He's not even a US citizen.

LOL, but when your so-called own experienced was countered with other compelling fact (such as white american supporting their non-white american counterpart against white non-american), you're quick to dismiss it and said other factor is higher than race, which can easily be applied to your example to begin with.

My reading compherension is fine, sadly the same can't be said about your argument nor example.
Lets take it to the basic shall we?
Henman (white-non american) vs Chang (non white -american), you said white american support Henman since race >>>> nationality.

Marco Rudolph (white - non american) vs Oscar de La Hoya (non white - american). Based on your argument above, white american should support Rudolph, yet they're firmly behind the golden boy camp.

bad example from you again :D

Poor amateur Rudolph can hardly compare with de La Hoya who has a very successful professional career.

Second, probably more Americans look more like the fair skinned de La Hoya than Rudolph, especially among boxing fans.

People would like to pick the one who looks similar to themselves when other factors are compatible.

Anyway, i quickly skimmed over the last few posts and i also got lost. But from what i can digest while skimming them over, my opinions are:
- In international play, we (most U.S. folks) would tend to support our team(s) no matter whether the players on the team are mostly white or non-white or mixed. I certainly do. In a way, there's a sense of patriotism.
- In domestic/national competitions, of course we tend to cheer on our local or fave team(s). But same deal, I don't think we would look at the race of players on our fave team(s) to be the determining factor in supporting them.
- Certain national sports do have more white and non-white players. But I don't think it has anything to do much with race but more on the amt of players available in a particular sport.

It’s a very subtle sensitive issue; you can only feel it when you know it. You won’t feel it if you don’t know it at the first place. People even cannot control their subconscious.

Back to the Chang’s case, every American seems to claim as his fan. You can hardly see anyone against him in the States. This is almost the same as your feeling stated in your post and also what badadum think what Americans are. But if you knew thing a little bit deeper, you would find things are different.

I didn’t make up Chang’s story, read other forums, you will see many people sharing the same as me

“I remember some years ago when I watched Michael Chang play in the U.S. Open in New York. The white fans in the audience were cheering for the white European opponent against Chang. Clearly racism took precedent over nationalism.”

Even Chang didn’t speak Chinese or Japanese. English was his only language when he was a pro. US passport has been the only passport he has. But he never got home advantage in the US. His home advantage is in China, in Japan, in Taiwan. If you don’t believe that, just google, or ask Chang yourself.

Henman? He always had crowd support because they knew it's crucial so there's a match. It's a compliment to Chang. USO crowd usually supports the underdog. They want value for their money. They want every match to go to 5 sets because USO is the only GS that has a fifth set tiebreak and they felt shortchanged. Only problem is they can't control the weather.

the whole point here actually, back to where we started, is to comment on Ajaib and Tommy's cheering for Chinese players.

That's the reason the topic is beyond the private messaging.

I support Ajaib and Tommy, because as a sports fan, there is no obligation to support his countrymen. Even the most patriot Americans don't. The reason, Ajaib gave, is personal experience on ethnicity. He's right, because that’s even more predominant than nationality in American. I don’t blame it, instead, think they are quite reasonable. Of course, there are more other reasons, like personal flavor, sexual attractiveness, money involved (gambling), personal relationships, …. Therefore, it’s not the right thing to do for blaming the fans not supporting their own country. I support my own country less than 33%, and I’m proud of it.

Please give people more freedom to support and cheer for. That’s my 2 cents.

- I don't deny racism or race still exists, no matter how much we try to "hide" it. People of all races still have a tendency to "look down" on other minority groups or other races. Why? it's just the inert nature of human beings..

- As for the M. Chang's story, i don't doubt it being true. I don't really care, to be honest. So what if one writer feels that way? Should we all take his opinion heavily? Also, those white fans who cheered on Henman could simply be his fans (U.S. folks or not). IMO, it has nothing to do with them being against U.S. athletes or not.
IMO, why M. Chang didn't get the same notoriety as other Asian American athletes here in the U.S. are because he doesn't have the off court appeal like other sports figures; tennis is not really a high profile sport in the U.S. (at least not the top 4); he doesn't command the same presence on court as his other compatriots (U.S. sports fans tend to be tantalized easily by players who have flair & style, that extra "oomph"); and the lack of exposure of Asian athletes as there aren't many Asian/Asian-American competing in professional sports here in the U.S. Do you know Apollo Anton Ono (male speed skater who is half-Asian-Caucasian)? He was quite popular. So were the other athletes mentioned by badadum (yeah, yeah, i know some would say they were popular because had the eyecandy appeal for U.S. male fans blabla; but most important, their actions and results spoke louder).

- Individual sports tend to have less American supporters than team sports. U.S. sports mentality tends to be team first. Also, as pjswift mentioned, the U.S. folks will also tend to support underdogs.

...
I support Ajaib and Tommy, because as a sports fan, there is no obligation to support his countrymen. Even the most patriot Americans don't. The reason, Ajaib gave, is personal experience on ethnicity. He's right, because that’s even more predominant than nationality in American. I don’t blame it, instead, think they are quite reasonable. Of course, there are more other reasons, like personal flavor, sexual attractiveness, money involved (gambling), personal relationships, …. Therefore, it’s not the right thing to do for blaming the fans not supporting their own country. I support my own country less than 33%, and I’m proud of it.
...
- If you want to make a case defending Ajaib & tommy_bun, then you should've gone directly back to the related posts. But i think we've veered this enough, until your above post which finally indicates your whole point.

- I know you want to make your point across, but i think you are barking @ the wrong tree(s). As far as i can feel, most of the BCers don't mind people from one nationality cheering players from other countries; me included.
If you want to bark, please do so & make your point @ the members who were questioning/"blaming" Ajaib & tommy_bun or other INA who are cheering/die hard supporters for other countries' players..:cool:

I am the victim of your reckless barking. Did I blame you at the beginning? My first post on this thread was a comment after reading Ajaib’s touching personal story. Here’s my initial post:


It's a very touching story and personal experience. You should be proud of you, you should be proud of being Chinese now. I am proud of you.

When I was watching the US Open (tennis) years ago, cheering for Michael Chang against Englishman Henman. The overwhelming American spectators in the stadium were cheering for the English instead of their own countryman Michael Chang. By the way, Chang was a lot more famous than Henman, and there were a lot people in the American claimed themselves as Chang’s fans.

Even the majority of a country don’t have to support its countryman, while accusing one individual who supports the hero he likes just outside his country?

On the other hand, Chang, as a Chinese descendant with American citizenship got all stadium support in Japan. Why? I guess the reason is simple. Japanese find out Chang sharing the same look and build as themselves. It’s the same reason Americans support Henman instead of Chang. Race or ethnic groups are more important than nationality



Then some people blamed me what I said was untrue. Then you joined in without any invitation to suggest what I said were wrong.

Your accusation is so ridiculous. :eek:

In this case....if tibetans or uygurs people are being proud of themselves, not as chinese..is that okay? I do not think so in the eye od Chinese government..as they are chinese but do you think those tibetans/uygurs will feel being proud of chinese...I doubt it....
if you want Ajaib or Tommy Bun being proud of being chinese, not as chinese indonesian then you should let those tibetans/uygurs being themselves, if they are not proud of being chinese..

It is perfectly OK to support whoever you want..as long as you do not mock or offend other players..I do not believe that you need to support certain players based on race...if you are based on that like Ajaib's story,,it becomes hate....

You assumption about me is WRONG!

IMO, Tibetans should be proud of being Tibetans, So should Uygurs. Your own or their own or everyone's ethnicity is that one's identity. Everyone should be proud of being themselves. If they don't, then that's great too, which implies they have the ability to improve themselves.

In the other sense, if they are proud of being Chinese, that's good too. Chinese, as a term, could be a collective group including all the ethnicity in China.



I do not think so in the eye od Chinese government..as they are chinese but do you think those tibetans/uygurs will feel being proud of chinese...I doubt it....

You probably have very biased opinion towards Chinese government. Anyway, you are probably somewhat right about some Tibetans or Uygurs, but definitely not all of them, not even majority of them.

I have met Dalai Lama, and even shake hands with him. He's a great and nice guy, I'm proud of him too.



if you want Ajaib or Tommy Bun being proud of being chinese, not as chinese indonesian then you should let those tibetans/uygurs being themselves, if they are not proud of being chinese..

Almost every sentence you wrote were wrong! I have NO intention to request either Ajaib or Tommy Bun being proud of being Chinese. Where did you draw that weird conclusion. I said he should've, and I am proud of that, which means, I admire that he's proud of being a Chinese which he is an ethnic Chinese but deprived of right to possess their own identity. Now he's brave enough to be proud of himself, that's the think I am happy to see.

Same thing even applies to Dalai Lama, He should be proud to a Tibetan (although some rumors saying he's an ethnic Han people by birth). I am happy to see that. I hate to see people living in such a scaring condition even cannot being themselves.

I totally accept Tibetan or Uygurs as ethnic groups. I am proud of them too. But the problem about Indonesia is that the ethnic Chinese have been rejected as a ethnic group for decades.

If Ajaib were proud of being an Indonesian by heart, that's good too as long as he's NOT forced to do that. I am even more happy to wish him good luck in Indonesia.

It is nosense also...I do not assume you as I do not know you...we are debating about the race....you are just in denial...I am not biased about Chinese government..you just assume everybody is wrong as we do not agree with you...get your own life dude....
Talking about Dalai Lam..hm..hm...did chinese giovernment approve him? NO..NO..NO...if you say chinese gov is okay with that..then you will be in trouble...am I bias now toward chinese government? no..no..even chinese government condemns it publicly about Dalai Lama and Tibetans..Dude..

Look at the bold one....then you are very biased against Indonesia government also...if chinese indonesia felt being rejected...we will not have some chinese indonesian in the government's seat...
As you assume everybody is WRONG..then I assume you in this totally WRONG and NONSENSE....
You can accpet them but Tibetans and Uygurs do not want to be part of CHINA...we all know that...Indonesia governemnt does accept Chinese descent..you are just too bias toward INA government too...

The answer is NO.

Have I ever support any player here purely based on my race and ethnicity?

The answer is NO.

Please check all the records on this forum, I never promote nationalism or racism. But I don't miss any chance to fight with them.

You call this fireworks??? Ugly?? This is nothing compared to the more "heated" discussion of the past. :p

Let's be clear on a couple of things though. I completely agree that anyone should have the freedom to support whoever they might choose (hence my reply to suetyan's in post 277). My objection starts whenever those very same person start ridicules and insult other players. Once that happen, don't expect the other side won't retaliate.
As stated before, I'm glad to say that Ajaib (and tommy_bun, suetyan,etc) doesn't display that kind of behavior. At this point (I think) my position and 2cents's are pretty similar.

The point of contention between me and 2cents (at least from my point of view) lies on the statement that "Race or ethnic groups are more important than nationality" and the use of Henman vs Chang as an example...in which I have thrown several examples disputing it. Rather than having to regurgitate the whole thingamajing again, suffice to say I disagree with his position.

Well, every word has been saved on database, and displayed on this thread. I don't know anything more than anyone else who can read.

My intention at beginning was for supporting Ajaib. It's not uncommon that ethnicity comes before nationality when choose their favorite players. Based on Ajaib's personal experience, I think it's very reasonable and admirable for his support to the Chinese players.

And then some people began to attack my theory. I think it's good to make my theory even more mature. So I was pretty happy to exchange ideas and comments with them.

That's the whole story from my side. I didn't see any problem with this thread so far.

good to know you support Ajaib too. But...

the foundation to support Ajaib is to admit that Race or ethnic groups are more important than nationality" . Because other people accused him not support his own country.

so, then, what's your logic to support Ajaib?

Freedom of speech, with an extra badadum's flavor. I'll respect your position as long as you don't demean other. Once that happen, all gloves are off.

I disagree with your position since one can also easily support their fellow countryman against someone from their own race (as with the various examples I already stated).

Here's another argument to your statement. If race is truly >>> than nationality, then Indonesian Chinese or Malay-Chinese would support china's player whenever they play against TH, SDK, HH, etc..... Well, we've plenty of living samples of the exact opposites here in BC alone.

I just randomly took a glance at the posts. The strong correlation between person's location and his opinion only holds for the people from Malaysia and Indonesia.

I saw many people from Europe and American (their locations) also diehard Malaysian fans or Indonesian fans. why? I think the race and ethnicity play some roles here.

By the way, Malaysia top aces, both men and ladies, singles and doubles, are all ethnic Chinese. Therefore, when a Chinese decendant with Malaysia passport support Malaysia ethnic chinese players, we can not draw any conclusion simply.

Meanwhile, I think is better to lock this thread as those who were involved in the debate has lost their composure and every single disagreement towards their points(even though those disagreements have been nicely put across) has been taken as personal attacks and hence resorting to being extremely hostile (respond with another personal attack) when comes to defending their case.

First, I don't know who's whom on this forum. 2nd, there are also many best ever badminton talents from Indonesia are ethnic Chinese, such as Rudy Hartono, Liem Swie King, Susi Susanti, Mia Audina, Alan Budikusuma, Arbi..., even Permadi, Tony, Candra, Flandy,... are all ethnic Chinese. Because of its cruel conditions and denial of status for generations, Chinese there had to convert to survive. Most of them cannot speak Chinese, and their body physically are Chinese, but their minds, their culture are not any more. In fact, we really have no idea about those Indonesia players' ethnicity.

Any argument is only valid within its domain which includes conditions and limitations. Even Newtonian theory are wrong for both high speed and microscopic world

..race>nationality? nationality>race?..IMO, in the end, the majority of die hard INA badminton supporters in BC (whether they're INA-Chinese or non-INA-chinese) would support their players and could care less if the players are of Chinese ancestry or not. Of course, there will be a few INA BCers who will cheer exclusively for CHN or non-INA players, but i feel they're in the minority.

..i recall another INA member, Rahayu (here's the catch, i don't think she's INA-Chinese), who is a big time supporter of Wang Chen..and a lot of non-INA players..:cool:

..on the other side of the spectrum, i know there are quite a few INA-Chinese BCers who support non-INA-Chinese players..:cool:

..race>nationality? nationality>race?..IMO, in the end, the majority of die hard INA badminton supporters in BC (whether they're INA-Chinese or non-INA-chinese) would support their players and could care less if the players are of Chinese ancestry or not. Of course, there will be a few INA BCers who will cheer exclusively for CHN or non-INA players, but i feel they're in the minority.

..oh well, i guess this will continue on and who knows where this will end up..:confused:

I agree with ctjcad..

"ANYONE CAN SUPPORT ANYPLAYERS...and MOST OF BC'ers DONT CARE, AS LONG AS THEY DONT MOCK OR INSULT OTHERS"...

First, I don't know who's whom on this forum. 2nd, there are also many best ever badminton talents from Indonesia are ethnic Chinese, such as Rudy Hartono, Liem Swie King, Susi Susanti, Mia Audina, Alan Budikusuma, Arbi..., even Permadi, Tony, Candra, Flandy,... are all ethnic Chinese. Because of its cruel conditions and denial of status for generations, Chinese there had to convert to survive. Most of them cannot speak Chinese, and their body physically are Chinese, but their minds, their culture are not any more. In fact, we really have no idea about those Indonesia players' ethnicity.

Any argument is only valid within its domain which includes conditions and limitations. Even Newtonian theory are wrong for both high speed and microscopic world

Ok, chris is right, I do get confused with your argument.
Are you questioning whether the likes of Taufik, Sony, Nova Butet,etc are really chinese ? Yes, there're tons of top Indonesian Chinese shuttlers, but there're also plenty of top non chinese shuttler. Ricky/Rexy, Icuk, Joko, to name a few. They too (like Taufik,etc nowadays) were supported by the Indonesian Chinese.
Or are you saying the chinese indonesian that support the non-chinese indonesian players are chinese in name only, (since they can't speak chinese,etc)...and therefore can't be considered chinese? If that's the case, it might be true for some (hence the totok vs babah argument), by my experience has been many of the very same folks you accused of not being chinese = still speak mandarin, practice chinese belief and consider them chinese.

Lets look at the Malaysian. In general, the malaysian chinese are in much better shape compared to the indonesian chinese. They're the biggest minority group and wield considerable influence in both politics and economy and generally are more accepted than that of their indonesian chinese counterpart. Most of them still practices chinese culture and don't differ much from those of mainland chinese. Yet, take a look at Thomas Cup 1990 finals and see whom they're cheering.

LOL, I have to admit, but everyone with common sense knows, that my point is only valid on statisical meanning.

It proves nothing, if you cite your cousin as a living example. :eek:



AGREED 100%. That's why I think the race >><<<>>><<>< nationality thingy is foolish to begin with. People will cheers whoever they wish to cheers for....yellow, brown, black skinned be damned.

That's the fundamental difference between you and me, that's the fundamental difference between religion and science.

Religion is always right for religious people, because it's a doctrine without reasoning. You have your doctrine and cannot find the relationships between facts, cannot find the patterns between information. Everything for you is either predesigned or unknown forever, so you cannot see any thing, regardless race, nationality. Therefore, there is no wonder for you foolishly view any logical activity as foolish.

My view is scientific, and what I was trying to do is to dig out the relationship and pattern hidden in this process. My search result is the finding of this race nationality precedence. It’s absolutely okay for anyone challenge my results, but if you disagree from the religious standpoint, it helps nothing.

Fans, spectators support or cheer for someone other than the others. There must be some reasons. That’s the starting point of reasoning. If you are totally blinded here, and insisting the world is unknown, then please stop here, you cannot understand any further beyond this point.

The reasons, in my opinion should be any combination of three in the following order:

1: Self identification and redemption of self esteem
2: Economical advantages
3: Affection

There is no no-brainer support someone without any reason. Race and ethnicity, other than nationality, are the cheapest way for people recognize themselves through their idol. People tend to have delusions about their idol, tend to imagine the success of their own.

If you deny all what I said, there is no surprise at all, because they are sub-conscious, which you cannot control. You even don’t know where and how your adrenal gland drives you to.

I hate to be involved in this debate. But the highlighted words perfectly sum up my feeling.

Who cares about whether our INA players are Chinese or non-Chinese....as long as they carry our flag, most of us are supporting them. Which is why we feel that fans like Ajaib and tommy_bun are exceptions since they are willing to support players from other countries above their nations :cool: But hey, they are free to support whoever they like :rolleyes:

In the current INA team, we can see many players who are not of Chinese ancestry but have done very well for INA to win the World Championships and All-England:
1. Markis Kido
2. Nova Widianto
3. Liliyana Natsir (half Chinese blood I believe)
4. Rexy Mainaky
5. Ricky Subagja
6. Icuk Sugiarto
7. Joko Suprianto
and the list continues....

I will think that it's totally absurd for INA fans (not fans living in INA but supporting other nations) of Chinese-descent who will support only players of Chinese-descent :cool: Which is why the reactions towards 2cents comments are very strong :cool:

Ajaib
09-25-2009, 08:22 PM
ok.. here is my final words here

First i wanna say thanks to support from everyone here...
for : 2cents ( i agree with all your comment here:), just becoz i had bad english,,, so i cannot say much here)), lcleing, my teammates Suetyan, tommy_bun, volcom, and others that i can't say it one by one,,, i really appreciate with your care about my Right to had my personal choice,,, again,,,,, this is good for me as long as i don't insult another players or another country,,, and FOR SURE : Me, AJAIB never insult other players or country ....
i just support my team,, and if that HURTS someone here so badly,,,, well i just can say SORRY DORRY BORRY but that's my RIGHT.....so,,, technically it must be no problem here....
whatever people here try to push me for not support China,, i will say: NO
i will support CHINA and i'm proud of that...

i decided not to post on this thread for few days just to avoid harsh debate from me,, i'm worried if i cannot control my self,,, so i decided to keep silent...( and of course i must study english coz i had bad english),,,,
and i think that it should be end here....

Thanks a lot and PLEASE LEARN TO RESPECT ANOTHER MEMBERS CHOICE TO SUPPORT WHOEVER HE/SHE WANT.:):):)

It’s absolutely okay for anyone challenge my results, but if you disagree from the religious standpoint, it helps nothing.



But in this case, FACTS are indeed being presented to counter your argument. You either come up with other excuses or dismiss them together:
- When it was shown that white support Tiger, you said it's "fake"...
- When white comes in droves to support Kristi or the Michelles (both Kwan and Wie), you said girl's are different.....
- When it was pointed out that white American support the non-white De La Hoya against a white german opponent, you dismiss it by saying that's due to the boxing population....what the heck the difference between a white boxing fan and regular white then????
- When it was lay out to you that Indonesian Chinese supports the non chinese Indonesian like Taufik, Ricky/Rexy,etc against china's player, you said that's because indonesian chinese are only chinese in name only and already being converted to something else.....never mean the millions of Indonesian chinese who still practices the chinese tradition...probably even more than the younger generation in the mainland.
- And finally, when presented by the fact that Malaysian Chinese (who were not subjected to the same treatment and experience with their Indonesian counterpart) also support malaysian player vs china's player...you first comment that well, that's because the malaysian player were chinese as well. When fact was again shoved in your face about how the malaysian chinese also went to bat to support the non-chinese malaysian players against china's player (eg: Thomas Cup Final 1990)....you ignore the subject alltogether, and goes to this tangent about religion and science, etc,etc,etc...

And your counter to all of these? One match between Henman and Chang.... in which you claim Henman was supported by white Americans.... well, let me put the nail in your argument's coffin:
- 1989 French Open 4th round, Ivan Lendl (white non-american) vs Michael Chang, the very same Chang that you said white American didn't support.
- 1989 French Open Final...same situation.... Stefan Edberg (white non-american) vs Michael Chang.
If you're truly an ardent fan of Chang, you should already know who the American public support during both time.



If you deny all what I said, there is no surprise at all, because they are sub-conscious, which you cannot control. You even don’t know where and how your adrenal gland drives you to.I guess that makes perfect sense in your case. You can't control yourself and have to denies the fact because your so-called sub-consciousness and whatever chemicals in your glands, compelled you to do so. :rolleyes:

no other wr no1 lost to player outside top100...
and due to this fact i said he has the worst record to losing to lower ranks among others no.1

it's not becoz of race.....:cool::cool:

So...you levy your verdict on LCW because he lost to Chen Long...WR#147...nevermind that WR#147 has the skills and could easily be in the top 40 or 50, had he been sent to enough tourney to collect points.....

And by that verdict, LCW is a much worse WR#1 than Roslin, who hold the WR#1 ranking for exactly 2 weeks! ... just because Roslin didn't lose to anyone in which their World Ranking is in the 100th.....for that 2 BRIEF weeks.

Was it demeaning to LCW, as a person/individual? IMO, not really.

It's not for us to say who is right or wrong (with whom we support).

Let's not argue about this ...

Some BCers support underdogs. Some support their national players. Some support other experienced and/or other nations' 'in form' top players.

We all have our own ways of supporting. ;););)
