Full Description
infuriated by the discriminating remarks by an well known local chinese writer, the filippina migrant domestic workers at hong kong stand up and voice out their discontent and call out for racial unity while proclaiming "we are workers, we are not slaves." filippina/filippino march on 5 apr 2009. throughout history, hong kong has always been a city built by migrants. it was and still is, through their laboring hard works that hong kong prospered. we (although we are the so-called “local” chinese) acknowledge the fact that we ourselves are descendants of or ourselves being migrants from mainland china. into the 21st century, we now see clearly that borders should not be set between nations or races. Rather, the border should be set between the globalized elites who exploits from above and we the people of all colors from below. therefore, it is not their struggle that we are joining, it has always been our struggle for peoples’ dignity and true justice. nonetheless, a struggle for the true democracy that embraces all.
