More than a hundred anti-Bian demonstrators, who applied for and received authorization to conduct a peaceful sit-in, face nearly a thousand pro-Bian demonstrators who came by themselves with pictures of Shih Ming Te, which they ripped apart.
There were about 200 policemen standing guard with barricades.
Pro-Bian demonstrators yelled campaign slogans and threw rocks and bottles. A Hong Kong reporter was hit in the face and was among those injured.

The woman driving the red car wanted to run away, except her car’s whole windshield got smashed to smithereens. The crowd yelled at the woman:
You dare to voice against us Taiwanese, smelly cunt?
The Era (TV station) female reporter was shaking while reporting this. I’ve only got one thing to say: Hell yeah![/quote]

感謝您們! 勇敢的臺灣人不可被支那豬, 中國狗看衰小!
再一次感謝您們!
My respected Tainan townfolks: Thank you! The brave Taiwanese cannot be looked down upon by Chink pigs and Chinese dogs! Thank you once more.

Such a violent bunch these people in the South. Taipei can host the anti-ASL and the depose-CSB with no incident.
What’s wrong with people south of Taizhong? Don’t they understand anything about getting permits to protest? Where are their civic duty to respect other people right to freedom of speech?
It is actions like this that perpetuate the BSR stereotype as being a bunch of backwater hicks prone to violence.
The vitrol aside, I do want to point out that there are others on that forum calling on members to refrain from using violence.
Of course, the phrasing is usually… “don’t be tricked by the Chinese pigs into using violence. Just throw shit at’em instead.”
From the GATI site:
Which specific word is used for “chinks” in that sentence? Is is 妓 in this context? I thought that meant “prostitute”.
Never mind, I figured it out, the term is 支那, which I see in Zeugmite’s post but not in cctang’s post.
You’re right, please substitute ‘whores’ in the translation. I read too quickly, and I always get thrown off by the new ‘symbols’ being used (the squiggles in that line) when writing Taiyu.
“Maybe… after one of those whores die, they’ll finally learn some scruples, rather than always growling at us.”

Huang Wan hong2 already said on TV, “We must not allow the WSR dogs into OUR South to despose-Bian”[/quote]
WTF, on TV someone referred to WSR as dogs. If this guy was white he’d do the KKK proud, all he needs is a white pillow case over his head and a confederate flag. Maybe a burning cross in the background to let people know he means business.
Honestly, Taiwan really needs laws to curb these type of language on TV. They are not constructive at all.
Wow, that is definitely an eye opener…thanks Z.
I always thought my Mainlander friends were shitting me when they told me about this kind of name calling (pig, whore, dog . . . chink?!!) from “pure” Taiwanese were pretty rampant.
I guess I was wrong.
You should have just asked your WSR friend. They could have told you the same thing.
I guess they can call each other what they like. If one of us “outside country people” living in Taiwan run around using the “C” word then that would be objectionable imo.
From an Australian perspective the “C” word is just as bad or worse than the “N” word. I guess it depends on cultural perspective.
Reading Chinese language forums just reminds me of my youth growing up in Taiwan. People just hate you once they found out you were of WSR decent. In the USA faced the same kind of racism and hatred just for looking different.
Now that I think more about it the depose-CSB crowd really does respect democracy, they file their paper work get proper permits to demonstrate. They do it peacefully without causing bodily injury to their opposition.
However, these pro-CSB people in the South…if the situation was reverse these pro-CSB crowd would have used violence to depose of a President they did not approve of.
If it is people like that who participated in 228, using racism and advocating violence, why wouldn’t the government shoot them to surpress violence and try to bring stability back to the island?
The whole chink thing IS a slur, Blurt, because the ones using it do NOT consider themselves Chinese! You have to remember that! There is no contemporary equivalent of the African-American colloquial usage here. In fact, the word in Chinese is a slur often associated with abusive use by the Japanese, so you can see the effect they are going for here.
The mentality here, although couched in independence or whatnot, is really quite petty and – for the lack of a better word – provincial. In the old days, the Taiwan Hoklo and Hakka fought each other in turf wars. You can see it in the comments about the south being “our” turf and anybody who identifies as “Chinese” had better watch their steps and about driving the “Chinese” out of Taiwan so Taiwan could have “peace.” That’s the crux of TI right there. Now the overseas lobbyists are intelligent enough to package the whole TI thing in lofty ideals of nationhood and self-determination, and the intellectuals among them may actually believe in it but, on the streets, there are no lofty ideals.
