Nothing is perfect. Anything beyond the blackman/coolieman paradigm is better for us.
Ireland is not in flames and the people no longer hide in their houses and bombs are not going off in the street left and right. Brexit is a different beast.
Taiwan had to deal with the new comers who were mainly army folks fighting on the mainlanders and the local chinese. They were the same ethnicity but the alienation was outsiders vs insiders.
The rest of your post has nothing to do with what we are talking about but the pathology arising from it.
Well we are stuck with the blackman/coolie just as South Africa is stuck with its kaffirs/boers until these groups begin to feel more secure.
That which holds up Brexit is significantly the issue with Northern Ireland. The fear is if not handled properly the flames will glow again. If the existing constitutional arrangements were sufficient to prevent ethno- religious conflict the UK would be leaving the EU not caring about the problems that this would present to ease of travel between Ireland and Northern Ireland. But there are still underlying identities and potential for conflict.
The issue with Taiwan is different from Guyana. 95% are Han Chinese. The fact that some arrived before others is no more relevant than a squabble between people from Linden and GT. It doesnt rise to ethnic angst. The native Taiwanese are a dominated, and I bet, an impoverished minority group.
So I have yet to see an arrangement where underlying ethnic angst by two groups almost comparable in clout, can be ignored.
