While I would certainly respect Ms. Ma's perspective, it's interesting  
to note that she makes a generalization (or at least the news source  
reduced it to a generalization) that purports to speak for all Chinese  
people.  I'm not sure there is such thing as a homogenous culture.   
While it may be true in the particular and it may be true more often  
than not, it completely ignores acculturation.....

I just find the whole issue of displaying remains fascinating, for  
what it reveals about my own biases, my own uncertainties, and my own  
rationalizations.

Thanks for posting Ms. Ma's response!
