[edit] Racial difference
I saw you've deleted the photo comparing features of Han and Bunun on the Taiwanese aborigine article. Not quite sure what "idealized 19th century view of racial differences" is but you've diminished the article. Please provide an alternative illustration of the differences between the two races or consider replacing the image. Thanks! jk 21:44, 24 Mar 2005 (UTC)
Jeremy, See my response here.

Hello, Kerim. You are quite right about the fact that most of the native the Taiwanese people carries the aborigine blood, either plan tribe or highlanders. I am very impressed by your knowledge on this topic. I actually also wondered what to do with the photo whcih you removed. Do you think if it is okay for me to place your reasoning in the talk page of Taiwanese aborigine just for archiving? Mababa 04:03, 26 Mar 2005 (UTC)
Mababa: Feel free to include the discussion in the talk page. I already added a link to the discussion myself - but not the actual text.

[edit] Excellent!
Very nicely put. I have a set of photos from a short visit in 1989 and was looking for some way to contribute. I do think there is a place for a photo comparison between "typical" Han and Taiwan aborigine people.
Your reasoning is very well presented here. I'm continually impressed with the quality of the work done at Wikipedia. I always thought it would be wonderful to live with the Bunun for a year. You're so lucky. Let's keep in touch.
I see this was your first contribution to the article. Please consider fleshing it out!
Jeremy: I don't believe that there is anything "typical" that isn't a stereotype. I would be very offended if someone had a picture of me and labeled it "a typical Jew"! Moreover, as I said in my comments, it is inaccurate. Most people could not pick out the Aborigines from the Taiwanese in the pictures from my fieldwork. I was actually living in an Amis village, but there was also a Bunun village nearby that I frequented. I plan to contribute more when I have time!

[edit] Of kind words and a question
Kerim, many sincere thanks for the kind words on "talk Taiwanese aborigines."
I have a question: I really really wonder about the list of "unrecognized" peoples. I would like to verify that these peoples still exist... and even better, whether they have petitioned for recognition. I'm going to start googling now, but if you happen to know anyone who would know this, I think it would be very useful info.
Thanks again Ling.Nut 17:35, 8 August 2006 (UTC)
