HK as a small melting pot
There are 7 million people in Hong Kong though Hong Kong is just a very tiny spot on the map. Hong Kong is a small melting pot with various ethnicities, like Indonesian, Filipino, Pakistani and etc. Somehow, different races don't get along well.
A Chinese old saying is very true- " A man away from his native place is worthless".
It is wrong to stereotype people but that is what's happening in Hong Kong. Pakistani, Nepalese would easily be perceived as criminal.
I saw three little Pakistani thefts was caught red handed earlier today. "Tell your friends never ever come to my store and steal! " the staff member said to the boys strongly and fiercely. And this sentence keeps me thinking because this sentence implies that Pakistani kids often steal... are they?
The whole thing is like black in the US is often be prejudged as criminal. Some of them is criminal but NOT all.
I wish Hong Kong could be a better melting pot fulled of non-racial love.

Over 90% of Hong Kong is Chinese. I would not consider Hong Kong a melting pot due to its inherent lack of diversity. "Melting pot" is a term to better describe a nation containing immigrants from many different countries who have mostly adjusted the culture and values of the host country. If foreigners in Hong Kong cannot act and think like a Hong Kong citizen, then they are not socially participating in Hong Kong life.
