"香港浸會大學社會係首席講師梁漢柱分析認為，這次事件牽涉到港人對其他群體的負麵定型。其實這種事情並不少見，但當香港人對內地人有了負麵標簽，便容易牽動負麵情緒，觸發衝突。在標簽效應下，香港人有理無理都認定內地人就是不守規矩，縱然大家都知道實際上並非所有內地人都是這樣"
One thing I know from having lived in HK for many years in the 80s' is that there has been this negative mindset toward Mainland Chinese regardless who you are, unfortunely this mindset has not gone away with time. Here is my sitcom:
I stood in line of the Immigration Service to get my "green card" renewed, one morning in late 80s. This usually took at least half of a day so I brought my Chemistry textbook from my evening F7 class just so that I got myself occupied. All of sudden an officer of the department came over, grabbed the textbook from my hands and flipped back and forth. "How can you understand this?" He was surprised I was reading a book in English, and obviously this was a grade level higher than all of his education combined, "How can you Mainlander read in English?! Do you understand?"
Read at your own risk and don't blame me for changing your point of view.
