I REFER to the recent tit-for-tat correspondence regarding domestic helpers in Hongkong.
After reading P.K. Lee's outrageous letters, I feel that the real issue has been overlooked.
Human beings by nature tend to crowd together. This basic instinct has hardly changed since man first walked the Earth thousands of years ago.
Nowadays, ethnic groups, especially those who are in foreign lands, cling together for a variety of reasons, such as safety, familiarity of their own kind, etc.
In almost every country you can find a Chinatown, where the Chinese congregate, work and practise their cultural rituals.
The same applies to the Indians and Pakistanis in England and blacks in the US. They all have freedom to express their religious and cultural beliefs in the host country.
