When will the Asians (and other ethnic groups) in the world stand up, together, and demand the same respect that Caucasians have enjoyed for centuries?

It's like beating a dead horse now, but I've wanted to ask for a long time. When someone intrudes a celebrity's privacy it does not matter who the victim is. Seeing the two press conferences, I really want to know exactly why Hong Kong's public seemed to demand an apology from Gillian, Edison. What are they apologizing for exactly? For being sexually active? For being well-known/ Because for some reason your child decided to choose an entertainer, of all people, to be a role model? How does that make any sense? I do not care about the celebrities as much as how much this scandal has shown about Hong Kong: the public somehow believes that entertainers are their slaves; everyone must report to them, the police have nothing better to do, and headline news is always regarding pop culture.

And that just saddens me.
