Re the "international city" argument: remember Toronto was flooded with HK immigrants in the 1990s? As of today, if you go to London, you will find a lot immigrants from east European countries, they have taken over the jobs in the hotels and services industries; in Paris, there are a lot people from African countries; and US has been flooded with Mexicans. Haven't you heard that in 10 years or so, the most popular first name in US would not be "John", but "Juan" (a Mexican/Spanish name)! It is the same everywhere, not only HK.
Chinese were discriminated by the other "white" countries, Australia had the "White Australian Policy" for nearly 100 years and called Chinese "Yellow Peril"; US had the "Chinese Exclusion Act" in the late 1880s. During those times, my friend, unfortunately you and I would have all been treated as "Yellow Peril" by foreign standard. We would be fooling ourselves by discriminating the mainland Chinese and think we are superior! New Yorkers may think they are superior/smarter and look down upon the "fat"/"stupid" Taxesens, but New Yorkers do not stop the southerners to move to NYC, and guess what, in the eyes of foreigners, they are all just Americans!
On the flip side, look at Taiwan, which closed its door to China. TW and HK used to be similar as "Asian Tigers/Dragons", but TW's overall social economic development has signficantly lagged HK in the past 10-15 years. Japan also thought they were superior to China and has a close-door policy on immigration/import, and Japan has suffered 'lost decade" for the past 25 years....
