ELL: Akha Version

[Matthew McDaniel]

You know an exception, a white missionary who is not a racist at heart?

Who doesn't preach a white Jesus on a linear time line of theology?

I have yet to meet one missionary in northern Thailand who is not of the
opinion that the Akha must abandon their culture.

I don't mind if it insults them, they need to be insulted, then jailed or
expelled from the country for practices they were not invited to perform, and I

have my facts documented with photographs, video and interview recordings, so
it is hardly inaccurate.

These matters can be found out in ELL archives.

Missionaries are engaged in cultural and linguistic genocide here in northern
Thailand.

Let the missionaries justify themselves and prove the qualifiers.
