People like you need to stop saying that the bagpipes are a legacy of British colonialism.

Based on what reason? They’re still using them and no plan to remove them. You should check out Macau, their parades look like they’re lifted straight out of the Portuguese soldiers. There’s nothing wrong with old traditions. The problem is when people try to appropriate colonial themes to lend legitimacy to their violent riots.
People get the history of the bagpipes mixed up...has nothing to do with British Colonization.... It is suspected that the instrument was built ca. 2000 BC. originated in the region of India, Pakistan and Iran and then brought to the west by the expeditions of Alexander the Great. Bagpipes already existed in ancient Egypt and Turkey and spread throughout Europe in Roman times. In Belgium, Germany, Scotland, Ireland, Galicia and Asturias (Spain) and Serbia and Albania they have become part of the culture over the centuries. If you love the instrument then just play it no matter where you come from...just like playing the guitar or harp...It is a fine instrument to learn if you like the sound of the pipes.... nothing wrong with it.
Yes, Britain did give us Hong Kongers lots of improvements and advanvements, but we also need to remember the invasion and subjugation they committed against our country, like they did with many others. Bagpipes are part of Scottish culture, not a part of the culture of the oppressive English who were the ones who were at the top of the British Empire. Remember the Scottish had been subjugated by the English, just like how the English had used the British Empire to subjugate basically half the world and commit countless horrific atrocities.

Why on earth should we be thinking with our ethnicity? We are our own people and Hong Kong is its own culture separate from China. It is a hybrid of British and Chinese and engaging in the British does not mean they hate the Chinese or think it's inferior. Just like how I, as a Caribbean, should not be expected to feign affection for Africa solely because of race, Hong Kong people should not be expected to feign affection for China for the same reason. We should be trying to move on from such racialist and ethnicist attitudes, not trying to resurrect them.

Also carribbean hardly use any native african languages other than English so culture of african ethnic peoples living in US carribbean and any other land during age if slavery literally lost their culture. Where as for Hong kong - china situation were very diff. Dont always compare every situation with each other it might looks same but its absolutely not.
@@Debarghaya_Mukherjee In my defense, I have seen people in prominent positions in my own region say similar remarks that "black people should reject colonial culture and restore African identity" by going all in and whatever African originated aspects remained. So, of course I imagined the situation would be somewhat similar but I guess I was mistaken with regard to the degree. But overall, it is still a case of hybridized culture. The parts of the British culture that have been accepted into HK culture will be their culture. 99 years of cultural separation doesn't go away and you can't just forcibly purge something that was essentially their culture for nearly a century. It would be wise to just accept that HK will never be (fully) Chinese culturally and will be its own unit from the mainland.
@@jl63023 Sure you’re right but didn’t we see Hong Kong protesters beat up those citizens who supported China. That’s not democracy or tolerance for others who see things differently.

Colonial Hangover
That's a pretty simplistic creative way of describing this.
Bro it's just bagpipes, there's nothing wrong with appreciating something from a culture from your colonizers
bagpipes are practically imported from north africa and iberia
the Scottish bagpipes are more famous because of scotland is part of the united kingdom
Feeling of being enslaved....can't you shake that off.... it's not Hong Kong tradition to begin with....
But many HK people feel being enslaved by china.
@@MultiDivebomber That's the problem of their mindset....look at that guy wearing skirt and blowing the bagpipes... that's not the original culture or tradition of Hong Kong.... Those HK people that fight for freedom but they're the one who prison themselves for decades....
they are about to be enslaved by China
@@truthboom at least China won't put up board stating no Chinese people allowed to enter some of the parks....

Lol colonial period hangover. Seems like some asian still thinks they are white 🤣🤣
It's SO PATHETIC. It's like people in India. What did the Britts do to these people.. Sheesh . It was highly highly effective. They WORSHIP the Britts and caucasians

HELLO RELATIVE
I think It was the British Raj not the British Empire by the looks of 0:45
A lot of Indian troops from the time of the Raj were posted in Hong Kong.
keep on blowing for your master
Chinese scots are real?
facepalm
1st of July, 2032 : bagpipes are a symbol of sedition and its usage can lead up to 5 years sentence down the mainland
How sad is this🤣🤣🤣 This is what Caucasian propaganda does... These people actually think they are British. I would be so embarrassed
Nah I’m pretty sure they just really like the funny looking instrument and absorbed it into their culture
No, listen and read before you make a dumb comment, and watch the whole video first.

@@thekhoifish0146 They were brainwashed. Kids taken from their family's and put in boarding schools. They did the same thing here to Indians kids here. We are just now seeing the horrors those kids went through
Looks like this may offend the HK NSL law very soon 😂😂 ccp may want it banned soon
Fake news. Only violent rioters and their financiers get their toys banned. Rest of us proudly respect our old traditions while moving forward.
colonial legecies were so dangeours that makes you think your own ethnic/blood peoples were inferior than your master and make them play a divide & rule policy. this video was exactly that hongkongers simply cant get over their mental colonization. same things happens with INDIA as well
Why on earth should we be thinking with our ethnicity? We are our own people and Hong Kong is its own culture separate from China. It is a hybrid of British and Chinese and engaging in the British does not mean they hate the Chinese or think it's inferior. Just like how I, as a Caribbean, should not be expected to feign affection for Africa solely because of race, Hong Kong people should not be expected to feign affection for China for the same reason.
We should be trying to move on from such racialist and ethnicist attitudes, not trying to resurrect them. If anything, you're the one with the inferiority complex if you can't comprehend that people can genuinely like cultures that aren't completely ancestral
@@jl63023 you as a carribbean doesn't have feign for africa cuz you might doesn't even know from which piece of land your ancestors were forced to migrate to carribbean for slavery. Also africa was an entire continent with diverse and different cultures, whereas china a nation dont know how did you compared both anyways. Also carribbean hardly use any native african languages other than English so culture of african ethnic peoples living in US carribbean and any other land during age if slavery literally lost their culture. Where as for Hong kong - china situation were very diff. Dont always compare every situation with each other it might looks same but its absolutely not.
@@Debarghaya_Mukherjee In my defense, I have seen people in prominent positions in my own region say similar remarks that "black people should reject colonial culture and restore African identity" by going all in and whatever African originated aspects remained. So, of course I imagined the situation would be somewhat similar but I guess I was mistaken with regard to the degree. But overall, it is still a case of hybridized culture. The parts of the British culture that have been accepted into HK culture will be their culture. 99 years of cultural separation doesn't go away and you can't just forcibly purge something that was essentially their culture for nearly a century. It would be wise to just accept that HK will never be (fully) Chinese culturally and will be its own unit from the mainland.
@@jl63023 Sure you’re right but didn’t we see Hong Kong protesters beat up those citizens who supported China. That’s not democracy or tolerance for others who see things differently.

I trust England should leased a state for 100 years like Hong Kong where china can rule exclusively having PLA style of military parade. Then it would be fair for both countries.
They already have, there's a Xhina town in every city in the UK ( every major city that is)
