"Genocide" in Tibet?

Raw footage: The Chinese Communists are effectively wiping out all traces of Tibetan culture by forcing ethnic Tibetans to sing in their native language on national television, forcing them to go to school, and forcing them to become literate in Tibetan.

"The Chinese government are following a deliberate policy of extinguishing all that is Tibetan, including their own language in their own country. It may be obvious, but Tibetan should be the official language of Tibet. The world must act. Time is running out for Tibet." --some clueless Tibet activist

This is raw footage of Purba Rgyal (Pubajia 蒲巴甲), winner of the Chinese version of American Idol in 2006. The public voted through their cell phones (SMS text messages).

As you can see, the Chinese Communists are effectively wiping out all traces of Tibetan culture by forcing ethnic Tibetans to sing in their native language on national television forcing them to go to school, and forcing them to become literate in Tibetan.

FREE WILLY!!!

Note: This is Purba Rgyal singing at a Tibetan New Year celebration somewhere in Lhasa. The second song is in Tibetan; not sure about the first. Does anyone speak Chinese?
