Description of the book Is Su Kyi a racist? Since Suu Kyi is working hard to become the president of Myanmar the world needs to know the answer. There are three main reasons why the question of Suu Kyi racism arises. These are (1) the Rohingya issue, (2) the Kachin War, and (3) the Bama Supremacy. These issues are examined and analyzed in light of common humanity, Universal Declaration of Human Rights, and Aung San Suu Kyi's politics in Myanmar. The scientific view of racism is also weighed in. The big question is: Why shall not we openly discuss these thorny and sensitive racial issues? By keeping these issues suppressed and prohibited, as taboos behind closed doors, we are simply brewing jungle fires, and we are seeing the jungle fires in the Rakhine State, Mandalay, Meiktila, and in all conflict zones around the borders of Myanmar. In the eyes the world, Suu Kyi is the only qualified Myanmar person to lead Myanmar into openness. When she is silent, conserved, reserved, or calculating at a time of dire need for openness and transparency a legitimate question arises. Is Suu Kyi a racist? Based on his own experience, the author digs Myanmar culture and politics in search of the answer.
