Talk:Dao Lang (singer)

Untitled
Critics say that he is a typical example of a Han who stereotypes Uyghurs and other ethnic minorities that inhabit northwestern China. Some of his quotes appear to lend support to such an assertion. For example, he was once quoted as saying, "I traveled to the Gobi Desert to meet Uyghur people and study their music." In fact, the Uyghurs live primarily around Xinjiang's Taklamakan Desert, and few live in the Gobi Desert.

Sorry Guys - but that´s just bullshit - First of all: there are Uyghurs in the Gobi Desert. Second: The Word "Gobi" has not the same meaning in Chinese as in English. Is a chinese version of this interview also avalible? Third: Dao Lang has proven many times that he is a big fan of uyghur culture.

Your arguments do not prove anything.

So keep your political statements to yourself.

ps. sorry about my bad english - I am austrian and english ist not my first language. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.108.104.230 (talk • contribs) 03:04, 4 November 2007

Daolang is indeed criticized for his "borrowisms and cultural errors" even in Chinese media, as a glance on this may prove. Nilsnilson (talk) 18:26, 27 January 2009 (UTC)
