Chauvinism and racism in Taiwan?

The pan-blue camp has been accusing the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) of being "racist" for years. In a recent article written by the author of Free Taiwan, "an independent news blog," the same old points are used to attack the pro-independence party. With graphic arts that illustrate the author's point, the argument that the DPP is an inferior party that shouldn't be trusted seems convincing. However, with a closer look and analysis, the article contradicts itself in several aspects.

First, the very first claim of the article is that the DPP does not stand for democracy and freedom because of its "Hoklo chauvinism and racism." Very well, let's see what facts are used to back up this claim... Oh wait, none! The article continues its accusations without ever mentioning how the DPP is chauvinistic and/or racist again!

The rest of the article focuses on how the DPP left out Kinmen, Matsu, Penghu, and other minor islands on its party flag. Ironically, Kinmen and Matsu are part of the Fujian Province in both ROC and PRC jurisdictions. The Hoklo people, sometimes called the Hokkiens, are known for their connection to Fujian. Leaving out Kinmen and Matsu does not seem to be something Hoklo chauvinists would do. If anything, supporters of the Hoklo culture would want to glorify the importance of Fujian. So where is the evidence that the DPP is chauvinist and racist?

The article even claims that the Kinmen and Matsu will "be given to the communists for nothing but Hoklo racism." What? What's fascinating and stupefying is that this blog calls itself Free Taiwan, and not "Free Taiwan, Penghu, Kinmen, and Matsu."

The Kuomintang flag displays a symbol that represents the Sun. So let's just assume that the KMT will eventually give up Taiwan, Penghu, Kinmen, and Matsu and colonize the Sun instead.
