Free Tibet...and China!

As most people know by now with the increased coverage of the protests going on at the Olympic Torch Relay sites, there is a whole lot of controversy surrounding these upcoming Olympics. There is the issue with Tibet, Darfur, and even their own people, but that's not what I'm writing about today. I'm writing to warn the people who are protesting against China.
Protesting is a good thing, but I worry about what image is being made of Chinese people. I worry that a whole generation will grow up with a hatred or dislike of Chinese people. This is what happened with World War I and II. My grandfather is a testament to this very thing. He has a hatred for not just Japanese, but Asians in general. He even admits that he knows the current Japanese and Asian-Americans had nothing to do with World War II, but he just can't let it go.
The Chinese government and the Chinese people in general may have done some wrong things. They may have some crazy beliefs, but let's get one thing straight. They are still PEOPLE. Let's protest, but let's do so to change beliefs, not show our hatred for a group of people.
