Why do they talk about a genocide?

It was very frustrating to listen and see the lies some of the people are spreading around the world about a Tamil genocide. There is no problem to any Tamil in Sri Lanka.

(if I have money) I can personally bring anyone (of course non-terrorist) to Sri Lanka. Thre is no problem. Politically Tamils have more power than Sinhalese sometimes.

So it is worthwhile to look at why these people are lying like this. If we look at the background of this people it is not that hard to find the reason. All the people who talk about a genocide and protest in washington, DC, Canada or UK are now not living in SL. Non of the Tamils now in Sri Lanka are talks about this genocide, coz they know its not happening.

Then why are these people outside of SL talking about this? Its easy. Take a look at the conditions to be satisfied to get in to refugee status.

The United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) defines a "refugee" as "a person who has fled his/her country of nationality (or habitual residence) and who is unable or unwilling to return to that country because of a "well-founded" fear of persecution based on race, religion, nationality, political opinion or membership in a particular social group."
But it excludes "those who have left their homes only to seek a more prosperous life."

Clearly this is the reason. They came out of Sri Lanka, obviously to seek for a more prosperous life. Most of the South Asians will try to go out of their country to Europe or N. America for this reason. But its hard to get in to these countries, if you don't have proper qualifications. The easiest way is becoming a refugee or political asylum.

Complaining about genocide is the easiest way to claim "fear of persecution based on race, nationality". Here we go. When LTTE was there, they were telling this because anyway LTTE was killing tamils and making the lives of those people miserable. Now when that is gone, they need a different reason to stay in their countries. So the new "mantra" is Tamil genocide in SL by SL government.

Very small percentage these people can easily use "fear of persecution based on membership in a particular social group", because this small percentage is LTTE henchmen. But unfortunately for them most of the countries banned LTTE as a terrorist organization. So they can't use it. Their savior is "Genocide Mantra".

Come on, even now how are you paying monthky as bribes to all LTTE henchmen within the country you are living. How many have rejected and what happened to them? 

Why are these[1, 2] henchmen, trying to prove LTTE leader is alive? Look at what all the tamils have contributed so far and how much do you think they have in the bank? Do you think those henchmen like to give up their free and luxurious life, that they enjoy using your money? Forget it. 

Please don't blame Sri Lanka for your own goodness. Let us build our small country. We've been suffering for more than 30 years. SL natives, born outside SL, and has never been to SL, please just come once and see how good SL is.

If Sinhalese are killing tamils, think about these.
1. How many tamil ministers are in SL cabinet and how many tamils MPs are in parliament right now?
2. Is there any place in Sri Lanka that a Tamil can not go? But during LTTE days, there were lots of places a Sinhalese or a Muslim couldn't go.
3. Colombo is the commercial capital of Sri Lanka. How many Tamils are living in suburbs of Colombo (Wellawatta, Kotahena, Mattakkuliya, Kirulapone, Fort area, etc.,) ?

These are only few questions.

Its ok if you can not come back to Sri Lanka. Everyone likes a good life. But please don't blame the country for that.
