Fortunately, in the years since the lifting of martial law, once-downtrodden ethnic groups have begun to gain political clout and a sense of self-determination. The view that aboriginal culture must be preserved has become "politically correct" and mainstream. But social benefits to the aborigines cannot depend on some fuzzy sense of charity. The aborigines need more thoughtful and efficacious aid.
幸而這幾年政治解嚴後，各弱勢族群的權利及自主意識逐漸抬頭，保存原住民文化已成「政治正確」的主流意見，然而原住民福祉不能倚恃模糊的善意，他們亟需更體貼、更有效的實質幫助。
