		Taiwan, on the other hand, is ethnically Han, and by the late 19th century was administered as a normal province by the Qing.
		The Green camp is becoming increasingly nativist in its rhetoric and practice, with a sharp edge of prejudice against ex-mainlander families, who still number perhaps a sixth of the population and form the core of the People First Party, and a milder one against correct Mandarin speakers, a much larger group.
