i dun like racists and...
today in the papers the papers there was an article on how singaporeans view racism... racsim is a real danger in singapore especially since we are a multiracial country... with a history or racial riots and a fear of terrorism... how can we of all people be as insensitive about the people that we have to rely on to keep this country well oiled and running...
apparently many that wrote in believed that racism is okay as long as it wasn't used in a direct malicious way... there was this one guy who wrote that the stereotypes of the various races was something that identified themselves... really? i as a chinese would not like to be known as yellow skined as much as an indian would be insulted if someone refered to him as black...
there was this other person who wrote about keeping the races "pure"... he is totally against interracial marriages for himself and his children... but don't children of interracial marriages turn out to be more often than not the bueatiful people... in this day and age this sort of mentality is quite surprising... especially in singapore where the government is actually encouraging interracial interaction... maybe this person's actual intention was lost when the papers wrote down his comments or maybe he just lives in a very chinese part of singapore... which i don't believe exists...
there was this lady who writes that she was turned down for a scholarship application because she was malay... in her face... because they didn't want to employ her later as malays and indians are known to create trouble... apparently these people subscribe to the honesty is the best policy too closely... but these troubles would be easliy avoided if these events don't exists... maybe i'm navie...
having a happy and cohesive community is probably the most effective way to combat the evils of terrorism and racial disharmony... obviously some people just don't understand it... stuck in the 12th century perhaps... sorry to sound like i'm bitching but it is...

I really think this whole issue is sooooooo passe.
Serously...think the idiot media is playing it up too much. And you know what...it all started with that silly NTU guy who brought it up with the forum with balakrishnan....and i was there. They really hyped it up a lot...like wad's up man. So as good citizens...we should keep it low and not mention such things even on our blogs right? haha :)
You know as they say: let sleeping dogs lie
