racism

Show me a person who claims that he/she is not a racist in this country and I will in turn show you a liar. I would think that everyone from the richest person in the country right down to the person sleeping on the floors of the Pasar Seni LRT station blames the workings of their life or the unfairness of their life in a certain race...the Chinese are greedy and the only thing they will be ever good at in being kniving and greedy, the Indians are just liars period and the Malays, well the Malays are by far the laziest race and just wait around for aids from the government.
I'm no angel, in fact i definitely fall into one of that categories where i do stereotype people according tot heir race and make assumptions once i hear if they are from a particular race...and there is no acception if it is Indian, in fact, I am somehow harder on my own people. The thing is, we're brought up that way, in our semangat BERTOLERANSI...we are taught to be tolerant of others and in tolerance, the resentment grew and the unfair NEP caused more harm in the distribution of the wealth of our country's vast resources that many considered to be unfair and is at its current peak i would think with the Government's decision on certain matters that have prodded the sensitivity of the country.
Thing is whilst we might have had our prejudices all the time, i feel that these prejudice feelings are slowly creating a path that is fast leading to hate and resentment which once peaked could lead to so much more...
And how did all these thoughts emerge in my head? the Malay car wash people in front of my house who i know for a fact have to work so hard everyday to make a living without any help whatsoever from the government and from the comment my mother made awhile ago while we were watching the credits of a Tamil picture we presumed to be locally made...
