Racism: A Refreshing P.O.V.

I was talking with this work friend of mines whos a malay, about malays and racism, although it wasnt in that order. Racism came first.

Despite her views that racism is entirely bad, and mine that racism is the thing itself that creates the barrier between races, we both agreed that if people could all stand each other a little more, the world would be a better place. Hey, its not everyday you get to talk about how to create world peace, you know.

Then she made a statement that surprised me. Not because I didnt know it, but coming from a malay, its something else. She said she felt that malays, as a race, were lazy and were only concerned about the present, and not so much the future. Not only that, they also sorta didnt want their own race to succeed because according to her, some of them actually badmouth the ones who do succeed.

Now, this is, of course, only what she believes, and shes entitled to that. If you feel strongly against it thats your problem, and if you wanna start talking shit I can recommend you this really great wall with a hole in it for you to fuck.

But she goes on to say, that minahs and mutts (she calls them "mats", can I get someone to comment on the accuracy of that?) are a disgrace to her race. And I agree. The even bigger problem is that somehow they are the majority of malays, unlike the chinese, who have it vice versa. What bugs her as well are the ones that arnt in school because they ponned it or whatever other reason that doesnt have to do with poverty. Its like, I quote "they just sit in one corner relak while Im here trying to do well".

Although it is a valid point that what you want to do should not be affected by other people, it probably makes an even bigger deal when your entire race is against you, against your race for success. Haha! Im sorry I had to say that.

So anyway, like a dear friend once said ,"They say we're racist, but theyre not exactly doing anything to prove otherwise right?" Maybe my dear, there are ones out there who are really trying to do something. Lets just wish them good luck. Their race depends on them. Really.
