what does race really mean to you?..and how does one attain the credibility to judge another race as inferior or superior??..which by me,is wrong..
See,as a boy growing up in my town..i had no Indian friends for the 1st 12 years of my life,and till date i only have one that i treasure greatly(im talking when im in malaysia ok,)..That did not make a difference in any way..at all..for i had other friends,the locals,the chinese..They did not see me as indian,neither did i see them as a faction of another race..we were friends..we all thought alike,liked the same things,ate the same food during recess,and basically just enjoyed each others company..And now as a 21 year old,it irks me whenever i go to west malaysia.everywhere you see it's just the same race huddled together..so what if they do it,just cause they speak the same language?..i spoke malay my entire life in sabah and did not in any way find a problem culpable of me wanting to be friends with members of my own race..that's bullshit..My parents did not bring me up along those lines..Never once have i heard them telling me to be friends with only the indians..because they themselves thought it was bullshit..i could be friends with who ever i fancied..As long as they were good people..that was all they needed..they didnt want me bringing some crackhead back home..which was fine by me.i wouldn't have wanted to put my parents under scrutiny from neighbours and friends anyway..
But yeah..as long as we click.then we're good to go..Things were so much easier being a kid..It's only when one grows up and start to see their friends as "different",is when the the problem rears it's ugly head..It's pathetic..i remember,when i studied in penang..The indians didnt want anything to do with me,because for one thing,i didn't speak the language or even feel the need to attempt to learn iti..screw that shit..i had people who liked me for just speaking english..People who i still like very much till date..The racial separation in the west is so obvious..As compared to sabah..here it's all good..if we click,then we aramaiti sama-sama..i leave the racial discrimination to the fickle minded..the world does not need people like them..
see,the thing is..when you only have love for your own race,then you just leave space to discriminate..and at the end of the day,that only generates hate..NO particular race is better than the rest..EVERYONE is the same..Being a medical student i do cut open bodies..EVERYONE is the same inside..your liver is situated the same place,your lungs,your heart even to the most minute of things like the appendix..For example,being a chinese,does not mean your liver is placed in your chest cavity.,or a malay,your heart is behind your intestines.or an indian,your gall bladder is in your neck..everyone is the same..it's only the physical features..and that should never be the basis of how someone should be treated or judged..I couldn't imagine how some people, one fine day,say"oh im better than the rest,i should be king"..again..bullshit,in it's purest form..
some people are scared if they mingle with folks from different races,they'd lose their culture,heritage and all that crap...Screw that,if you respect each other just fine,you won't be going forcing your belief's and views down your friends throat..you respect him,and he respect you..there,case closed..For me,even if a relationship is concerned.i am not confined or feel the need to be with someone of my own creed.
you can be any thing,as long as you and i understand,care and love each other just fine..i see no need to walk out at any point..one does not get guaranteed happiness by being with someone of their own kind..you might just as well find it being with someone of a different race...I don't know bout you guys,but this is what i sincerely feel...:)
Anyway i got to go,i'd go on and one,but alas,time envies my ass..Btw,All this is just what i feel..i do not under any circumstances represent my own kind in voicing out my thoughts..i represent myself..others can think for themselves..
As some might find this post wrong,inaccurate,superficial etc etc..well to bad.go write your own blog and whine there about what a bad man i am.:)..lol..
I LOVE MY FELLOW MAN!!..whatever colour or shape you come in..bye!..
