Why oh Why must it be this way..Before you can read me you gotta learn how to see me Free your mind.. and the rest will follow Be color blind, Dun be so shallow - En VogueI was discussing with a chinese fren over this matter and we both concluded that this shudnt be sensitive matter.
Its like some kinda norm that we grow into it.
what i meant, I rarely talk abt this but i so have to cuz its been like this since the time i was a kid and its been passed on thru generations i think and its repulsive when it happens everywhere. in the bus, streets, mrts and all that...I was thinking.. If you're chinese, and you're buddhist, you hve no right to be racist, especially towards Indians.
You do the math. I was thinking of that when this old chinese lady was saying how unpleasant the air smelt when the indians got off at little india on 67 bus ride from tamps to cck.
Singapore will never change lah. Kumar once said" you know, we wayang only during Racial Harmony Day. Its proven fact since I was very young, everytime a Chinese parent wants to discipline their children, they always say that if they dont, the Indian man will take them away. "ABU NEH-NEH WILL CATCH YOU THEN YOU KNOW"
Its funny when he said that and everyone laughed.
But its a painful truth.
Wonder what they have to say abt the Malays. If they read Berita Harian, they'd probably laugh.
Everytime a Malay passes his maths with distinctions, it gets them a front page headline.
Everytime a chinese passes his maths with distinctions, they get a President's scholarship.
Does it annoy you that I keep saying Im half Malay? Because I am.
When we are Malay, we're also Arab, Indian, Chinese (yea, it hurts), Ceylonese, Javanese, Boyanese, Thai and what not.
Our forefathers had moved arnd a lot and really absorbed racial tolerance. But when you're Chinese, thats it,
you're straight up kiasu-saliva spitting-public cursing-pork eating-kailing growing Chinese.
Boring eh? You'll never get rid of the single eyelid that way, folks.Here are some pointers...
Listen to en vogue.
Prejudice...! wannna hear a song abt it..here it goes...I wear tight clothing and high heel shoesIt doesn't make me a prostituteI like rap music wear hip hop clothesThat doesn't mean that I'm sellin' dope
Oh please forgive me, for having straight hairIt doesn't mean there's another blood in my heirI might date another race or colorDoesn't mean I don't like my strong black brothers
Why oh why must it be this way
Before you can read me you gotta learn how to see meFree your mind and the rest will followBe color blind don't be so shallowSo I'm a sisterBuy thing with cashThat really doesn't mean that all my credit is badSo why dispute me and waste my time
Because you think that the price is too high for meI can't look without being watchedYou rang my buy before I made up my mindOh now attitude why even botherI can't change your mind you can't change my color
