i'm usually neutral when it comes to racism. especially when the bumiputra's special rights are the main agenda. most of my friends can testify to that. i think in a country like malaysia, rich in it's own cultures and diversities, tolerance is a must for us. for peace to prevail, we must learn to make certain sacrifices and learn to live with each other. if we can't do that, the unity on which this country was founded on will crumble.
however, instances and individuals highlighted in this particular letter makes me wonder. why do i maintain my idealistic views? right now, i really do not know. and don't get me wrong. i'm not blaming a particular race. all i have to say is that we are all responsible as a whole.

happy to read active posting. you can write u know? :) keep it up
'tolerance' is a bad word my friend. it means you are putting up with other people's shit.
'acceptance' is more appropriate cuz that's what we need to do. though i can't really 'accept' being a 2nd class citizen where i was born. watever, not really in the mood to discuss racism, later...
