Race off
Recently, there’s an incident where a blogger (aka Sexy Fragrance Prince) was arrested for racist comments which he posted on his blog some time ago. I mean, we all sterotype against one another and that mentality, though cursed by some, will always be useful in our daily lives. For example, one might prefer to wait for the next lift instead of joining the big and hairy man with a scar across his face and tattoos sprayed all over his arms and back. And when we see those sexy mamas in Geylang after having supper, we won’t be thinking, "whose wife / girlfriend is that?" but discussing about their nationalities and potential income instead. And when a dark-skinned shabbily-dressed Indian-looking man pops into the library in Boon Lay, won’t the thought of the occupation construction worker comes into mind? And then, we might spend the next few minutes thinking "What is he doing in a library?".
Bad thoughts? Perhaps, but they form the way we think and perceive our environment; there’s nothing right or wrong about them. What’s wrong though, is how we expose those thoughts to the public, be it friends, relatives or mere acquaintances. To say it in the appropriate manner, politely and with absolute understanding of the matter, requires not only great skills but a fitting biologically natural background as well.
