Racism...

Hi peeps...

I was just watching this video from Audrey's blog, a.k.a. fourfeetnine and it made me think about what Malaysia is about...

I would have to say I miss Malaysia, the place I grew up in the place where I am from, the food... the Manglish...

Having people around where anything you say can be understood cause they speak the same language as you...

Having people who eat the same food as you where you can discuss about where has nice food and so on...

Being in a country where food is never a problem... cause we have so many choices of cuisines to have...

Or perhaps... sales... we have sales like almost every holidays due to the races in our country...

Letting us have many public holidays as well experience the other cultures in our country...

But... being in another country now... I still can't say I'm a Malaysian withough saying I'm chinese as well...

I guess it's normal for us to say we are Malaysian Chinese, but not Malaysian cause that would mean we are the Muslims to us...

So, we have to add in the Chinese there...

A friend of mine once asked... what's does your passport says...

And my response would be Malaysia...

And he would say, then you are a Malaysian...

Adding a Chinese there makes people think you are from China...

Though of course, my ancestors are from China...

But... being born and raised in Malaysia, I have definitely have the right to say I'm Malaysian...

And the video above, just prove how racist our country-mate can be...

We live in the same country, born and brought up among the same culture which is diverse at the same time that makes us what we are... unique...

Why can't we be the same as everyone else?

Why must we be categorised as something different, of a different ethnic and race...

Why can't we be one race? Which is Malaysian... Why not?
