Racism  

Racism is a age of trick in the books of politicians or those who want to gain support of the masses. One would think that this day in age, that would be a tiny problem that cant be used to benefit but reality is not everyone has the kind of access to information as the urban folks do hence leaving a gap to be exploited.

We hear about rants by educationist who are supposed to teach students how to be well equipped to handle themselves. As a student, you take most things your teacher teaches you as the truth and the way it is but when a few use the opportunity, it moulds a racist nation.

A simple example is the Tan Hong Ming advertisement by Yasmin Ahmad, it clearly shows how colour blind the young are unless taught racism.

For me, race is very personal. Its something that must be taught to everyone to remind us of who we are but again its something personal. One should not impose that on another person, not even their own.

Never tolarate racism, never let someone tell you that you are greater than another and should look down on them. I am against racism, end of the day its only skin deep!
