RACISM
It's something I cannot, and will not, stand for. It's disgusting. Really.
I think it sprouts from the mentality that a race is superior than another. And let me just clear the air: that's not true. No race should be put on a pedestal; no race is worth any less than another. Nobody should be treated any differently because of where they come from. Nobody should be in the position to form any premature ideas of an individual because of their ethnicity or nationality. Nobody should feel any less worthy because of ignorant people.
I am literally ashamed when I see/hear/know of Malaysians who show prejudice to those who are different from us. In my opinion, it occurs due to lack of education and exposure to other cultures. It's even more sad when people don't even realize what they do!
See, the truth of the matter is, we influence others, just as others influence us. This means that we are all educators. We can all be role models! We have the responsibility to open as many people's minds as possible because well, people sort of rule this world. So theoretically, more open-minded people means less ignorant children. Less ignorant children means better future. Better future means world peace! Okay, maybe it's not that easy.... but I hope you can see how important education, acceptance and tolerance is, and how one thing can lead to another, therefore we should try to make changes for the better, not for the worse.
