back to the modern days…in the america, quite a number of troubled kids fallen into the wrong hands, and they become the instrument of false hope. usually, they are scattered and do not post major threats; it is those who are behind the curtain we should pay attention.

to me, even in m’sia, it’s just the same. you have to be careful. the white man say what they think, but other races might not. so, what’s going on inside their heads you don’t know…

I do acknowledge the need for the system. At the same time it is not going to be fair for any sole demographic, micro wise I find myself asking what are the guidelines, so to speak regarding to what is already implemented here and elsewhere. It’s something I’m going to read up and learn more about when I have some spare time.

Dabido: you should really talk to Dr. B. He has some pretty strong opinions about this heh. But try next week onwards, this week he is trying to be a bad mofo.

In some cases I can understand the need for reverse Racism. In the instance of Australia, where they had a policy that anywhere [town] which had fourteen or more white kids automatically got a school. Yet there were Aboriginal Settlement which had more kids than that didn’t get a school or a doctor or anything. So bringing that into line and building the schools, hospitals etc based on the fact that they’d been discriminated against I can see a need for {though some parties in Australia fought against it claiming it was being to generous to a group who represented only 2% of the population). So, I think making up for the fact that they’d received less than there fair share in the past is resonable (regardless of how small their population is compared to the rest of us).

But, like I think you are saying, [correct me if I am worng] there is a fine line. You can go too far in one direction and make it so that you eventually start using the policy to discriminate against better qualified people. The problem is finding a balance and then using ways to check to make sure it doesn’t swing too far in either direction to disadvantage everyone in the long run.

As for preserving cultures etc - there is a fine line there too. The Taliban was using ‘culture’ as a weapon to discriminate against women, removing them from positions such as being Doctors and Teachers and making them wear total body coverings etc. Yet, some cultures have been entirely lost to us because of ‘conquering’ tribes/people etc making everyone conform to the ‘new’ culture of the conquerers. It’s important to conserve cultures and other ways of thinking. Somuch innovation will be lost if we all have to start thinking like American’s because their ‘pop culture’ is starting to overwhealm the planet.

For someone like me (who can get easily bored with too much ’sameness’), I need other places and cultures to immerse myself in every now and then.
**sigh** no wonder I lived in Hurstville in Sydney - it was like Chinatown!

minishorts: NV to me is scary. But from another point of view leh, it is not wrong to want to preserve your race and all the cultural values that comes with it. When it goes on to blatant discrimination and hate propaganda, then yes KILL THEM KILL THEM ALLLLLL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! BWAHHAHAHAH …. sorry.

Vincent: This post also got some hidden meanings

spot: racism is racism is racism. affirmative action in my opinion is a politically correct term to make it sound more acceptable for those who do not really understand the whys and hows of reverse racism. i could be wrong though. let me check wikipedia…

“Some countries, such as the United Kingdom, use the term “reverse discrimination” to describe the policies termed “affirmative action” in other countries, such as the US.”
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reverse_racism

So it’s a manner of speaking.

I agree about the periodic review. I think it would make the country healthier and more progressive, so if some people would actually stop thinking about themselves and their own gains for a bit…

KY: those are called cakes. and they are good.

senbai: my .pdf thingy not working :X will look at it later when i find out what’s wrong with it.

“it’s just a matter of time” –> i hope i’d be dead by then. this world is getting too crazy.

it’s not a question of can or cannot, it’s just a matter of time
