Racism / Prejudism / Discrimination / Bigotry / Stereotyping @ 9:46 am

My sister must've known that I would be interested in this kinda thing so after I switched off the iron, I went and sat beside her. She showed me video clips about this astounding woman, Jane Elliot and her breakthrough - Blue Eyes/Brown Eyes - exercise about racism.

Later I found out why I was roped in to watch the thing. It was actually meant for my sis's lil assignment, and she needed my help to answer some of the questions. I should've known there was some hidden agenda there. Cheh.

Anyway, we enjoyed the whole thing and agreed that it was a very very good video. She was effective in putting her message across. Racism is something I could very well relate too cos I did that in Literature years ago but I never forgot about it. It is one of the things that should be eliminated.

I tell you... I absolutely LOVE this woman and so I'm gonna watch it again. I've also featured her in my blog, under 'Special Features' section so please check it out if you have time. I must say, if she were to do this in Spore, most of us will be traumatised for being taunted like that. I'm not sure if Singaporeans are ready to face this, but I should think so since we're an educated nation. *shrugs*

I know of (or rather have met once) this idiotic moron who is a self-proclaimed Racist. Of course, at that time I didn't know. A friend told me weeks later and I was just so shocked by his arrogance, the bloody *^%$#&. He really should be skinned alive. I dunno what I'd do if I had heard those words myself.

I won't be surprised if I see his face splashed across the tv and newspapers making headlines. Since you're so proud and ever so daring to say out loud that you're a racist, you must've dug your own grave right?

That's just plain suicidal, my friend. Not very smart.
