Racial Harmony

Well hello there boys and girls!
How's everybody doing?
Good?
Ahh.. screw you all.

Next week, school reopens.
Yeay. Yahoo. Yipee.
Actually the sooner I get it over with, the better.

Anyway, the past 2 weeks (gave up by the 3rd),
I'd been trying to get a job; you know, seeing
how I'm dirt broke.
Yep, that's right.
Dirt broke.
Aw heck, I don't even HAVE dirt.
That's how broke I am.

Here in Singapore, we enjoy racial harmony.
People are not discriminated against because
of the colour of their skin.
Equal opportunity for all!
Mmph...Mmph...!....Mmm.....MWAHAHAHAH!

Oh man, I crack myself up, I really do.

Racial harmony? In Singapore?
That's like saying George Bush
is is smarter than a puppy.
It just isn't true, man!

On the surface, everything seems
just peachy.
You see the Chinese and the Malays, and the Indians
all holding hands with each other singing 'We Are Singapore...'

Try digging a bit.
Go on. Dig.
Dig I said!

When a Malay or an Indian begins looking
for work, that's when it becomes plainly obvious.
It used to be 'Chinese preferred' in the ads.
Because of complaints, it's now 'Chinese-speaking preferred'.
See the difference?
Yeah, neither do I.

Oh hey, did I mention that there's absolutely no law
against racism?
Sure they arrested 2 bloggers for making racist comments....
but to actually refuse to hire someone
because of their race, heyy.... no problem!

Now providing hard evidence isn't easy.
Employers usually give lame-ass excuses such as
'We need them to speak Chinese' and 'We chose the best candidate'.

Here's a little experiment you could try on your own.
All you need is the following: A chinese-speaking Malay and Indian, and a Chinese
who doesn't speak Chinese.
They should all have the EXACT same qualifications.

Here's what you do : Get them all to apply for the same positions
at random companies.

What you're gonna find out: Only the Chinese who doesn't speak
Chinese is going to get a job offer.

I believe one of the reasons most people
don't claim to be racist is because, well, it's embarrassing.
People want to 'save face'.
So they make up excuses for their racist actions.

I've got more to say, but I'm hungry,
so all you little boys and girls will have to wait for my next post.

Well enough of that
