Show allegiance to your race. It is crucial to your survival in the prison system to immediately show your allegiance to your race -- though this doesn't mean you have to join a gang to do it. If you are some white suburbanite 19-year-old kid that pledged yourself as a crip, and you used to buy the dope you got busted selling from your crip homeboys in the projects, that doesn't mean you can link up with them in prison. If you're white and you walk in slapping high fives with the brothers before you shake hands with the white dudes, you're going to send a rift through the whole community.
This doesn't mean you have to get a swastika on your forehead or "Blood for Life" tattooed on your chest. It simply means whichever race you are associated with, you seek them out first and introduce yourself.
You get to know inmates of your race first. Especially the "important" figures within your race. You can be "friendly" with people of other races after that.
In prison, blacks, Mexicans, Chicanos, Asians, and whites all look after their own. This isn't the time to be colorblind.
locals ah nehs who worshipped those india-mari ones will be in for a nasty shock. they will be totally looked down upon and treated like dirt. theyve been here too long to have forgotten the caste nonsense that their ancestors had to endure....
You know the weirdest fucking thing?
Yet the minute the mrt wants chinese announcements for example everyone's offended and the majority race in here is chinese.
shit skins are fussy bastards.
Frankly, if Singapore wants to consider itself a cosmopolitan country, it should use only English in all its public announcements. Usage of Chinese, Tamil and Malay should cease. Otherwise, how to educate the non-English speakers?
According to my Indian neighbour, these ah neh bastards are bringing their despicable caste system wherever they migrate. Just like the Muslims who want to enforce their Islamic law in UK, Netherlands, France etc. Why these people want to enforce their way of living in a country where they fled to as economic refugees simply defies logic. An excerpt from http://drambedkarbooks.wordpress.com/2011/08/18/caste-abroad/ This excerpt highlights how Indian castes practices have spring up in UK. Singapore has made the mistake of importing ah nehs en masse, thereby allowing the caste system to flourish here.
... why the fuck should they have a shit skin commerical on macdonalds?
i really have to point out but it seems that chinese ppl seem to have the largest number of ppl that hate their own kind for no good reason at all.
You should question MacDonalds for an answer. If it offends you ask them to stop it. They may oblige you like they stopped the distribution of a piglet figurine sometime back (during Chinese New Year, I think) because they feared it could offend Muslims. It could be a business decision to tap a particular market segment like hotels wooing the Chinese with mooncakes and Christians with turkey dishes during Christmas season.
To tell you the truth i don't ever recall a maconald's commerical that is chinese or celebrating chinese culture other than the figurines.
its just economics.... too many chasing too little.
got lah, cny prosperity burger.......................................
did they do a special dance segment or something like that?
Anyway like what laksaboy has stated the infestation of alien skins is quite a big problem.
no dance lah, just a commercial near cny time advertising the prosperity burger and meal..............................
i don't get you. You ever noticed that when a non chinese say a malay makes a racist remark on chinese you never seen any other malays offended by it and i am sure it applies to indians too but somehow many chinese will become super garang when they see a racist remark on a non chinese and automatically assume the offender is a chinese.
these past 2 years there seems a huge increase in indians FTs in spore
chinese may hate their fellow chinese coz they see each other as competition for limited resources. europe may seem all peachy now, but those white folk were killing each other during the middle ages.
wah lau, i think you carry too much baggage lah bro. u wanna see racism, then you will see it everywhere. but i understand your quest to raise awareness about how racism cuts both ways.
anyway the chinese are the majority, so by simple probability the offender should be a chinese. and since the chinese are the majority, a minority can say all the shit they want about the majority but they will still remain the minority.
its too late in the night to be delving into deep racial psychology... just do what you think you need to do to become colourblind. good luck.
you are completely wrong!
It's not competition for limited resources, that's only a lame excuse. Becos in the 1989 Tiananman massacre even though there is totally NO PRCs at all in spore competing for resources, already there were some sporean-chinese PRC-haters that wrote to newpapers forums expressing their callous disapproval for our local newspapers to report this China politIcal event on front page newspapers, they say they only have disgust for all things chinese including mandarin language and they don't care at all even if several thousands of China-chinese commoners get masscared etc.
The real deeper reason why some local-chinese detest PRCs is becos there are some sporean-chinese from the 1980s till now that strongly detests speaking in Mandarin, detests the Mandarin as a compulsory need to pass subject language in schools in order to get to tertiary, detests so-called thinking that an ethnic chinese must be able to speak in Mandarin.
This particular group of sporean-chinese feels strongly that for a sporean-chinese to speak in Mandarin is extremely degrading and they feel it is a status symbol if an ethnic chinese lie to say he cannot to speak in Mandarin and can only speak in English and his mother tougue dialect.
The thing is the rising global importance of Mandarin in this past 2 decades or speaking in Mandarin is extremely closely coupled together with China and PRCs............It's impossible to decouple this 2. Hence due to this groupd of sporean-chinese that had very strong detest for Mandarin, hence they also naturally detests the PRCs and China becos mandarin is the official language of China.
Another ironical thing is this group of sporean-chinese that feels extremely strongly that it is very degrading and very wrong for an ethnic to speak in mandarin, they are ironically usually the average-income people and they are not the multi-millionaires type. I had come across many working-class english-educated sporean-chinese currently in their 40s to late 50s type that strongly despise speaking in Mandarin and feels it is a very high-class status symbol to say they can only speak English and dialect and cannot speak mandarin at all.
Once can go do a survey, any sporean-chinese that feels it is a high-class status symbol for an ethnic chinese to say he cannot speak Mandarin and can only speak in English and dialect or he resent that Mandarin is a compulsory need to pass subject in our school curriculam, this person will surely detest PRC and China. This 2 factors confirmed go together.
