Yay!! Finally the end of trials! However, a more disturbing future looms ahead as the Finals approaches slowly but steadily...until it finally engulf us with the familiar moodiness and the panic feeling which occurs whenever there's an exam. Oh well, better enjoy the rest now =D.
Looking back at my trials week, i was kind of suprised at my odd confidence and lack of panic-ness. Haha. I don't really know how to place this but i felt that there's less to study in MUFY compared to secondary school. Aren't they suppose to prepare us for university? Haha. Maybe i'm easily contented. I don't know? However, i shall not make it sound like i'm bragging 'cause i really DID study occasionally when i feel the need to. Oh! One good thing about Pre-U is that they have topic tests! I like it 'cause it makes you study for it and really know the topic. Haha. Yeap! That's about it!
------------Next Topic------------
Now, moving on to my next topic! Haha! A more serious issue that has been around since dunno when...
Racial discrimination! Okay, lets break this down and focus solely on the issue of the African people in Malaysia instead of Chinese being systematically discriminated in Malaysia ok? I don't want to get caught by the ISA. Haha. So...
Well, recently, the community hyped up the issue about the Africans residing in our country, which the story had been fueled by the papers and the recent crimes in our country. The question is, are they really a threat to the community's security and safety or are we only generalizing just because there is some of them being involved in some petty crime or maybe some more serious crime (I don't know).
However, in my opinion, i feel that most of the people's view on the "black" people are skewed by the image of the black people potrayed in medias. On top of that, i feel that people are afraid of what they don't understand and what they don't know, which i think is quite true. Therefore, that leads to the misunderstandings and the fear of the Africans experienced by the locals.
Seriously, we are over generalizing. Most of the Africans i knew in college are OK and nice. Definitely not criminals type or those who creates havoc in a community. Some of them are even better and more helpful than the locals i knew. They are just the same as us, only with different skin colours, beliefs and culture. It all boils down to their upbringing again.
So, lets all get to know the real person underneath the skin before we make a judgement on them ok? Some are here only to make an honest living and we shall welcome them with our warm and famed hospitality, shouldn't we?

WHoa~...you sound like you're writing an essay! lol!
But i agree with you that there should not be any racial discrimination; regardless on whether the person is black or white or asian.
It's unfortunate that there are people who judge another by the colour of their skin. But really, who are we to judge a person solely on their appearance and skin colour?
Racism may never end until everyone can come to an understanding that we can never Judge a book by its cover and that we should give each other a chance to prove ourselves as an individual of wholesome character rather than generalizing (as you have mentioned)the person based on bias judgment of another person's wrong doing of the same race.
Everything starts from how you think and what you believe in. So let's hope that some time in the near future, racial discrimination will be eliminated! :D
