Someone did something to me today that really made an impact to me today.
Recently, all the guys in my class expressed their interests in promoting a special cultural-cum-racial game. The game's objective was to promote cultural and racial attention towards the minority race in our little island country. By playing this game, we are able to be more alert on the existence of minority races which holds less then 1% in the population. Say, Indians.. Sikhs maybe.
The name of this game is ''Ba-Yee Simi Sek?!'' You are supposed to 'alert' another participant of the game by rather extreme measures(e.g. Pinch) when you chance upon the specified race, and then ask him/her to describe certain 'distinctive' features(e.g. Head wear) of the target. Upon correct description, the measure to alert the participant will cease.
I was engaging in this social-upright game today with my train kakee, and guess what?!
The Sikh flicked us off!!! WOW, we were trying to be socially accommodating and proactive, and this guy appears and points his forbidden finger. Such a rude, and blasphemous gesture, tsktsk.
In my honest opinion, when you do not like the idea of the game, you can just ignore it or at most criticize it verbally, through diplomatic approaches. It is utterly racist to flick us off just because we are Chinese. Must we be subjected to such detest and ill-treatment just because we are the dominant and majority race? So what if our pa-xiao can drown you a million times over? There is no reason to treat us this way.
Well, what i wanna say. damn ba-yee.
