Btw to reply on ashmostash99's topic about Racism. It depends on the mentality of the people. I'm a Native, my friends are Chinese and Malays. Both lived in their own ethnicity. Even though none of them are racist, even if we made a racist joke one another is just for fun and none offended taken
teasing between ethnic groups is very normal,just like teasing each other between different profession . i guess it quickly escalates with this identity because it is a strong part of the said identity.
nobody could say no to a world of equal opportunities . one would be plainly silly. and this is what often happens in politics. far rightist are accused of trying to bring hell on earth and saying no a beautiful land of equal opportunities. this is again wordplay and divert the attention from the issue.
valken, one thing that i realized is that tension or peace between groups of people changes alot according to the area. i come from a small town with one person of asian origin and another of african origin. and so perhaps he did not tell us that it offended him when we acted scared of him because he was jacky chan himself. but as far as i know he did not act defensive. in a large city or urban area i think things would have been different. his brother, sister and family would have told him not to mess around with racist jokes and immediatly see the principal
ultranationalist ideas also leads to defensive attitudes after all, it is strange we ask them not to be defensive. and we can clearly say it is in defence of our own interests
