Racism & Prejudice

We live in a society where cultural values are taught and respected, with different races and religion. I mean, everyone knows that we live in a multi-cultural society. Its an old cliche but do many of us think that way all the time? Sometimes, being in a minority group in this country, makes me wonder, are we ever been noticed or simply cast aside? We all know the majority population here and they will always get the nod, ahead of others in anything. For example, getting a job in this country will forever be tough. And its been made tougher when priority is given to certain people. Ok, it may not always be the case but everyone knows it. Its even happening in the army. Why am i making a big deal out of it? Well, i'm not. I'm just stating facts that has belittle others. It has happened to me before and it will continue to happen. I'm sad to say that it will always be like that and even more so, is the fact that people always say that we are living a multi-racial society. Is it the language that we speak? Is it the colour of our skin? What is it? No one knows and no one will ever tell u why. It will just go on and continue to plague our so-called multi-racial society. The government have been trying to enforced bondings and communications among people of different races and religion. I'm sure they did. What we see is only on the surface, but underneath it? Don't bother i suppose. Do racism exist in our country? Does racism and prejudice goes hand in hand? Racial-prejudice? To be continue......
