Deflating Racism - let's do our part.

To deflate Racism is to destroy the environment that stimulate racism

I've posted these points on ReCom , but I've extracted only the points:

1. Racism is a subset of "asabiyah" (I forgot what's in English). "Asabiyah" is a human's tendency to get together and group due to something that they share - language, traits, belief, anything.

2. We're all humans, we do possess this "asabiyah".

3. Therefore, we're all racist.

4. Racism cannot be destroyed, however, the degree could be deflated.

5. To deflate racism is to reduce the environment that stimulate racism

6. Malaysian environment stimulate racism. For example, employing same race, NEP, racial politics, establishment of sekolah (jenis) kebangsaan, media prima's TV8 (Chinese) and TV9 (Malay) and etc. These are the element that has racism in them.

7. An effective way to deflate racism is to start from within - Chinese from Chinese, Malay from Malay, Indian from Indian. Very much like how Nelson Mandela destroyed apartheid by favoring none of the skin color, including black. That way he deflate racism among blacks. And not only that, he managed a score of white supporters along the way.

9. For the Chinese, to deflate racism among the Chinese can be effectively achieved from the Chinese themselves.

10. As a corollary, For the Malays, to deflate racism among the Malays can be effectively achieved by the Malays.

At the very least, play our part not to display "For Chinese only", "For Malay only" advertisement. But don't limit yourself unnecessarily. The worst thing is to do nothing.

Let's do our part.
