Osama And The World

Recently we saw the victory of America's first ever non-white President. Why didn't I just go with black? Simple, just because I can. Being racial is a choice and nobody can tell me otherwise. If you go around passing racial remarks its because you like it and you decided that you're just gonna do it to spite a person of a different race.

I'm not racist but recently I witnessed a friend that was really happy about Obama's victory. She went on about how black people have been opressed over the ages and that its about time a black president rise to the occasion. She concluded that people like her deserve a chance. Here's the thing...she was Indian.

I couldn't help myself! I mentioned something like this.

"Dei...before you guys went YO! YO!, you guys actually went AYOYO!!"

And continued,

"Be proud about being who you are and be happy for what he (Obama) stands for, not the color of his skin"

"The proper term for you is brown and generally you'd be known around the world as Asians. Don't mis-label yourself coz that might hurt a lot of your relatives who are proud to be Indian."

I tell you, no wonder Samy Vellu has a hard time keeping things in order. A lot of our Indian friends are forgetting who they really are.

But regardless, we have to be proud, first and foremost that we're Malaysians. I was born into a time and place where I grew up and spent time with races of every kind and in no way do I feel that we are any different. What keeps us apart is culture and traditions..and even that happens when we're practising rituals or religious affairs. Here's a thought...who defines Culture and Traditions? I don't believe in anything that divides.

We are who we are, based on what we stand for. My congratulations to Obama for sticking to what he believes in and how it will affect his nation regardless of creed and religion.

Here is one guy who is happy to be who he is and I admire him for that.
