Racism?

Not saying that racism is not a cause for concern, but sometimes we tend to give it too much attention to the extent that it's rather subjective definition blurs the main picture we should be looking at.

I for one, am against racism. But I'm even more against the destruction of a youngster's future over silly comments made within the confinements of a personal tweet space. It's already difficult to make your mark in Singapore, and having the stigma of being a racist to your name certainly amplifies that.

And since I'm doing a module on India, which is really a fascinating country that I hope to visit one day- Mumbai and Hyderabad specifically. I thought I might just wanna chip in my 2 cents worth on this. Let's face it, racism will always exist, even in the intricate system of a long existing caste system. Look at the differences between the Brahmans and the untouchables (not because they are invincible, but because literally nobody wants to touch them). The caste system is divided into 5 levels, within each level exists 100s or 1000s of different groups. It doesn't require a well read/educated person to get my point. You want to abolish racism? You have to start it from your roots. Abolish the caste system then. Hang on a minute, it's supposedly abolished officially :)

And I just got corrected by my lecturer, the untouchables are not even considered as part of the caste system. Yeap. Quit the comparisons, hating, anger and yea we might just successfully reduce the extent of racism- mainstream or underground
