Least We Forget ...

Not all that long ago, certain politicians up north had the tendency to talk about "bathing kerises in chinese blood" ... this kind of talk, coupled with the dramatic act of unsheating kerises at the podium, would invariably bring loud cheers (and votes at the ballot box) for the intreprid politicians ...
But fast forward to today, beneath the veneer of modernity, there are still politicians up north who believes in racialism and such ... that not only do they believe in the current "social contract" that's blatantly discriminatory, but that they believe in violence to achieve that end ...
That's the Honourable Minister for Education, Hishammuddin Hussein, making nice with delegates at this year's UMNO General Assembly Meeting, by brandishing a kris ... with the PM's son-in-law clapping in the background ....
chaps who follow malaysian parliamentary proceedings may recall the threat from a Malay politician to "Malay kerises in Chinese Blood" to a Chinese MP recently too .....
Some things haven't changed ... and we mustn't forget them just yet ... -
well, sieg heil to them...
different faces, same philosophy... -
aggressive meh?
malays also never fight any wars in their history b4...when the bristish came, just sign contract only their become bristish colonial slaves liao...such a peaceful race..
in fact i think the keris look cool.. -
Brinksmanship again...

You guys might want to read this interesting article I found, called
'Pity the Poor Keris: How a Universal Symbol Became a Tool for Racial Politics'
http://www.othermalaysia.org/content/view/56/52/
To quote from this article:
Perhaps those politicians up north would do well to remember this.
For cultured Southeast Asians in the past such as the Javanese, the art of wearing the keris was as important as the keris itself.
To unsheath the keris was an affront to society, the keris and the keris-owner. It was an expression of crude, brutish masculinity that bordered on the uncivilised and bestial. Yet tell that today to those demagogues who brandish the keris in public as soon as a camera is pointed at them. By taking the keris out of the sheath and separating it from its feminine counterpart, the sarong, they have rendered the feminine secondary. Here lies the symbolic machismo of the act, and in this singular gesture a feminine object of reverence and beauty has been transformed into a masculine symbol of power, aggression and violence.

I don't think they have the appetite for academic discourse on gender, power and space in Peninsular Malay culture.

My american friend told me those who use derogatory terms such as "Chink" on chinese, or "nigger" on african are racist, and those who look like chinese but use chink on chinese, or any black who call those of african origin 'nigger' are racists of the lowest kind.Originally posted by pinkish purple papayas:Ain't you the chinese that couldn't speak a word of chinese, denies being a chinese and looks down on ur own race?

What you just described is called reverse-racism, I think. These types are indeed the lowest of the low.Originally posted by sgdiehard:My american friend told me those who use derogatory terms such as "Chink" on chinese, or "nigger" on african are racist, and those who look like chinese but use chink on chinese, or any black who call those of african origin 'nigger' are racists of the lowest kind. -
Race? There's only one human race. The rest are abstractions.

civilization is an abstraction?Originally posted by LazerLordz:Race? There's only one human race. The rest are abstractions. -
strictly speaking, 'race' refers to genetic affiliations, and does not specifically assume cultural linkages. in a s'pore/m'sia where many people have some 'mixed blood' in them, 'race' is no longer an accurate term to be used; more appropriate is 'ethnicity', a term that talks about which cultural group one identifies with (and that recognises this individual as part of them as well).

dude, "races" are the abstractions lah.Originally posted by sgdiehard:civilization is an abstraction? -

Hence, it is good to have mixed lineage, as it allows you to identify with either side of the family.Originally posted by blueheeler:strictly speaking, 'race' refers to genetic affiliations, and does not specifically assume cultural linkages. in a s'pore/m'sia where many people have some 'mixed blood' in them, 'race' is no longer an accurate term to be used; more appropriate is 'ethnicity', a term that talks about which cultural group one identifies with (and that recognises this individual as part of them as well).
I have Hokkien and Cantonese lineage, but I prefer to be Hokkien, like my mother. -
race, with genetic affiliation and clear physical traits such as hair, eyes, colour skin, is less abstract then ethnicity with same lineage, ancestry... or cultural linkages. The point is, differences among the general human race exist, it is important that the differences are recognised and respected with equality.Originally posted by LazerLordz:dude, "races" are the abstractions lah. -
It is a fact that certain physical characteristics make a person more attractive to the opposite sex.
Girls with fair skin, red or blonde hair & blue eyes make me wet. Better if they are under the age of 16.
