RACE RELATIONS IN MALAYSIA

Reposted from:
Malaysia is a Racist and Totalitarian Nation (or is it?)

If you want a can-be-taken-seriously neutral name for this Malaysia is a Racist and Totalitarian Nation (or is it?) group, then may I suggest we call it simply:

RACE RELATIONS IN MALAYSIA.

Race Relations is a multi-disciplinary subject with experts in genetics (read about M3, M9 and M12 DNA markers in the Human Genome Project), political science, law, history, sociology, cultural anthropology, psychology, philosophy, linguistics, language, religion, spirituality and etc. all able to provide valuable input.

Yes, we don't talk about Race Relations in Malaysia often enough, objectively enough or even rationally enough.

The time for change is NOW. After 50 years of Merdeka, 50% of the nation are still calling ourselves Malaysian Indians and Malaysian Chinese. Semantically, it should be Indian Malaysians and Chinese Malaysians. If you understand why this semantic change is correct, it can bring about a mindset change that is progressive.

But the critical paradigm shift I'm looking for is when we stop even having to qualify our identity ethnically ~ we are Malaysians, yes, albeit an artificial political contruct.

Yes, we are different, we celebrate our diversity, we do not need to conform or subscribe to a single majority viewpoint on every issue. We embrace different points of view and perspectives, we embrace dissent.

We encourage people to speak their minds. Who knows, one of them may actually be speaking that elusive Truth we're all been seeking half our days...

Please invite your friends who have an interest or expertise in genetics, political science, law, history, sociology, cultural anthropology, psychology, philosophy, linguistics, language, religion, spirituality and etc. to join this group and participate in a rational, enlightening, information-sharing discussion.

The days of political polemics and ideological diatribes are over, we are fed up of politicians who spout these. We've had enough of them. Time for change. The time is now.
