Why do we have all these racial slurs? What makes you and me any different to anyone else?
A racist person is ignorant. For after all ignorance is bliss. Ignorance not only means you’re too stupid to comprehend what is going on but your also intolerant of that upon which you do not understand.
Take Carly Bishop for instance, a girl I used to attend school with, all the beauty in the world, money to boot and good marks. However she was a racist pig. Carly had no comprehension of inner beauty nor did she have any comprehension of family heritage.
Do you consider yourself patriotic or even the slightest bit nationalistic? No? What about ignorant? No. I didn’t think so but you are and you may not even know it.
Take a close look at the every day language you’re surrounded by. Nigga, wog, pom, yank, chink, gooks. Racial slurs poison our minds. They corrupt us and turn us against our fellow man.
Immigration is a vital part of our nation and sustaining both a viable population and economic increase. How often do the media tell you this?
When an immigrant is mention on the news or even talked about over the radio, you hear send them back. This does little more than condemn us to be left with our own stupidity.
Australians are hypocrites. We present our self to the world as a multicultural wonder land where equality is an infectious disease but that projected image is just an illusion.
We hate, we rape and we even condemn some to death. How you may wonder? Racial slurs.
We hate them because they are different. We rape them of their right to an individualistic life free of prejudice and we even, quite often without thinking, drive some to commit suicide.
Do we hate because of nationalistic pride. Is our patriotism that strong? No we hate because we are either jealous or threatened.
Threatened by their beliefs, culture, religion, nation of origin, skin colour. You name it we hate it but let’s face facts. I’m of immigrant decent and so are all of you. How quickly we turn our backs on those who we were once in par with.
I cannot blame this racist world entirely on you. Racism is not confined to one country or to one type of religious or political system. It is a world wide problem.
A world wide problem that needs every person to rise up, to see that we are more then just owned by the body of land upon which we live on, but that we are in fact, despite our differences a unique member of the human race.
We claim to be Australians but we also claim to be multicultural. If we wish to achieve true multiculturalism then we surely cannot be racist.
Take away all the Asians, all of the Europeans and all of the North and South Americans and we do not have a nation.
If you still have racial contempt against your fellow man, ask yourself the following question. What exactly does it mean to be Australian and who are we?
