Dreams.

O ya...also had a bone to pick about racism tonight...
As many of you may know...my lovely friends love to make racial jokes...
Especially when I ask them to reframe from their racial slurs when I am around...You know...There are soooooo many reasons why you shouldnt do that, but let me tell you the main reason that I dont do it. Well...let me just...ya, put my thoughts down

Have you ever been discriminated against because you were whatever race you were? Most likely cause you were chinese? Yes? I'm sure you have, but not to a strong degree. Did you like it? I should hope you didnt. I am fortunate enough to not have been discriminated against because of my race to a strong extent either. One of my main reasons for not being racist to people is because I believe that people should "Do onto others, as you would have others do onto you". You know I live by that, and how would you like it if a group of people kept talking shit about us? The chinese. How would that make you feel? Cause maybe they dont know us, maybe they're using stereotypes just to make jokes. Jokes at our expense. I ask you again, Have you ever been discriminated against? No, not to the extent my mother has before. Not to the extent my father was before. You forget, Canada wasnt a friendly place for asians until 1949. Later for the Japanese.

I understand you may not understand what my parents went through here, and my parents parents. You all know my family has lived in Canada for 3 generations now, going onto its forth. My mom got taunted and teased and insulted in school for being chinese, my father as well. Though my mother was strong, and chased the people down and beat them (literally) thats not the point. A lot of people in Canada are fighting for equality ya know that? One of them being me, your friend. And when you make those racial comments, it demeans all that these people are trying to do. Thats right, EQUALITY. E-Q-U-A-L-I-T-Y. Everyone here is equal, and deserves the common decency not to be prejugded by their race.

Yes, I know I'm uptight, and I know I get upset easily about this, but as I've said before, one person CAN make a difference. If you stop being racist, then hopefully your friends will stop. You cant just simply write it off as "Racism will always exist, so why not do it" With that attitude, the world is going to hell in hand basket. If you dont fight for what you believe to be right, or what you KNOW is right, then whats the point in living at all? Lets just let the majority make the decision for us...because they must be right....cause you know...Hilter had a LOT of people on his side, they must be right, so Canada and US and England should have just let them kill the Jewish people. Why? Because they are the majority, and will always have someone existing there. How about anti-racists? We exist, and will always exist, why not help us?

I hope you understand why I get so irritated when you guys make such racial comments. And by the way...that Jewish joke with the pizza...was WAY out of line.

Just what I think, take from it what you will.
