the pot calling the kettle yellow
when we poke fun at ourselves (eg singaporeans are so and so), it's about being progressive, the ability to accept your quirks.when others poke fun at us (about the same things we laugh at), it's an insult.
when the yellow man laughs at another yellow man, it's called broad minded, the ability to accept your culture.
when the other coloured man laughs at a yellow man, it's racism.
when the yellow man praises another yellow man, it's called admiration.
when the other coloured man praises another yellow man, he's trying to be funny.
hey, can't we all see that color and culture aside, we do fall under the same group as in mankind, humankind, humans, homo sapiens? so what's up with wanting to rule the world with YOUR kind only? what makes you think YOUR kind is the best for the world and what someone up there really wants? and who's to say the man you call brother now is not the one who's gonna slit your neck the next day?
