whilst chatting with the proprietor of the "beauty" shop last evening, the topic on inter-racial marriages cropped up. i avoided giving my two penneth's worth on such issues, knowing what these ethnic chink's are like.
to be fair, not all wee islanders of chinese descent are as bigoted and warped. it's those who assert their racial superiority that raise my ire.
back to the subject of mixed marriages. indeed there are a mighty lot of such unions occuring over here on the wee isle, as statistics - which sane person believes **statistics? - has shown most of which are between *white blokes and wee island chink birds. the situation wasn't any different from the colonial times, really.
but back then, those fellas tend to be either antipodean or british. it was also quite common amongst the three main races to inter-marry, like: chinese-malay, chinese-indian, indian-malay. and then their progeny went on to add other elements to the mix.
anyways, said proprietor lamented about the lack of, and i quote: "us pure chinese" these days, given the "liberal fratenising today's youngsters indulge themselves in". unquote. i wasn't appalled by the chauvinistic nature of the statement per se. although i was nearly wanting to ask her if she had thought of returning to where her grandparents came from. ie: China.
honestly, if any of you's chance upon those PR spin about how integrated, assimilated and accepted wee islanders are of one another; it's nothing but a load of utter bollocks.
furthermore, though i must clarify not all of 'em are as described below:
1. ethnic chink's are selective racists, but would vehemently deny they actually are - yeah, typical hypocrites
2. malay's are latent racists - who rear their ugly heads at a mere slight, real or imagined
3. ethnic indian's worship the ground caucasians walk, only if the latter benefit them muchly - in terms of career prospects and social status
not coincidentally enough, brethrens of categories #1 and #3 display exact same characteristics the blue marble over. yes, it has got something to do with their DNA. very muchly yes. and to the malays, as long as you become one of them - ie: through conversion to islam - you are considered as an honorary member of their community.
so now you's know why i don't discuss racial matters with certain wee islanders. it's like treading on a minefield. nay, my ethnic loyalty would be called into question, more like it.
* bit of a misnomer here. those of mediterranean, hispanic and wotnot origins are categorised as "caucasian" as well. they can't really tell them apart, these wee islanders.
** complete irony here. i scored distinctions for statistics - known in its posher term, "quantitative methods" - in my university course.

look at the situation today: their own daughters are producing low-class spastic white half-breeds. what goes around comes around. but their parents were alright with it 'cos a white son-in-law is several times better than malay. or worse, indian. 'cos the darker-skinned races are not worthy to be treated similarly as themselves, the mighty yellow race. note sarcasm.
as for the Taiwan visit, actually the mainland chinese have got a point if you read today's daily rag. like a colleague had said, them Legitimate Gangsters are trying to raise LHL's profile - as well as implying that he's not to be messed about with - as almost everyone in and around the cosmoverse only knows his father.
apart from getting the cosmoverse to get his name right before he ascends the throne on august 12th.
eh, before i forget, even malays have got problems with us Peranakans also. how come? our effin' gall to claim our malay birthright, that contradicts our religious affiliation. in other words, to their wee minds, if we ain't muslim, we can't be malay.
as blahed by the letter b @ July 22, 2004 09:50 AMI think that person who told you that was uttering BS. Look at the number of local Chinese men (whom I must add are not up to local women's standards) who marry Chinese nationals. Aren't their offspring 'pure' Chinese? What she says is so crap I could puke!
Seriously, I don't have problems with 'pure' Chinese, Malays or Indians. It's just the mentality they have sometimes that makes me want to rip their little hearts out. Take for instance those effing Chinese and not to mention the way their Motherland is treating our wee isle now because of that Taiwan visit.
