a friend of mine was talking bout racism (we're singaporeans man. it's like a boiling pot here. like NY city, get over it) and then he showed me a blog by this girl called xiaxue. i gathered she's famous. i can guess why. but she's so bimbotic. i shouldnt bother, but i feel like frodo, going against the odds of the blog reading singaporean community with only Stinger while str guys all around succumb to her sauron-like, pervading stupidity. ("why can't i use toilets for handicaps? take a number cripple sir, your toilet's more spacious")

her post was on foreign workers molesting girls in orchard road. i don't know if they did. if they did, i encourage her to report them to the police. hmm but she didnt. shrug. anyway, here's what she posted.

Modelling agencies do not employ the ugly (superifical); Mensa does not welcome people with low IQ (elitism), Platinum card owners do not allow the poor to join their ranks (elitism), SIA does not employ short girls (don't know what this is called) but Ikea alone is wrong in not employing blacks in France to do deliveries?

Is it really ok to discriminate these other things and not race?

Food for thought.

Race is just one more thing we pass judgements on, and it is natural to like or dislike certain races more, based on a board generalisation of what you think of each race. You certainly cannot help it.

er.. yes you can.

lol. what a gem huh? you guys get what she's saying? i'll translate. "I'm too ugly to model, too stupid to join mensa, too poor to have a platinum card, and too short to join SIA. if i get discriminated like that, why can't i discriminate against race? think about it" hahah! she's funny.

Firstly honey, those arn't discrimination anyway. but are meritocratic meaning anyone can get them if they try hard enough. but race! or gender and sexuality for that matter is another matter altogether... cause you cant really change those can you? you can't change those, you're just born with it (er, no, michael, you dont count) so it's just wrong to put someone down or "pass judgments" because of it.

someone throw her into mount doom before she torches the shire.
