In your opinion, has enough been done to combat racism? How do you think racism can be dealt with in Singapore?
I personally feel that we need to have more initiative as the world hasn't done enough to combat racism. Statitics show that people out there in this world are still being bullied due to racism. Racism is a perception, not a problem. We can't just go out there and change what people are thinking about. Imagine me asking you what your favourite colour is, and afterwards I told you that you had to choose a different colour. It's a problem that is hard to resolve. Therefore, it has been a struggle for governments all over the world to even stop racism.
I think that racism is hard to stop. However, it is always good to try and teach the citizens of Singapore about being racist. I believe that most Singaporeans out there are racist but don't show or say it out. The government should carry out some initiatives and teach the citizens not to carry out racist activities. Also, it is to our advantage if Singapore educates children from young so when they grow up their perceptions may change. For example, it's no doubt that someone who goes to the seaside everyday would love the colour blue. It all starts in the 21 century. On top of that, Singapore is a multi-racial country. If all of us get racist, what would Singapore become of? I hope we would make a difference to the world. People out there in this world are suffering for no good reason.

I agree with what you have to say. Racism is hard to get rid of, since it is part of our very being. Something that is part of us will always be there. I feel that the example that you have used is quite good, using our favourite colour as a close example. That is good thinking on your part :P. I also think that racism is part of humanity. Racism is part of narcissism, and humans will naturally love themselves. That is like only natural. We think of ourselves as above others when we become overly narcissistic, and thus this happens. Without racism, we would not be who we truly are, and instead we would be something inhumane. We can only keep it to a minimal, and never eradicate it. Thus, I agree with the point that you have made.
