Call the kettle black

I have a mixed feeling today after reading some articles on the local newspaper and watching some american performances on tv.

I can't help but noticed more and more american dramas nowadays especially involving the teenagers depicting a colourful image of the country itself. For instance the musical drama series, GLEE. The casts consist of many backgrounds; white, black, hispanic, asian, you name it. It makes me feel proud seeing my own decent is actually being recognized somewhere that long time ago being described as racist. Probably people are moving forward, putting skin colour behind, instead, focusing on tolerance and healthy growing among our kids who are the coming generation, and also who are going to mould the world.

Sadly, when I read the local newspaper nowadays, I find alot of racial issues prop up and its getting uncontrollable like a cancerous tumour spreading the whole region. It feels so much ashame that we have been accusing the west for being racist but instead, the racist lives just within ourselves. In the east peninsular for instance, ladies wearing sleeves shorter than the elbow will be fined. I mean, what the heck. The freedom of using certain language in a religion is prohibited and so on so forth. If these people who have so little in faith, no matter what language other religions are using, this will not play any effect. Why others have to be sacrificed just because you have a poorer in sight and lack of faith in your religion. I mean, it all doesn't make sense to me.

Controlling how others should live by your rules merely by using the excuse of religion is utterly absurd. And it is even worse when we are in a democratic society but not really practising one. It's a mere hypocrite. Telling the kettle black, and it's getting worse now. We are moving so backward. Very much and it's saddening. It happens not only on the newspaper, even the vibe is reaching my vicinity. It feels awkward but again, I don't care.
