Racism here in Singapore

Racism exists everywhere and I believe that there is no way racism would ever disappear. There is bound to be racial inequality no matter what place, what time. Even at a playground, or on a bus, or at an convention, there are people who discriminate other races, it is just whether they display it physically or just mentally.

On the bus especially, there are seats where 2 people sit together. Sometimes, I witness that just because a person is not of the same skin colour as us, they do not sit together. I am not sure whether the same happens in other countries, but I think a high chance it is, and Singapore is no exception.

On the whole, though we cannot eliminate racism, we can however, try to minimize it as far as possible so that the community and society would be fair to those who are presently racial discriminated.

I agree with your point and I believe this is currently happening in Singapore too. For as long as mankind lives, I do not think taht racial discrimination will be thoroughly removed from our minds.

Eradication racial discrimination from this earth is obviously impossible, I agree on your point that we should minimize it as far as possible by not being racist yourself, I think if we minimise it as much as possible, the whole community can be a better place for everyone to live in although just that little bit of discrimination is minimized
