God, some days I think that I, myself am the epitome of racist. I don't know why but sometimes I just invountarily start to feel a distinct sense of hostility towards certain people, NOT SAYING this about people that I know and talk to, but no-named randoms I see on the street or in shops, etcetc, at first sight. I know this is really slack and you're all thinking "don't judge others when you don't know them" etcetc, but I'm trying to highlight the fact that everybody is secretly racist to some degree, as we learnt in history in relation to Pauline Hanson and One Nation. Whatever, I'll carry on, you don't have to read this if you don't want to. Wtf, you're all going to read this anyway.

So yesterday, I got off at Eastwood station to go to Morning Glory. First of all, All of Eastwood station and the entrance to Morning Glory were blocked by a swarm of asians jabbering in an unknown dialect. Call me racist, but I find it extremely rude when people communicate voluntarily in foreign dialects in public places. The shop was so filled that I was stuck in one corner for literally 5 minutes with no way of escapeing down the isle, and while they were busily shouting/exclaiming "unyaaa this unyaa that" I tried to push myself gently through, whilst receiving several dirties and yet more "unyaas"

You know how people smile at one another when they pass eachother? Yeah well people who just glare at you and walk past without aknowledging you go automatically into my bad books. The look that some of them gave me was extremely demeaning. Ok, I'm sure that in person they are actually quite nice people, but the first impression counts a lot.

This is all really wierd of me, considering that I, myself am asian. It's funny how Pauline Hanson appeals to everyone's darker nature (refers to the article "Why Hanson Appeals To Our Darker Nature" we got in history).

This all leads to the controversial policy of assimilation. What do you all think? You can call me racist (again), but I think that while foreign community members who migrate from other countries take advantage of the relative lowness of this country's academic level and better opportunities, living conditions and quality of life for their own gain, they should also show a bit of appreciation for the life the country has provided them with.

Another thing: While I was in Perth, I noticed that it was TRULY multicultural there. Ie, I witnessed asians and white people being the best of friends, waving to eachother, going out together and just having fun together. I think there's a difference between true multiculturalism, and just segregated cultural groups who possess a sense of ignorance towards the country they live in.
