Sometime back, some ang mo criticise some sg blogger for being a racist for calling ang mo ang mos. I may jus be criticised for this entry as well...

Anyway, he pointed out that identifying a race by physical traits is racism. So ang mo, whites, blacks, yellow are all racist terms.

I beg to differ. Skin color is part of us. If my skin color is yellow, and pp call me yellow, it's nothing. Unless they say say it in a derisive tone or they append some insulting words to it. I know there are pp who refer to malays as pigs. Now, that is racism, and that is rude, and that is wrong. Statements like Indians are stingy, chinese are selfish, are racism.

Are pp ashamed of their skin color? If they are not, why do they take offence in pp referring to it?

There are always campaign to stop racism. Unless everyone accepts their own skin color and is able to joke abt it, racism will still be there. Stopping pp from mentioning it not the way.
