Transition Zone: culture-nots.

Attended my first lesson of trans-cultural and i had my first experience of a gripping sense of righteousness. Damn right. The blacks have been oppressed for eons and the stigma they shoulder remains undiminished. When would they be able to become an intergrated part of white society? Then comes another pressing question. Why must they be part of that society? The truth is that the blacks have set up their own area, which in many movies that i have watched are called the ghettos, which really isn't very flattering. However, these hard- working people, whose dilligence goes back as far as their en-slaved ancestors, hardly get any recognition at all. These non-white people try their best and although i'm sure the whites have tried to assimilate and accept them, there are still certain forms of prejudice that remain. Life doesn't get any better. Yet, sometimes these prejudices aren't what we want in the first place. They come almost naturally, observed through sight and sounds. Being Asian, somehow i might not be right to comment about these kinds of issues which could be a tad bit touchy, yet, everyone has a right don't they?

Australians are relatively friendly where some are really nice, coming up to you to say hi and all. Yet, some are generally nasty, where i had an experience of getting punched by an elderly lady, though my mom believes that that's purely accidental. Take things with a pinch of salt, or so that's what she says. Race is a touchy subject where even if i refuse to touch it with a 5 foot pole (coated from JESUS in South Park) other people would have much to say. For now, life has been good, no mugging, no getting beaten up in the middle of the road... hope all well ends well...
