Lawful Discrimination
While I was visiting my country's embassy's restaurant the other day, it displays an offer of free food... but only for the Muslim students. While my family friend was shocked at this display, I'm rather used to it. This is how we live, as second-class citizens, even when our ancestors have fought alongside everyone else in the bid for our independence. We don't like it, but we can't question it. Their supremacy cannot be questioned, or we'll be slaughtered, all over again. Perhaps one day, when we have all flown the coop, perhaps then they'll realise that as long as they handicap themselves, they are the ones who'll always be second-class, because this is life. No shortcut ever comes without a price, and currently, their perceived superiority comes at the cost of our long-term economy and social stability. Maybe one day they'll have all they want, and suddenly find out that it's not rad at all.
