US Election

It looks like Barack Obama is set to win the Nov. 4th election. How interesting, a person from the minority group becomes the president. America is really a land of hope and dreams.

That race is not a big consideration in the choice of president is a big plus for meritocracy. It shows that integration in US is more thorough. Race is not the top consideration in their daily life. This is also perceptible from the reality shows. Generally, they don't practise racial discrimination. The whites treat the blacks as equals even though the latter are subtly more cunning and devious.

Compare them to us, we are far far behind. Everything is done based on racial consideration. From the government policies to the local authorities, every action is carried out with a racial overtone. Worst still, because of majority control, racial discrimiantion is prevalent in policy implementation.

Even politic is played based on race. You have political parties based on race and fighting for the rights of their particular race. Verbal contests on each race's rights are often aired. The people's feelings are aroused. They become racial and think along racial lines. And this perpetuates .....
