I is a blind XX-hater, so said a commenter on BM’s post. Yup, I blindly hate her racist words. I blindly cannot see the real meaning behind her hateful words. I is blind mah? How am I suppose to see her point? Blind cannot see what. 
*ahem*
Let me do a quick guide to avoid being called a racist. There’s a stark difference between:
- “All Bangladeshis are molesters.”
- “I encountered a few Bangladeshis on Orchard Rd during NYE who molested me.”
and …
See the difference?
But since I apparently cannot make an objective argument on this matter because I is a blind XX-hater, I shall just let other bloggers do it (Actually I’m on holiday and I’m just lazy. ):
XX like all of us are allowed mistakes but a consistent pattern of behaviour shows her true colours. And if you want to argue with me here, please base your arguments on her words. Don’t trot out the lame-old attacks on me being jealous or wanting the hits or the fame.

Logically speaking lah… Some commenters on other related blogs said the molester could have gotten away after the girl regain sight. Now, most people had been to such major celebration and fact is, it can be so crowded to the extend that it makes walking difficult. So, how was it even possible for the molester to get away with it?
For example, let’s say somebody grabbed my butt from behind in a massive crowd. If I turn around immediately, where else can he run to when the crowd is so jam packed? And isn’t it obvious if he tries to shove himself away from you?
And let’s say I got sprayed in my face and somebody grabbed my boobies. To grab a girl’s boobies, your act will be of clearer visible level, which means, most likely to be seen by others close enough. And plus if the girl was being targetted by foam spray, surely someone will look to her direction cos’ kena spray on the face is not some minor tiny whiny action, plus the spray do create that psssst sound. Anyone near enough would have notice who did the spraying and who kena the spray.
What talking me… I also dunno how to phrase it. yawn… I go take a nap…
aiyah I saw your most excellent post via Bloglines before you deleted it.
Good leh – why not publish?
But your point here comes through loudly and clearly.
what surprises me is how xx still had so many supportive comments on that post, despite what i saw as overt racism. for a moment i wondered if i was being overly sensitive to the political correctness of the day, but then again, no, she made some blatantly foolish comments that just might get her in trouble if she’s not careful.
I didn’t delete the entry, I put it on draft cos’ I was making that little banner… hehe
the screwy skeptic: I had the same feeling about being too political-correct but as I’ve pointed out, there is over-generalisation, and then there’s specific details relevant to a specific incident.
darkharf: ah I see. Well may it become an even better post when it comes out of draft mode.
I didn’t change any single word in the post. It still is per-original as when you first read it. Just added a little bitchy statement below the post and a banner… hehe…
darkharf: woohoo and I still love it!
Well written entries Darkharf and Mooiness
