Oh, honestly. I find it so ironic that there are some people in this country who have xenophobic tendencies, who have enough of this country and its ways, see migrating as an option - to greener pastures.
I find it laughable how some people like to paint such a degrading picture of this country while projecting other countries to be utopia. Just like how these "true-blue countrymen" treat foreigners, I would like to see how they are treated in a foreign country. Sure, the government over there may welcome them, but do they even think they would be welcome with open arms by the locals? In their eyes, the migrants are there to steal their jobs and opportunities as well. Would they think racism is dead over there?
After years of studying how multi-cultural and racial harmonious this country is, it must have come as a shock to discover such blatant acts of racism and xenophobic mindsets. If their grandparents or great grandparents were to be around, what would they think?
Sometimes, the way some of my fellow countrymen behave makes me questioned whether they even see the bigger picture. There is such a phrase, "Do unto others as you would have others do unto you". They hate foreigners in this country and want them out. Sure, are they willing to give up their relatively comfortable lives and cheap commodities though?
"The developed world will always need a developing world". That's why there cannot be equality. If the developed world wants to enjoy cheap goods and services, eat meat three times a day and embrace material comforts, then there must be a developing world to support it. Where else can we get the land and manpower for the things we enjoy?
