Blog Pencemar Budaya
the other day i was in the elevator on the way up to my place. at the 3rd floor, a Malay kid walked in, and as he was walking into the elevator, i was unwrapping my last stick of gum and popping it in my mouth. so this kid says, “eh. nak satu. bagi!” (hey, i want one. gimme.) mildly shocked at his rudeness, i said that the one i just ate was my last, sorry that there’s no more to give to him. after that, he didnt say anything.
but then when i reached my floor, the fucker gave me the finger as i was exiting the elevator, and said, “babi orang cina, apa benda pun tak mau kasi orang melayu. baik jangan masuk negara orang melayu!” (chinese pig who doesnt want to share with malays, you shouldnt come live in a malay country)
oversensitive much? i got another story.
if you come to this blog regularly (or read the below post), you’d know that my site got hacked into a couple of days ago and was replaced by some political website with Jawi writing and stuff. some bloggers linked my blog in their posts about the sudden spate of hacked sites, and since this was after quaintly.net was revived, i got a number of new visitors who never saw the arabic website that wiped mine out over the weekend.
one of those new visitors is this utter fool who started a thread on a local forum, saying my blog was ‘kurang ajar’ cos i posted :
“if one more person texts me to say ‘assalamualaikum’, i swear i’m going to bitchsmack that person in the face.”
so this fool, he’s malay, and he’s insulted because i said i wanted to smack the next person who texts me this islamic greeting.
this idiot, he has no idea that my blog was hacked into, has completely no idea that it was replaced with an arabic website, and is totally clueless about the fact that i was inundated with ‘assalamualaikums’ on my mobile and MSN and email by my cheekier friends when i woke up on Sunday morning. so this fucker, being completely oversensitive and jumping to conclusions, started that dumb thread, plainly assuming that the sole reason i said that was because i was being racist. as a malay, he said he was “tak puas hati”.
(oh what else is new)
the even more incredulous part was that people responded to his thread saying things like, “she’s crazy” and “and it’s not even a melayu blog”. SO? you’re trying to tell me that if i were Malay and just so happened to insult the entire malay race on my blog, it’s completely fucking okay because i’m Malay?!?! THAT opinion of yours, bitches, is more racist and more STUPID than anything i could ever muster up with all my strength to say.
so, the point being, this thread-starter just waltzed into my blog from goodness knows where, saw ‘assalamualaikum’ on first glance, and proceeded to go bazookers because, oh you know, it’s an islam word on a non-islam blog, nevermind the context, it’s DEFINITELY a racist comment! so he becomes “tak puas”, starts a thread about it, and rallies for people to go against me.
… when i wasnt even being racist in the first place.
shit, i dont think i’ve EVER even been racist in my entire life.
this is so insanely oversensitive that i dont know whether to laugh and say, ’so the world is right’, or to be completely appalled and laugh and say ‘oh so the world is right’.
