Xenophobia (n)- Means fear and contempt of foreigners or strangers
Xenophobe (n)- A person unduly fearful or contemptuous of that which is foreign, especially of strangers or foreigners.
Well, the government has conviniently labelled the current condition as an exacerbation of xenophobia.
Its quite easy to simplify a pressing issue so that one could delay dealing with it.When Putin came into office a few years back, he made a pledge to the International community--"I will see to it that racial problems and descrimination is under control,"
If we were to accept the definition of xenophobia as above, then i don't see fear in the eyes of the punks who torment foreigners, infact i think its just an excuse to do what they do without being convicted.
According to the leaflets and books that are being distributed by the SKINHEADS ASSOCIATION, the Aryans are the supreme race...well...then...to see the definition of Aryans would require some knowledge of history...and the last time i checked, Russian punks aren't Aryans...*sigh*
In today's Russia, the only problem youngsters are having with foreigners in their country is "Russia is for Russians, you filthy foreigners shouldn't be stealing our resources and wealth (students and businessmen),"
This then indicates a bigger problem- Poverty and lack of employment.
The pay in this country is painfully meager, a freshly graduated medical student i.e Doctor, earns 100USD a month, that not enough to even last 2 weeks!!!
The cost of living in Moscow is getting higher, and when these people see foreigners doing well they are angered-to them their government should be helping them and not the outsiders who are thieves!...
But as Russia practices Democratic Dictatorship, the people dare not question the government but instead do the next best thing- eliminate competition!!!
Smart Move!...
Well...this then brings us back to our 3day shut down or our 5day weekend...so Azie has gone to the country side and Syu flew to london yesterday morning...so currently i'm taking refuge with Pisa (reena) and ChickenWingMan...
We were suppose to play monopoly but they FFK-ed me, and i'm hoping they'd agree to it by noon...
CJ came over last night to spend sometime with us and tonight we're suppose to go over to her place for dinner...
she made a huge mistake:
"what you want for dinner ah Vv?"
"...emperor chicken!!!" (thinking she didn't have the spices....muahahaha)
"ok done...so see you at dinner ok...ahh...you thought i can't make it right???!!" (she really caught on fast!!)
So, looks like my 5day weekend's going to be filled with glorious food and monopoly...me thinks at training on Monday i won't be able to run...hmm...
P/s: Holidays like this are much deserved but very much a waste of time...oh yes we have a perfect venue for our graduation!
pp/s: Reena's getting perverted and has really put in a lot of effort perfecting the art of perversiveness "mui mui ah, ko ko tai lei hoi kum yue" and "mui ah, lei chow kong ah!"
I think i need help...or maybe she needs help...HELP!!!
