种族歧视就像一颗恶瘤，生长在体内，不停的扩散，直到末期的那一天。在全世界，有不少种族歧视的事件发生，无论是先进的国家，如美国，还是落后的国家，如非洲一些国家。这个现象从以前到现在从未间断，而且持续发生到现代的社会。很不幸的，马来西亚，一个号称多元文化的国家，也发生轻微的种族问题。从争取独立开始，公民权与特权的问题；到现在高举马来武士剑和宪法，表现出来的只是种族的紧张关系。M和C各自划出战场的防线，告诉对方“你最好别逼我，我有XXX在手”。
在同一个屋檐下，没有人能够容忍和尊重其他人的不同，眼里有的是别人的差异，心里有的是对他人的偏见，并让差异和偏见燃烧他们的脑袋，失去理智和思考。
种族歧视何时完？这是一个无解的问题。技术缩小了世界各国人民之间的距离，但种族歧视、仇外心理和其它形式的不容忍行为继续危害社会。从王明志的事件，让我意识到“种族主义”并不只是种族性政党所导致而已，还加上了一大群“种族主义”的拥护者。很遗憾的，这群拥护者竟然是普罗大众，一群平凡又贴近我们生活的人。
曼德拉２７载的囚徒生活并没能禁锢他的思想和智慧，反而使他的政治信仰和斗争目标更加坚 定，性情变得更加深沉老练，观察问题更加周全客观。曼德拉在狱中团结所有能够团结的人。他深切地认识到在南非这样一个多种族的国度里，要反对种族隔离制， 民族团结是何等重要。他还与监狱的看守建立了正常的工作关系。刚与曼德拉接触时，格列高里对关于他和其他黑人领袖的谣言深信不疑，认为曼德拉是恐怖分子。 格列高里后来说：“我那时对他们这种人仍有偏见，以为他们要杀害我们的家人，夺走我们的家园，将我们赶下海去。”然而，曼德拉的自强自尊和深沉含蓄的气质 很快就打动了他。他说：“我发现曼德拉天生就是个领袖，我开始尊敬他。”这位重要政治犯如饥似渴地学习各方面的知识，深得其他人的尊敬。尽管他一向温和， 但格列高里注意到他有一次真正发火了。一个白人看守讥笑曼德拉，说他是个浪费时间的“黑鬼”。曼德拉极其气愤，他用颤抖的声音狠狠地说：“你身上只有这一 件制服让我尊重。别以为有朝一日你的白皮肤会拯救你。”
１９９０年曼德拉获释，当时他已是７２岁高龄的老人了。出狱才半个月的曼德拉来到黑人之间暴力冲突最严重的德班。他呼吁黑人把互相残杀的刀枪扔到海里去， 加强团结，实现和平。他动情地说：“当我们一起站在一个新南非的入口处时，纳塔尔处在火焰之中。兄弟之间为复仇互相残杀。在这场争斗中，每一个家庭都失去 了亲爱的人。在我被囚禁的最后几年里，我最大的心病、最深的痛苦是听到在纳塔尔的人民中间发生的这种可怕的事情。在你们遭受痛苦的时候，我的职责是提醒你 们不要忘记今天所负的责任。如果我们不停止这场冲突，我们将处于毁掉我们斗争的可贵成果的巨大危险之中。我们将使全国的和平进程面临危险。”曼德拉的努力 最终获得了成功，他于１９９４年５月１０日宣誓就职总统。就这样，以非洲人国民大会为主导的新一届南非民族团结政府诞生了，几代人为之奋斗的崇高理想终于 实现了。 ------<新浪网>
和平能不能解决问题?曼德拉做到了!圣雄甘地也做到了!我们也能做到!

List of racial discriminations in Malaysia, practiced by government as well as government agencies. This list is an open secret. Best verified by government itself because it got the statistics.
This list is not in the order of importance, that means the first one on the list is not the most important and the last one on the list does not mean least important.
This list is a common knowledge to a lot of Malaysians, especially those non-malays (Chinese, Ibans, Kadazans, Orang Asli, Tamils, etc) who were being racially discriminated.
Figures in this list are estimates only and please take it as a guide only. Government of Malaysia has the most correct figures. Is government of Malaysia too ashamed to publish their racist acts by publishing racial statistics?
This list cover a period of about 50 years since independence (1957).
List of racial discriminations (Malaysia):
(1) Out of all the 5 major banks, only one bank is multi-racial, the rest are controlled by malays
(2) 99% of Petronas directors are malays

(36) 600000 are the Chinese and Indian Malaysians with red IC and were rejected repeatedly when applying for citizenship for 40 years. Perhaps 60% of them had already passed away due to old age. This shows racism of how easily Indonesians got their citizenship compare with the Chinese and Indians

(47) 10 times, at least, malays (especially Umno) had threatened to massacre the Chinese Malaysians using May 13 since 1969
(48) 20 constituencies won by DAP would not get funds from the government to develop. Or these Chinese majority constituencies would be the last to be developed

(54) 20 cases every year whereby Chinese drivers who accidentally knocked down malays were seriously assaulted or killed by malays
(55) 12% is what ASB/ASN got per annum while banks fixed deposit is only about 3.5% per annum
There are hundreds more racial discriminations in Malaysia to add to this list of "colossal" racism. It is hope that the victims of racism will write in to expose racism.
Malaysia government should publish statistics showing how much malays had benefited from the "special rights" of malays and at the same time tell the statistics of how much other minority races are being discriminated.
Hence, the responsibility lies in the Malaysia government itself to publish unadulterated statistics of racial discrimination.
If the Malaysia government hides the statistics above, then there must be some evil doings, immoral doings, shameful doings and sinful doings, like the Nazi, going on onto the non-malays of Malaysia.
Civilized nation, unlike evil Nazi, must publish statistics to show its treatment on its minority races. This is what Malaysia must publish……….
We are asking for the publication of the statistics showing how "implementation of special rights of malays" had inflicted colossal racial discrimination onto non-malays.
