Introduction on " racial slurs should be illegal" .
Since the last century, it is prominent that prejudice has been rampant, or at the very least, racial prejudice. Big differentiations between the whites and the blacks ; separating them forcefully, treating them differently, segregation relied on skin colour alone. It was very common in the past, but has been pacified over the turn of a new century. Nowadays, despite the constant efforts of changing into a multi-racial country, many citizens still shoot racial slurs at others. I think that racial slurs should be put to a very abrupt end immediately and laws should attain control and self-discipline in the citizens, by force or without.
Reflection :
Yes I have been a bystander of racial slurs during my primary school. Whereby a fight between the Malays and the Indians broke out. They were shouting out the opposition's skin colour; the Malays called the Indians black while the Indians called the Malays brown. It resulted in a fierce ferocious fight in the soccer field, and no one stepped in to mediate. My friends and I just stood by the side of the school soccer field and observed the fights in agony. I felt very uneasy due to the constant shouting of skin colour and shrill cries of pain resounded. It was a terrible fight. Although I did not know who spurred up this raging racial war, but I think it is essential for a multi-racial country. During the fight, I went back to the hall to report for prefect duty but the thoughts of a bloodshed fight haunted me. That was the first time I had heard racial slurs, and had a very bad experience of it.
