Britons bullying elderly Singaporean trishaw rider


The recent incident of Britons bullying the elderly Singaporean trishaw rider have caused a furore in the local populace .

http://newpaper.asia1.com.sg/news/story/0,4136,146519,00.html?

This incident drew strong acrimonious reactions from the net community , I am no exception . One thing that was also brought to my attention was the insults directed at caucasians . The 3 Brits also deny any case of bullying and remains impenitent and these further exacerbate the problem .

Are these actions exemplary of the presumably inherent white superiority mindset of the caucasians ?

Yes, these are the exemplary actions of those who see themselves(whites) as superious. Recall the lesson on racism during Culture. I pointed out that it was the whites who started giving names to us non whites/coloured. They were the one who brought up savagers and all that. Read: Noble Savages. Even after antrophologist 'banned' the word savangers and colonisers, whites still see their rights to us, hence the treatment. Immature, I say to them. Luqman Haqim
