the future? i don't know what it is.
Tonight I talked about various things. I talked about what my future would be like, would the future generation’s knowledge of their cultural generation would be like. I have always, always felt sorry for those people that have little or no understanding of their cultural background. I am in fact very aware of this situation because a number of my friends fit in this category.
The type I feel most sorry for and show a general disliking to is the type which deny their cultural background. Yes, I am Chinese. Yes, I am Australian. But let the truth be known, the Englishmen of this country will never fully accept you as an Australian. To them, you are the Chinese person, the foreigner. I feel sorry for these people because when they go out into the real world away from school, reality will hit them hard.
Maybe I should use this certain person as an example. She’s in my class and she never says she is Chinese. Every one else in our class would say they are Chinese because yes, like I said before more than 90% of our school is Asian. My class last year is a perfect example of what I mean. Let me think a moment. The entire class was Asian. *laughs* 3 people weren’t full Chinese. This is what I mean.
Everyone always says, I am Chinese but no, she says, “I am Australian.” Well, derrrrrr. We’re all Australians, don’t be a dill. She doesn’t understand. But sometimes you have to look at where you came from. What her parents taught her is really “Westernised”. She went to a school with nearly no Asians. That is admittedly very different from where most of my classmates came from.
I am no exception. My school was more than 70% Chinese people. Maybe 85% Asian. I tell, we were the only school in the district with this many Asians but we also had the best facilities. I went to other schools before for sports, etc and I was really shocked. I’m like, if our school toilets are crap, what is this? It was really shocking.
But yes, those people are really sad. I feel sad for them and because they like people which are “鬼佬”. They don’t really like us. In turn, we are similar. It’s not like we aren’t friends, etc but it’s different. They are they, we are we. This ended up really long.
But now onto what I really wanted to say. XD Oh dear. I’m writing this in Word at the moment and before I started this sentence I had 419 words. Oh my. *laughs* I need music because yes, it’s an essential so I clicked recommended videos on my Youtube account. I clicked MarBell despite previously listening to them and not have a feel for them. It was also the same performance in which I listened/watched again. I have these whims sometimes.
The vocalist Mar is half Japanese, half American and it reminds me of the situation some of us have. Yes, we aren’t like exactly like her but it’s similar and I know people like that. Sometimes I still wonder about that person. It’s kind of like “Do I become associated with white people or do I become associated with Asian people?” Most of the time, people go for Asians.
But then again, it’s easier for people of mixed races. If you know both languages, life is so much easier. That’s why I feel sorry for the people like my friends. People like “that” girl are doomed for life. When she goes out into reality, I can’t see how she could possible deal with the rejection. I really feel sorry for these people.
That’s why if your parents tell you to learn something, learn it!! I show no regrets in doing anything of this sort because I strongly believe in passing on your heritage. It gives you more choices. It also reminds me of the time I went on an excursion and talked with this Canadian tour guide. It was quite…intriguing. To see their point of view and what they think when they’ve seen through our eyes.
He said to me, “Why do you like this language? Why do they learn it?”
My first thought is obviously because of my background and heritage. The second thought, money. XD He laughed too at that. Probably all we think about is money but it’s true. To live in this world where are people are pressed down like this, knowing both languages is essential. This is taking into account that many countries especially Australia have dealings with China. This is very good.
Another thing I really had to say is that all my friends and I believe that one day China will become the most powerful country in the world. Become even more powerful and influential than the USA. I know, dream on Wendy. My patriotic friend strongly believes them. I guess I believe that too.
This is random too but my NORTON security is about to expire AGAIN. What the hell?
I just wrote an essay type blog didn’t I? I’m crazy but then again, if you’re not crazy, you can’t be happy. J I said this to Shin once and he laughed. Then again, I laughed too. Haha.
Crazy is good. Now that reminds me of peaple and that makes me laugh. Oh my. I have to go out tomorrow. I should try to do more Maths too. I swear my brain is more flexible now!! I tried to work out a question. Miracles are happening!!
Once again, I feel sorry for those people and I feel sorry for myself too. Acceptance was never easy but it just got harder.
