Thoughts of a Rodent

While procrastinating the whole day in the wonderful highly rated in Germany - University of Konstanz Bibliothek trying to study intensively but somehow keep on being distracted, probably due to the presence of the laptop, I came across this video in youtube.

However, I don't feel like embedding the video here. Haha it's a little inappropriate for my blog.

Go to youtube, and type "Negarakuku". Listen to it, you will recognise what original tune it is used from. I must say that I salute the writer of this song. I salute his bravery to voice out the concerns of us as a minority in a country we see it as home, but still treated somehow like immigrants. The lyrics are humorous and satirical, you will have a good laugh but it gets you into thinking too. The singer is in a way teaching us to look positively while being at the same time very sarcastic. I like it. Haha...

What I don't like about the song is, however, that the original tune that is being used. It does not show respect to the beloved nation, and the lyrics do not show respect to the customs and religion of the people concerned. Although sometimes I do agree with what he said in the lyrics but one must realize that those are stereotypes. No matter how hateful they are towards us, and how unhappy we are towards them, respect is still respect. Racial harmony is not just about tolerance, but its more about mutual respect. It is the continual distrust and disrespect towards each other that grows respectively within each community that is leading to the current situation - that religion and race are extremely sensitive issues to be discussed in this country. (This actually also refers to another country. It's the same case. The only difference is that we are minorities, while you are majorities.)

It seems I am getting too far. And please don't get offended by my words. Those are just my thoughts and opinion.
