People are people, racism is everywhere, some more than others. No one race is better than another for we are all God's children. Any race that thinks they are a "master race" is only a "pathetic race".
When subservence is taken too far, and race is of primary concern in hiring and promotion, then perhaps you have B747's airliners taking off on the wrong runway with none of the 2 very qualified First Officers having the guts to speak up or even admit latter as to proper "Cockpit Resource Management".
Also I am sure the family members of he victims of such runway incursions would agree with me that they too somehow disagree with the SIA standard operating procedure. The SIA standard operating procedure being that "SIA can do anything they want and people will still want to fly for them". Somehow, you see, I may not be the only one that doesnt feel that way.
By the way the "master" race arranged it so after the runway incursion that anyone that wanted to share thier opinion in the Singapore press or media was effectively blocked by all available means. i know I tried all the way from New York and my posting was blocked was aleged "foul language". Funny, master race, there was no foul langauge.
Also interesting, I was only in Singapore 2 months earlier and I read a Strait Times article that headlined "SIA Flying High". Ha!!!!
It was only 2 weeks after the sad World Trade Center terrorist attack here in New York that the New York Times published a article that in these difficult times "Asia's SIA carrier is fairing far better than others". Ha!!!
SIA Public relations people and the Strait Times must be working extra overtime. Perhaps, they should wear boots.
No offense, not all Chinese consider themselves the "master" race. Only a very small minority and they not be painted with the same brush. For the most part, they are just like the rest of us, with hearts.
