Racial Harmony

I feel that racial harmony in Singapore is based on understanding and tolerance. However, there are still a small portion of people putting up a façade. I think that some people just sweep the racial issues under the “carpet” and if they were to unveil it, it might cause a major uproar in Singapore. However, I believe that racial harmony is based on understanding and tolerance. If there is no understanding, there would not be tolerance. For example, some Indians do put a certain fragrance on them which might be unbearable for some races. However, the other races tolerated it based on understanding of their religion and culture. Some discriminate other races based on their skin color, follow the norm of the society or even when one of them made a mistake like terrorism , they deemed the whole entire innocent ethnic wrong. In order to have peace in a country, one must be tolerant, understanding and see the good in people, rather than judge a person by his or her skin color.
