Why must be racist?

I don't get it still, why does this certain ppl want workers to speak mandarin when the country itself don't speak Chinese always. Called this clinic that needed clinic asst. but then when i say i want to enquire about the job, she was like, "Are U a Chinese?", then I say, "No.", then she say, "Sorry, the doctor prefer Chinese." And when she say that, she was being so arrogant and all. Is it the doctor or her who prefer Chinese? Why is it so unfair for us non-Chinese or non-Chinese speaking community have to suffer? Anyway, this country's national laguage is not Mandarin, its English. Stop making Mandarin Speaking Campaign when English itself is a national language, we still got to improve on that. I am not a racist but I am a victim of it. They say opening a casino is for creating jobs for the umemployed but do they think about we, Malay Muslims, who don't get the advantage, it is unfair enough that they want Chinese speaking or Chinese ppl to work, but then how about us? At least be reasonable if when U need a Chinese speaking or Chinese workers not like it's when U don't have a Chinese or Chinese speaking lady as a worker already. And Singapore is stressing about not being racial prejudice, and being equality and have Racial Harmony day? What is the point of all that if things like this is so unfair? Might as well put all Mother Tounge languages as Mandarin then, rite? Why do Singapore have to waste all that money to built 2 casinos when the tsunamis victims are still in need and some students(esp the non-Chinese) have financial problems? Actually if U really want a casino, it is okay to have 1 and only in Sentosa, but then now there is 2. There goes the lower crime rates. More loansharks will earn but then peace will slowly decrease. U will see more writings or vandalism on the walls or door, more stabbing or God knows, murder. This is all because of money. Why can't they use it for ALL the PEOPLE OF SINGAPORE benefit or something? Like produce more research labs to cure for AIDS or other diseases(Please think of SINAPOREANS and not mostly foreign talent), more schools for children to study and etc. Anyway the rules of us Diploma holders already in a certain course is not even able to get into NTU or NUS of related courses, why?, because they let the "clever" ones get into it. Isnt it a waste when that "clever " one can't cope that course and drop halfway because they don't have a basic foundation? Isn't it wasted that a person already possessing the basics of the related course in NTU/NUS but have to fly overseas to get degrees/PhD because no space for them in NTU/NUS? So Singapore talents most go to other countries becoming foreign talent and here, foreigners become the foreign talent. Wazzup with all this fuss?Get the idea? We need more Universities for us(SINGAPOREANS) to get a good job, not casinos!!! And stop acting as though there is no racial prejudice happening in Singapore. Sigh~ Sometimes it is sad that when U open the RECRUIT pg in Straits Times, U can't have a single job all because U can't speak Mandarin, and worse being said to the face that they prefer Chinese. Which doctor on earth don't know how to speak English? They are like Phd rite? Then how do they talk to their non-Chinese patients? Isn't this racist? What did we do to deserve this? (-.-)

My sentiments exactly! I totally agree with the whole preference for Mandarin-speakers.It is so annoying and frustrating! So much for meritocracy and racial harmony. Bleh...
