Our school's multicultural week is pathetic. In fact, many multicultural events I have attended were all pathetic. Pathetic on the scale of nearing trash. This year's was particularly trash. To begin with, we have to pay for food with tickets, which are substituted in the place of money. Exactly what is the point of that? I don't see anything wrong with paying with money. In addition to this massive embodiment of idiocy, the multicultural week isn't really all that multicultural. Multicultural events are supposed to exhibit a wide variety of activities, according to the different cultures presented. A Chinese event would display fireworks and lanterns, as well as showcase traditional Chinese cuisine. A French event would display fencing and showcase some cold snails in a shell for your palette. And of course, an American event would display a range of overweight objects; giant trucks, giant food, -- giant people--, etc.
What does our school have? Food. Food from where? Fremont. Made by who? Cheap mock-up Chinese, Indian, French and Spanish restaurants. The so called "Spanish" food comes from Chipotle, which, evidently, is American. It's quite obvious with the giant serving sizes.
But what angered me the most was the fact that people were praying before eating, with their mock-up multicultural meals in front of them. Don't believe me? Walk around school this week, you'll find a collection of praying idiots hiding in the cafeteria, and other places. Praying? Really? We live in the 21st Century. It should have became evident 100 years ago that praying doesn't work. It is an awful waste of time spending hours a month on your knees praying to some nonexistent spook.
Before you say "respect other people's opinions", I urge you to think about all of the chaos caused by this fake construct of our mind, religion. KKK, Al-Qaeda, terrorists, war-- all of these have one thing in common. They all came to pass upon the foundation of religious purpose. So no, I don't have to respect your opinion or your religion. I don't have to respect your faith.
"Faith is the great cop-out, the great excuse to evade the need to think and evaluate evidence."
-Richard Dawkins
What does this have to do with multicultural week though? Religion claims to bring cultures together. Does it? Read the Bible. The Bible is unbelievably racist. Read other religious texts. They are unbelievably racist. Look at the majority of Catholics. They're white. The majority of Buddhists are Asian. The majority of Hindus are Indian.
But the majority of atheists? The majority of atheists are not of any culture. So the most multicultural religion is Atheism. Thank you.
