Are we patriotic malaysians?

Dear friends i always wanted ask people how patriotic are malaysians? Well my answer to that question will be..... not so.... and WHY is that? Then comes the long story. I would like to believe that the actual cause of this fact is the englishmen who separated and ruled us for their own benefit which generated the thought that we dont belong here and the other race is always a threat to the other one.Hmmm is this true? Well maybe or maybe not.Anyway some of u will b e thinking why am i talking about all these when my question was about how patriotic are we, well of course rule number to be patriotic is to be united. So what do we do today to change these phenomena that have been haunting us for more than 50 years.I would like to look at the minor parts first,if u realise our official forms are the only (maybe) one with the word race...if u show this forms or application to a foreigner they dont even know how to answer to that word well lets look at definition of the the term race or racial group usually refers to the concept of dividing humans into populations or groups on the basis of various sets of characteristics.[1] The most widely used human racial categories are based on visible traits (especially skin color, cranial or facial features and hair texture), and self-identification. I understand the term race is for dividing the community into several groups we dont need this anymore, arent we malaysians with different religion.This is the most basic thing we have to look .All of us wants to be a malaysian dont divide us apart....WHY are there still bangsa kelas 1,2,3 and others....how would be able to answer a kid who is sitting for UPSR examination when his/her UPSR form have stated the word bangsa and then it must be filled with a number.Without we realising the unity is growing apart since young.When we meet with a an european and do an introduction we say for instants im a chinese/indian malaysian whereby the european will adress himself as im a norwegian. So friends what is ur opinion are we united to be patriotic? Lets look at it in another way im sure some of us are very familiar with world cup football,eurocup or even cricket, the participating nation's supporters fight ,cry and their so patriotic to their national team and we know these but the same thing doesnt happen here, for instance when msian team goes for olympic and other international tournament we dont even bother unless they win it and then we talk about it.....How many of us are planning to put up jalur gemilang during the month of august? Are we patriotic malaysians?
