Don't you think it's strange When the countries claim to support Multiculturalism and diversity But so on people go on to say The food you eat is gross It's fine, no need to say it If they offer you some, then simply reject it What happened to acceptance and tolerance When all they seems to compensate for are Western food, do you not feel this way? There are plenty more; The cloth you wear is strange, let them be hijab, burka and so many more The religion you follow is weird, let them be Sikhs, Jains and so many more I don't like your ethnicity, let them be Chinese, Muslim and so many more I don't like your gender identity, let them be female, transgender and so many more I don't like your ****** identiy, let them be gay, lesbian and so many more We are the minority and always under-represented within majority Feeling like stifled, palms sweaty as we know we have target behind out back Identity we have and must continue to protect For that's what makes who we are But to which standard are we conforming to? To which standard are we assimilating to? (why don't you fill in the blank, as plenty people knows, western rules and the majority are cruel) They said we had free will, a human right from democracy But societal pressure comes and claim the right to express culturally So I ever so hate the country and the people For all the promises seem to turn out to be broken People cry out for them to go back to their original countries when they have just like others, earned their right to stay when they have no place to go back to, only in their head
