Trust needs to be rebuilt among the races

May 22, 2020 Letters

Dear Editor

In a multiracial society, it is expected that people of different race and religion would gravitate in some way towards a group or mindset that appeals to them. Awareness of differences between people is unavoidable but opinions of race are formed through perception based on factual experiences that result in racial stereotyping and mistrust clearly evident in the Guyanese society.
We have seen letters in the press where people express their opinions based on perception of racial profiling as in the case of Akola Thompson and her experience at Kissoon’s Furniture Store. Yet, without any concrete evidence, others of similar race seize the opportunity to perpetuate this situation for political ends.
I will not dwell on the extremists whose racial preference is spewed on a daily basis, which is their fundamental right, but as one writer succinctly puts it, they are nationalistic frauds and cannot be rehabilitated to even accept that 33 is the majority of 65.
We need to build back trust among the races and return to normalcy through a fair and credible process that ensures whoever gets the majority will form the new government
Yours truly,
D. Singh
