      I think you need to get your facts first!!
      Who started this derogatory insults! Tamils or Singhalese?
      For intellectual discourse I suggest you check history.
      Go ask your parents and grand parent what the issue with PARA THEMALA & Kalla Thoni! & preach to the Hasgiriya/ Kelaniya temple & Maha Sangaratne about racism!!
      Without knowing history try not to step out to preach.
      Let me give you my 2 cents of what happen from 1954 to 1977 not to include the riots in 1958 & 1977 & burning of the Jaffna Library.
      Remember this: Sinhala only policy & followed by the introduction to the letter SRI was the 2 initial oppression against the Tamils in 1956.
      Rejecting and abandoning the Devolution of power by SWRD and SJV [Bandaranaike-Chelvanayakam Pact] under the pretense of Sinhala Buddhist nationalist ideology.
      1958 Riots -looting, killing and burning of Tamils across the Island
      Finally you are a product from this mad ideology, and you can now see the price the majority is facing in this pandemic run by buffoons! are you happy now with their performance?
      Unless you free from this Buddhist nationalist ideology & the cult of ignorance, its a matter of time. Like the Titanic!
      Although LTTE fought a bitter conflict! they never created a derogatory term/phrase against the Singhalese!
      I challenge you!! If you did hear any, state it here, and I will apologies for it here.
      6.9 million elected a set of mad men to run this Island. It is in shambles and going to hell in a hand basket.
      There is no animosity against you here guy! but I wanted to share the fact that happened in 65 years.
      We are all humans until
      Race segregated us,
      Religion separated us,
      Politics divided us
      wealth classified us. Peace out!

    This was the missing link at the time to lead the country, as executive president. Sadly he was lost, and thugs took over Sri Lankan politics and leadership. Now we all know, what it is today, 2021, after 20 years. Current leadership and politicians have gone so behind its standards, almost to the cave era, tribalism, jungle rule, beliefs of mythical healing powers and bandit gods....🤔🤔🤔🤔
