Criticizing an incident Vs a community Vs an ideology

It is quite common to find that some isolated mistakes done by some individuals of a particular community are attributed to the whole of that particular community.

What makes me even worried is that those who do this, are deliberate,desperate and doing it systematically. They just talk to some individuals of a particular community on the street, and video some mistakes committed by them and propagate it to such an extent, that audience feel only that particular community is doing such things. The propoganda keeps going on for a prolonged period, so that everyone starts to forget the simple fact that the same mistakes are made by other communities too.


With all the ethnic problems and decades of war, still unfortunately people haven't learned to respect the diversity and accept reality. I don't see why some people, who are in top levels, spread such enmity among communities. What's the motive and what's the point? Especially media people have a big responsibility in this regards.

Why don't we promote being good Sri Lankans, respecting each other's culture and belief, and live happily together in harmony.

I sincerely intend to write a lot on this issue, when I find some free time

See you.
