Sarawak has always been a place where you can see people regardless of their races sit together for a sip of teh tarik peng(iced). Go anywhere and you will never find a kopitiam where people will just greet other people in their native language then effortlessly changing their language back to the one they used before(only in Sarawak). I would know as it happened a lot. Not to stir up anything, Sarawakians seem to be able to adapt to every language according to the places. We speak with Sabah slang when in Sabah and Bahasa Melayu Baku when over at Semenanjung. However the same cannot be said of our counterpart from those places. Not everyone though, some of my friends have been talking bahasa melayu sarawak or even bahasa iban better than some of us here. I'm simply writing this to show that we Sarawakians are not that rascist as some of you would like to think and that racial harmony has been very alive and kicking even before the concept of 1Malaysia was conceived.
(Pardon me for my bad english.lol)
