ok I kinda realised this after some time and I choose to talk about it now since @skeletonjacket kinda inspired me to hehe . Idk but i find this fucking weird. Im studying in a med school together with Sri Lankans. (tamils from SL and the sinhalese students) My experience- https://twitter.com/urmomisasundal/status/1285721257141506053

with them is abit...off? So I am the kinda person who’s interested in learning someone’s culture and especially if they’re from a different country and I love politics. So I was really curious about how Sri Lanka is and I did a quick google-search about the nation and they mostly

-boast about how rich their culture is and the tourism and the war between the Eelam Tamils and the sinhalese ? But noone really talks about the genocide and the unfairness the Tamils go thru in SL? And i didn’t really understand how there’s also Sri Lankans who are muslims and-

-christians so I thought of asking my friend (who i shall not name) the history of it where she quickly deflected and said she didn’t know and she felt really uncomfortable talking about it so I stopped asking. So I thought of querying bout it from my Tamil friends from SL but I-

-YOUR OWN COUNTRY? or do you not know about what’s happening or you choose to be ignorant and turn a blind-eye?
