Theme parties can be dangerous and racially unacceptable

A couple of years back, one UOB staff attending an annual D&D was attacked for being racist when he put on India attire and painted his face black. Now we have an ad, supposedly to show the four major races in the island, ie CMIO, Chinese, Malay, Indian and Others or Eurasian and because the creator of the ad chose to be creative by using a Chinese actor to dress up to look like the 4 races, some have come up to object against him painting himself a brown tone, and insisted that he was trying to be an Indian or a Malay and that was bad, insensitive.
 
In the ad there was already a ‘Malay’ lady and an ‘Indian’ man, impersonated by the actor, Dennis Chew. So the brown tone man could not be a Malay or Indian, likely to depict a smartly dressed Eurasian in tie, but for those that took the position that it was offensive to depict a Malay or Indian man in brown tones, insisted that ‘he’ must be a Malay or Indian, so that their objection would stick. The Malay or Indian character is already represented in the ad, so do not insist that the brown tone man was meant to be an Indian or a Malay and thus offensive.
 
Is this what sensitivity or insensitivity is all about? Does anyone believe that the ad creator or Mediacorp that commissioned the ad has any ill intention to humiliate or make fun of any minority race? Could anyone want to look at the ad as a creative piece of art or advertisement? Is this about tolerance and insensitivity or about intolerance and over sensitivity?
 
The law must be sensitive and yet be practical and with some room for artistic and creative works and not simply lump every little thing as insensitive and unacceptable. What kind of society would we become if we allow this kind of intolerance to get too far and to grip the society into a state of paranoia?
 
Would people crossing dressing or dressed up in theme parties of different races be seen as racially insensitive? Would things that are taboo or prohibited in a race or religion be banned from the media because it would be seen as insensitive to that race or religion or some highly sensitive person claimed to be offended?
 
Where shall the line be drawn in our multi cultural and multi religious society? Where is the tolerance or sensitivity, or intolerance and insensitivity when we are living so close to each other? Should the govt react whenever a silly ass claims to be offended and start to ban this and that?
 
Should all theme parties that are religious or racial in origin be banned henceforth so that no one would be offended? Is it offensive for a person to dress in the attire of another race while participating in a festival, event, NDP or Chingay?
 
Should the country be held at ransom by a few highly strung and highly sensitive individuals like the swine teacher that said saying beef curry is racially insensitive because Hindus don’t eat beef?
 
Singapore shall not be ruled by the tyranny of the minorities. The authority, especially the Police, must be guarded against being exploited by the minorities in making false allegations and complaints against others. 

The latest case of the E-pay ad is a good example of what false allegation can do to harm racial relations.
There is this tendency to believe the complainant as the victim but this is not necessarily so. The Police must have a protocol to ensure that a police report or complaint has a valid basis. If the complaint is false or mischievous, the Police must take action against the complainant. The Police must not be made to go chasing red herring like fools and the complainant goes free for making false allegation to exaggerate and raise racial tension. If there is no such protocol, the fakes and mischievous would be encouraged to continue to abuse the Police and authority to do their bidding.?
 
What action will the Police take against the complainant in this E pay ad case?
 
What action will the Police take against the foreign associate professor in NTU for questioning the racial composition of our country and suggesting that a Chinese majority has conferred unfair privileges to them and this must be changed?
 
What action has the Police or MOE taken against the teacher that bullied a 9 year old boy for mentioning the word beef curry and threatened him and insulted him that this was unacceptable and the boy could be killed in certain country?
