In a ghastly decision, the Sinhaloid government has decided to completely drop the use of the name ‘Ceylon’ from the official vernacular. The Sinhaloids have stated that they want to remove all throwbacks to the colonial era, when our wondrous white masters held sway over them with We Thamizh as their faithful imported pets.
This move has delighted many racist Sinhala Buddhist chauvinists©, but it has left many right-thinking white butt-lickers in Sri Lanka dumbfounded in shock.
‘This is just shocking, aney!’
said one Sinhaloid young lady while sipping a latte in a posh Cinnamon Gardens café.
‘Why can’t they just stick to Ceylon? I think it’s a very distinguished, English-sounding name. Much better than that godey “Shree Lanka” thingy, meyala!’
From now on, the Ceylon Electricity Board will be renamed the Sri Lanka Electricity Board, the Bank of Ceylon will be renamed the Bank of Sri Lanka and so on. However, the Punakku Department of Tamil Eelam will remain to be known as the Punakku Department of Tamil Eelam. Tamil political circles are convinced that this is yet another ploy by the Sinhaloids to undermine the sense of belonging We Thamizh have in Sri Lanka.
The name ‘Ceilao/Ceylon’ has been around since the Portuguese crashed their boats on Sri Lankan shores, while ‘Lanka’ has been the name of the island for millennia.
Obviously We Thamizh and Sinhaloids who still lick white butt prefer Ceylon because it serves as a reminder of our glorious colonial past but it is plain to see that the Sinhala Buddhist chauvinists© who only have GENOCIDE™ on their minds do not see it that way.
