Chowing Down With Singapore's Minorities | On The Red Dot | Who We Are, What We Eat - Part 1
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 8 ноя 2021
- Singapore comedian Haresh Tilani relishes ramen with a Singaporean-Japanese RUclipsr, appreciates African cuisine with a Nigerian Footballer, and chows on cold crabs with an Indian-Korean DJ, all while talking about identity.
Over lunch with content creator Keiji Umehara, Haresh explores the perils of cancel culture and being an influencer in the current climate. They also discuss what it was like for someone of Japanese descent to learn about the Japanese occupation of Singapore during World War Two.
Visiting the only African café in town, Haresh and footballer Itimi Dickson delve into the stereotype of Nigerian scammers, while revisiting the prejudice that Itimi faced as a young footballer.
And finally, while having Korean Barbeque, Haresh grills Radio DJ Joakim Gomez his experience growing up mixed-heritage.

Thanks Haresh for this amazing series! Building inclusivity over food - doesn’t even have to be a real deep controversial talk about racism or discrimination, but just a short meal and a light conversation for us to understand that we are all human seeking a place to belong and to call home :) (also big thanks to Itimi for playing for our national team despite the ridiculous treatment you faced here!)

You singaporeans seem to only hang out with one race from videos I see, not sure about your young people. Here in America I see people interacting more across race lines especially the younger than 50s age group. Eating with people can help bring everyone together and to treat other with some kindness without allowing hateful attitudes to prevail
I’m so sorry that Mr Dickson have to go through that kind of racism and abuse during his younger days. As a Singaporean I’m very sorry and ashamed to hear that. But I’m glad he’s able to assimilate and make Singapore his home!
Me too. I hope that not every Singaporean are bad. Only a handful.
Woah this is gonna be my new fave series! And i didnt even know we can get African food locally! I'd want more of this series!
*Love this documentary and cannot wait for Part 2* 💕
Thank you Itimi for sharing your story and experience with us and sorry for what you went through in Singapore. I am really thankful for Joakim's being honest about the editorial guidelines of Mediacorp. Over a million foreigners working and living in Singapore for the sake of this island state's prosperity who are constantly being treated differently as opposed to Singaporeans, simply because we are not the members of a family!
This was an excellent show. Keep up the good work!
I LOVE this new series. I didnt know there is a african cafe locally!
Such an amazing series. 👍🏼
I felt home by watching this multicultural conversation. I loved it since I am on the same boat. Thank you. I hope you sell this project to japanese network so the japanese commoners learn to respect multi culturarism and people like us instead of bullying ......

Thank you for sharing Haresh! 👍
Awesome series. 😍
Love this!! Got so hungry watching 🤣🤣
Great series from CNA. Carry on. 👍
Itimin Dickson,
OLUWA MI O, fair play to you for making Africa proud.
I'm a singaporean living in Ireland/ Dublin.
I've loads of nigerian friends and I value their friendship with all of my heart.
Without the presence of Nigerians no parties are official.
They are the soul of good time.
I wonder what happened to goat head and pepper soup and jollof rice in the African restaurant?
Those racists are cowards and envious of your good looks, talent and success.
Itimin, I love Fela Kuti's music very much.
He's the king of African jazz .
Hope you introduce fela's legendary music to singaporeans.
Keep up the good work and spread the diversity around.
All the best Itimin Dickson to you and your family.🌺💝♥️🌹🍀🇳🇬🌺🍀🇳🇬🌺🇳🇬
Great show guys! Thoroughly enjoyed it. Now I'm hungry for some ramen and African food.
Loving this series already

Lovely content!
I was really upset when Itmi mentioned about people spitting on him. How low can people really stoop. Some people are really a bunch of scumbags.

Love it:)
Love this video and how they talked about racism over food! We need more awareness of these sensitive issues so that others can be kinder to one another. We are all humans… I love having friends of different races and learn about their culture! If you have to take a side, choose kindness.

My wife is also super mixed-heritage, similar to Joakim Gomez, and she also always has a hard time explaining who she is. Thanks for opening these kinds of conversations! Also, great food discoveries! Now got more places to eat at!

Yesssssss! Haresh!!!
Great content and positive tone about racism. I really enjoyed it!
Regardless of race or religion, good food brings all of us together WOOOOHOO. 😝
Great concept for this show.. perhaps in the future we can get rid of this term 'others' it makes it seem like an 'us' against 'them' mentality. As long as you have a pink IC, you are considered Singaporean. I think it is best if race is removed from the IC. It isn't a necessary identifier. You can't promote national identity if everyone is so hung up on someone's race.
Even from different racial background, people still hold the identity as "Singaporean (race)"
Removing it can't help bruh
@@weiwenwwe2066 what are you talking about? When you say someone is Singaporean it is their nationality. Race is a totally different thing. For example, your race can be Chinese but you can be Singaporean, Malaysian, Thai etc.. I am saying, we should stop focusing on someone's race and use one's nationality as an identifier.
Oooo, this was so good
Wait what that's actually Keiji from wahbanana oml
Miss SG a lot.. those blended cultures in such tiny place!
Looks like Kafe Utu is one place that needs a visit.Enjoyed the perspective from Itmi.Basically if dark skinned in Singapore its an issue.
Mr Harish is so focused on food that he doesn't maintain eye contact with the guest most of the time.. Chomp chomp chomp.
Joakim is really the perfect name for an Indian Korean child 😂. It's way brilliant, kudos to his parents.
The Brothers ramen are normally great but sadly the other day their cha siu was abit tough and the noodle not quite cooked enough. Thanks for sharing this series
Wow where has haresh been
Ramen is my fav. food. Yummy.
I was looking through this series again and realised that there only seem to be 4 parts... This + Chinese + Malay and finally, Indian people... Shouldn't there be a last installment that would cover Eurasians and other such people not covered by the first four? Just curious!
this kind of shows like..🤘
"The noodles in the soup" ARE "out of this world". Some times I wonder if English is a mother tongue in SG.
the noodles are out of this world. that is correct.
English is not a mother tongue in SG. not everyone is good at languages. people in other English-speaking countries, and speak only English, aren’t great at speaking English either so what’s your point?
Whenever someone says "Only the ramen made by Japanese/ in Japan is good" My reply: "I'm Singapore so I make good Laksa, is it?" Another asked me if la main is as good as ramen, dude... Ramen is an adapted version of Chinese ramen. I asked him which area of Ramen? Ramen differs in the different prefectures. Another friend feels the Japanese ramen we import is another version. Doubt they bother to have a different version (not the mainstream nissin) for our puny market.
I think for authenticity, to be of that culture/ethnicity is at least the prerequisite
Skills is required too.
The accent is something that makes them Singaporeans.
When is part 2 releasing?
*_"Don't talk about the PAP"_*
Wow, the party has got the place on lock! 😬😬

I'm amazed by the Korean-Indian guy whose name is Joaquin Gomez (that is a Latin name and surname), wow! Singapore truly is a melting pot, super interesting and kind of lovely all those different groups of people living together ❤️🇸🇬
I mean…. Ever heard of Goa? This is bloody common. Tons of Indians who have roots hailing from Goa have such last names. It’s such a common feature.
Joakim is a Jewish name. You can find this name in the Old Testament. He was considered a good king in the land of Judea.
💖🌷💖🌷💖
love how CNA shot this 2 beauties at 16:49
HAHAHA number 3 is xiaxue!
There are many westerners living in SG. I don't see featured in your vids though.
Not to be rude but haresh looks like Indian mr bean
🧡
States who specifically set quotas for different races will eventually implode. I would suspect that there is a lot of undercurrent resentment that even though the races are supposed to be all "equal," in practice the Chinese are given preferential treatment and are at the top of The Food Chain in Singapore, even though the government doesn't want to acknowledge it. However, Singaporeans know...🤣🤣🤣
Across the causeway, we don't attempt to hide it. It's blatantly obvious for everyone to dig at
at least in Singapore you can enter medical schools as long as you have good grades, regardless of race- unlike certain places, if you belong to a majority race, you still can become a doctor with a C or D average
SIngapore gained independence along the idea of a benign Chinese hegemony in direct opposition to Malaysia. Multiracialism as an ideal is meant to foster goodwill. But the intention was always that the Chinese remain culturally, economically and politically at the top of the food chain.
@@munster1404 Chinese remain dominant both in Malay and Indonesian because they save money. And they face real discrimination. Although they have A in all subject they will lose the spot to become doctor to an Malay whose grade is c or worse
More convincing when you get a real name
My best friend in Primary school is an Indian boy, Bala. He lived in Toa Payoh in the vicinity of the dragon head playground. He invited me to his home once to eat, it might be deepavali. I am the only Chinese there and I was given fork and spoon while the rest used hands. They had fun looking at me perspirng as I ate the spicy food drank the water repeatedly. I have lost touch with him though.
My worst bully in Primary school was also an Indian, Anthony, a repeat student with his brother. They like soccer and he kicked me in the shin causing a dent there during PE. He also repeatedly borrowed money from me and didn't pay. Once when a pretty nurse was checking us one by one in a queue, the nurse asked Anthony if he ever washed it.
This are my childhood memories
Its me, bala
OK bro and?
I don't see how the 2nd paragraph is a race issue. It feels more of just a bullying problem (which is also very bad). No need to bring the race up.
@@iirquhs It is not about about racism. It is about that in every race, there are good and bad people. Just sharing I had good and bad experience with the same race.
@@iirquhs LMAOOOOO funny contradiction. Any bullying or whatever by Chinese towards other races = racism but it's not when it's the other way round. So who is the privileged ones here? Maybe you should tell that to indians and malays, stop bringing the race issue up when it's not.
I think Singapore should abolish race on every IC .
MOF!!:D
I miss nicole in politics
I miss u too
Korean with no K-drama watch
With any religion, racial supremacy is the worst!
as opposed to the minorities most prominent in Singapore? Way to avoid a real discussion.
Indian people always try to pick on me lucky I am strong
hehe ya me too they pick on me ! and of course you and I are pure so we could not have done anything to instigate them...omg such a difficult word hor my england is so bad
Chinese pick on me think they superior cos they think they 'white' so can bully. I always call them bird poo. I also strong and brave and pureeee
ugh.
Claim your within an hour ticket here! 🎫 :D
Desperate
18:43 보기 불편해요☺ 햄버거가 아닙니다.
2:15 My pet peeve: People pronouncing Japanese as 'Jeh-pan neese'.
Mine is ramen (la-meh-n) as rah-men 🤣🤣
Sindhi is not a dialect group, OMG. It’s an ethno-linguistic community. It’s literally an ethnic group, just like Japanese, Tamil, Korean, Dutch, Punjabi, Russian etc. Sindhi language has many dialectic variants such as Shikarpuri Sindhi, Vicholi, Kaachi etc. Many languages have dialects. Cockney is a particular dialect of English spoken in areas of England. There are many such dialects of English. *facepalm Haresh* Do you know that little about your heritage? Most Singaporean Sindhis trace their ancestry to the Hyderabad region in Sind of United India. So they mainly speak Standard Sindhi, which is also known as Hyderabadi Sindhi. Your analogy is akin to saying Korean or German is a “dialect.” They are full-fledged ethnic communities/ethno-linguistic groups with all the trappings of being so, just like Sindhi.
At least educate the public correctly when the very episode is on race and minorities in Singapore and you reduced Sindhis, a Singaporean minority with long roots in Singapore, to a dialect group. Makes this error all the more grave. Thoroughly disappointing to see you do a report like this on race and get the most fundamentals about your own ethic heritage wrong. If you had said I can’t speak Vicholi, my ancestral tongue, which is a dialect of Sindhi, the native language of ethnic Sindhis, that would make total sense. You even generalized Sindhi to an “Indian dialect”. Jesus Christ man, Jhulelal.
Nigerians seem to speak better English than SG'rians.
Always Indians who want to make this about race. Look at the country India. And you will see how woke they are online. But in real life cast system prevails everything in their life. Indians in Singapore are minority so does it means they want reservation for the minority? If so then Singapore will be just like india with cast system
hehe yes its always their fault never us. its with this attitude we got so far heheh. and see even after saying such things we can totally get away hehe. Not privilege hor!
What caste System? From what you are saying it looks like everything in China and Chinese society is perfect and the rich Chinese aren’t oppressing the working class Chinese people. Chinese love to talk about racism in western countries but they do the same thing to other peoples in Chinese majority areas but then shift blame to the minorities.
Most attacks are towards the minorities la esp after delta virus came about, so they created this lor. Since when did they say 'want reservation for minority.' No one said anything so don't put words in others mouth. Tsktsk, chinese thinking.
Calling everyone racist does not make them racist but it might if you keep it up long enough
Falling back into broad generalizations yourself to bypass actually having to address an issue is not helpful either though.
YES, there def is an issue with cancel culture in general today and also I see people call "racism" whenever someone does or says something they don't like.
That does not mean it is not a real issue and a very real problem for people though.
And I don't feel they did such a bad job talking about it here, they talk about the bad and the good.
Maybe could go a bit into the depth and meat of it, but considering the format and the limited timeframe?
I feel they did a good job.
Some interesting stories, some touching more serious problems, but lighthearted with a positive outlook in general.
Like the food I guess - not a heavy course, but with some substance.
every human is inherently racist , everyone carries racial bias/prejudice from all around the world but weather they voice it out is a different issue
@@spots- CRT has you brainwashed BAD! Seek help immediately!
@@All2Skitzd all humans have racial biases its human nature to stereotype people like usually people think “Japanese are very polite” is a form of racial bias
If you keep getting called racist there might be a reason for that. I don't have that problem, and a few times someone has told me something I did was offensive, it was because it was and I didn't know. Maybe try some self reflection instead of blaming others for your problems.
Mentions "woke"...I stopped watching.
Their accents give me a headache !!! 😖
Same thing happened to me with Australian accent lol.😁
It's Singlish. You have to be either a Singaporean or a Malaysian to not be bothered by it.
@@ashashraa6579 Isn't that sounds like racist to you?
@@ashashraa6579 To black and white around the world you'll all same to them...JACK ASS!
@@sukbadaimonghol1089 Nah maybe only to ignorantly insecure buffoons like you who can't figure out how to maneuver around the social norm of society. Oh and fix your grammar.
Is any else questioning if this is just for attention ?
Why are you so threatened by it? sus
Ya lor. How dare they tell the world that Singapore has racism.
The problem I have is the intro they bring up issues like “Chinese privilege” and pass by it very quickly .I think that bringing Singaporeans together via food is a brilliant idea !But they touch on a lot of heavy issues too lightly
Hmmm boring contents
Don't watch it then, simple.
boring!!
