The real issue of racism is when some of those who belong to the majority race try to brush off your racist experience or not even acknowledge the presence of it because it is not happening to them. Racism is taught behavior. Education alone can change it.
Have u been mistaken for a communist just because U R chinese ? It happen in SG in 1950s and is still happening today outside SG. Is this racism or ignorance?
@@gha9543 you sound like the typical Karen saying all lives matter when a black folk says Black Lives Matter. That is what I see happening here. I get it. I understand.
The Chinese in Singapore have always been racist to me throughout my life. I eventually left the country. The funny thing is that I am native Malay while the Chinese are just guests in my native land. They are from China and I am being discriminated against even though my ancestors have lived in what is now Singapore for thousands of years.
@@Oreo-vh7rk You are guests. Foreigner like you must be forced to memorise the Constitution before being given Singapore Citizenship. It is categorically stated in the Constitution that Malays are the indigenous natives of this land aka Tanah Melayu. If you can't read Engerrish, there is the Mandarin version, the language of your erstwhile Man Ren Occupiers of Tiongkok. Or you want it in Mongol? Since they occupied Tiongkok for centuries too. Or Japanese?

@@mlv4150 I see your sarcasm there. PRC is occupied by communists, Taiwan ( ROC) is the real China, which is a developed country manufacturing most advanced chips for Nvidia, Intel, and Apple
It's not growing racism in Singapore but growing arrogance and entitlement. Many Overseas Chinese also found lots Singaporean Chinese are very full of themselves.
You obviously have not come across overseas Chinese and how they are much more arrogant than Singaporean Chinese. I suspect it’s just your bias against Singaporean Chinese
I agree. These Chinese people in Singapore or China basically took over the country little by little, now that they have a large number they want to cry out and claim everything.
I have noticed that if I am seated in the bus, near the window seat and there is a seat vacant beside me, Chinese people would prefer not to seat beside me and take the next vacant seat behind me. They would only take the seat beside me as a last resort.
It may not be racism but preference when u chose to sit next to a woman instead of a man. I prefer sitting next to a female than a male makes me a sexist rather than racism.
Even the Chinese females don’t want to sit beside me so it is clearly not about preference. I think I know better what it is since I am subjected to it. Please don’t try to make me to think of it in another way unless you have been in my shoes. No need for gaslighting of my experience. This is an issue and let’s address why it is happening and correct it through education than to try and change the topic.
@@gha9543 Really... I see this both genders. Especially with some of the elderly, loudly slapping the seats after I get up so they can cool it down before sitting. Embarrassing. I don't bother to sit next to them anymore. The younger ones are so much more accommodating.
@@LakshmananLM The elderlies slap on seats regardless who sat on them before. One version of the reasons is that sitting on warm seats leads to piles, slapping on the seat dissipate the "heat". I don't buy it, but try convincing those who have been doing this their entire lives.
@@qcasj Racist behaviour exist amongst the chinese in SG because they were subjected to racism in the early years when most chinese have been suspected of communism. This is why when u see chinese in SG behaving unfriendly towards u is often not racism but years of being mistaken as a communist.
@@maximus6884 your comments to respect others but you yourself don't even respect others by accusing me of being xenophobic whereas where in my comment stating as such?
@@goodman2758 Claiming certain race has privilege often led to racial discrimination laws. Sri Lanka government had laws to discriminate Tamils because the Tamil Elam people are perceived as privileged.
An Indian person has to go through all sorts of racism in Singapore (I mean, just look at the comment section. some people are justifying the discrimination). I tolerated for a while when I lived there, but left Singapore soon and moved back to my home-city in India. Some of my Indian colleagues and friends (who left India) still stay/work there and are living a depressed and pathetic life... I hope they will learn something called 'self-respect' too and come back.
People used to look up to India in the ancient times. Foreigners used to study in Nalanda university. I remember ancient Chinese called India “civilized” and “center of knowledge”. Scientists and mathematicians of the islamic golden age admired our work. Greeks and Romans also used to look up to us. Good old times. Anglo-Saxons and other Westerners are the reason that South Asians face discrimination worldwide. They ruined our image by portraying us as animal f*ckers, street sh*tters, unhygienic (India needs to work on hygiene, I admit, but man often it is over exaggerated), savages, r*pists, cannibals, scammers, etc. West butchered our reputation. We think South Asians face discrimination because of skin color, but that is not the case. When you are brown, people think you are from South Asia, and South Asia has a bad image. Many Italians and Middle Easterners have light brown to medium olive bronze tone. But, they don't face discrimination. It's all about image. Even light skin Indians face discrimination. Just tell them you are Indian and attitude changes. West spreads a sh*t ton of atrocity literature against Indians. We did have good relations with Islamic countries, but West screwed it up by portraying India as extremely anti-muslim. Western media has an amnesia effect on people.
I hear stories of Chinese and Indian heritage people born in Malaysia having left and come to Singapore because of overt racism there. I guess we are all subject to racism somewhere. Dominant ethnicities will always impose their culture and attitudes on others. It’s a failing of the human animal. Suspicion of the “different”. We can only strive to be better and all get along.

The Chinese have been very racist towards me. Every where there is Alot of racial discrimination happening. This is true. Last time I saw a few Chinese Young girls see The Indians old man and Old woman Not happy with them in the SBS bus. Just respect elderly people always with respect. What's wrong with respecting old people . They're The pioneer generation.

During the Japanese occupation, the Chinese were mercilessly killed by the Japanese soldiers. The Japanese and Chinese were traditional enemies. The Chinese, to escape from the Japanese soldiers, used to hide in the homes of the Tamils and disguised themselves in Indian clothes. The Tamils helped the Chinese families hide in their homes when the Japanese soldiers were killing them. A Chinese family came to hide in my great grandmother's house and a few Japanese soldiers barged in and shot and killed the entire Chinese family right in front of her eyes. My grandmother who was a child also witnessed it. Now they have forgotten their history and have become racist. They would not be here to be racist had the Tamils been racist during the Japanese occupation.

@@chinchowpowpook It is the truth which you cannot change. Many Chinese hid in the Tamils' homes to escape from the Japanese. It sounds like you are disappointed that your grandfather had to hide in my grandfather's home to save his life from the Japanese. The Tamils were not the minority in those times. There were as many Tamils as there were Chinese. Many Tamils and Indians returned to their home countries with their families because they had held on to their roots while the Chinese stayed and bred to become the majority. When the people whose ancestors saved your ancestors from the Japanese expect you to be decent human beings and not racists, we are not expecting you to feed us the nasty things which you eat. Go and study some history and learn English instead of trying to feed me the frogs, pigs and bats which you eat.
As a Singaporean, I am utterly disappointed with this CNA forum as it doesn’t deliver the right message, it didn’t dig deeper into the root of this issue. What's the purpose of this forum? To cause a divide among the races? Why Singaporean Chinese who had experienced racism did not participate in this forum? Where are our Eurasian friends? How is this an open conversation? A personal story of mine. Football is generally played by mostly Singaporean Malays. Being one of the few Singaporean Chinese who likes to play football, I often play with my Malay friends. Whenever I make a mistake on the field, a few of my Malay teammates will say things like "Cina Babi”, "Cina don’t know how to kick a ball." Whenever we play against a Chinese opponent team, my Malay teammates will say "you should join the Chinese team lah" Even though their words were hurtful, I would take it as a pinch of salt. I understand there will always be a difference between us, language, culture, I need to respect that. I am a positive person. I know can’t change them but I can improve the situation. I do believe one must be initiative and effort to create a bond or a friendship with others. So, I thought to myself why not try to create some commonality with them. I put in the effort to learn the Malay language and culture so that I can build up a rapport with the team which did work. At the end of the day, we just have put all the bad experiences behind and we grow as a team together regardless of race. I think everyone needs to have empathy. Empathy is when we put ourselves in another's place - to walk in their shoes and see the world through their eyes, understanding their situation. Back to the CNA video, I find that some of the participants' experiences are taken out of context. I must say that the Chinese lady was clearly fearful of offending others. And hating the smell of curry? (I freaking love curry) Is he referring to the 2011 news? If so, it was reported by the Straits Times, that it was a migrant family from China who complained about their Indian family cooking curry. wiki.sg/p/Curry_dispute_(2011) This raised more questions; do we need to relook at our immigration policy? How can we better integrate new citizens or foreigners from different backgrounds and cultures into our Singapore community? The Chinese asking an Indian why the Indian's name is so long. Is the Chinese really racist or is the Chinese asking purely out of curiosity? Why the boy didn’t want to sit beside the Malay man? Was he being bullied by Malays in his school? Did his bad experience hurt him mentally? People need to see the bigger picture, ask deeper questions. Whoever created the term 'Chinese privilege' is definitely a racist. 'Chinese privilege' does gives people a feeling of anger and hatred towards the Chinese. What about those Singaporean Chinese who have fallen through the cracks of society? Unable to financially support themselves. The older Singaporean Chinese generation is unable to find a job because they are not fluent in English, only know how to speak Mandarin. Where is their privilege? Why is racism on a rising trend in Singapore? Unfairness? What's their fear? We need to ask more questions and discuss further. We, as a human-being tend to judge for themselves the intended meaning without first seeking the truth. When we finally seek the truth, our sense of believing in justified explanation is skewed from our own emotional reactions. Hence, we need to be more empathetic towards others. In conclusion, I want to remind fellow Singaporeans who are watching this CNA forum. PLEASE watch this with an open mind and not jump to conclusions. I do agree there are a few bad apples amongst us, but see it as an individual and not the entire community. An individual who needs to be educated and not heavily criticize. Singapore is where everybody should have equal opportunities, feel kinship and brotherhood with people of different races and religions, and share the same Singapore nationality. We are Singaporeans, we need to be pragmatic, more EMPATHY less "wokeness".
Your post is big and my reply is short, but I think I understand your point. I have been working with behaviour scientists for 6 years and we cannot produce an answer for why people act "racist". It is mostly from ignorance et cetera. But to be the person to claim something you have the burden of proof. Media is talking about racism as it is an exact science. The "true" cause is most likely way more complex.
My man, listen to the girl at 4:46 . There is no harm in accepting that a "privilege" naturally stems over time, whats more important is that we have to uproot it. Privileges exist everywhere. In USA Europe you have white privilege, in Middle east you have Muslim privilege, etc. Simply admitting that a privilege exists doesn't make you a racist, but rather it shows us a mirror, a reflection of our society.
@@Kenhraim i read somewhere that racism evolved out of fear. In the stone age, if a bunch of unknown ppl came to your village, it's most likely that they're intruders or plunderers. That fear turned into hate for the unknown, and in the modern, comparatively civilised world, this mindset exists in the form of racism, fuelled by media and politicians.
Agreed. I was also one of those chinese boys who got bullied using racist terms by minorities in the soccer CCA during my secondary school days. Minorities form the majority for that sport. Majorities DO face racism, but nobody is acknowledging it. Yet now only minorities are complaining about racism. And what about the caucasians? You don't see them present here or complaining. CNA is painting the majority race here as the bogeyman to be scapegoats left to die. The participants are biased, naive, or apologists and the profs and moderators are not objective here.

CNA why did you post an edited version of the original video posted 6 days ago? I noticed you edited out the parts where the kids couldn't even understand or answer what is EIP (Ethnic Integration Programme) and also an example of how asking why an Indian has a long name is considered being racist. This is not a forum. This is just a one directional virtue signaling and reverse racism talk down at work.
Some Mainland Chinese also look down on Singapore Chinese. Calling them mixed, laughing at their weak command of Chinese and saying that they shouldn't call themselves Chinese.
@@RS4747 Strange. Singapore Chinese got deep respect for Indonesian Chinese. They are the rich people of the region. That is my personal experience. I have not heard of anyone saying vile things about them. In fact many of us very unhappy that they were often bullied and attacked during the riots
@@SuccessforLifester I did live in Singapore about 20 years ago but am living in Australia now. Back in my time in Singapore, they made comments that Indonesian chinese weren't real chinese. Unfortunately it happened again to my wife when we visited Singapore several years ago by a hawker in Lau Pasat. This type of experience is shared by other Indonesian chinese too.
@@RS4747 I see. My friends never talked about that before. We only remarked that they couldn't speak Chinese and has non Chinese names. But it wasn't derogatory. We knew it probably was due to the policies in Indonesia. In fact I often also thought that Indonesian ladies are quite fair and pretty
@@RS4747 Maybe it could be a matter of communication. Like the stall people bluntly asked , you are not Chinese ah!? If she happened to order in say English. Recently I am guilty of this myself. I was ordering food from Qiji, a joint that sells Nasi Lemak. I spoke to the dark skinned staff in English but he kept replying in Chinese. Then I asked, oh You are not Malay ah?? It was a silly question on my part, causing laughter from his Chinese staff who told me he is a Chinese.
Not just the Chinese, the Malays (especially women) also avoided sitting next to Indian men. But Chinese women I saw most them sitting next Malay men in the bus who dressed well like office clothing and using iPad Pro / iPhones. No issues. Sometimes, proper attire and the things you are using can describe what kind of person you are.
Hehe yes because abnn bad smell mah. So dark somemore. Later spread to us how? We smell like flowers on the other hand hehe. We are soooo intelligent we actually think skin colours are contagious heheheh I am such a smart ah lian
Racism exists in Singapore too. My children even with very light skin tone have been bullied in primary school by children of other races. I myself have faced racism so many times. Of course there are some people who have been extremely nice but that's quite rare.
Yes this is common. Malays who are very fair skinned like the Chinese, always get bullied by darker / normal Malays in classrooms. From Primary school to Secondary level. They would ask "Eh... how come your skin like this color one? What?? You use clorox (bleach)? Cannot afford to buy normal body soap isit??"
Light skin Malay is not malay they are mixed race bro that why they get bullied being soft n weak but they need to proof themself as strong as darker skin people
@@goodman2758 They are born from both Malay biological mother and father, those darker skinned type who wore songkong and tudung. The Malays have different skin tone to begin with. Being fairer doesn't mean they are weak or the darker skinned equals to stronger. That's bullshit. Most of the fairer looking Malays scored higher than normal Malays in academics. Opportunities for them to get better / decent employment such as those at the office strikes a better chance too, especially after the face-to-face job interviews. Most companies prefers presentable candidates.
@@goodman2758 In this days being physically strong and darker complexion can only land you a delivery or warehouse job most of the time, rather than the management or sales positions even if you posses a degree or diploma.
@@goodman2758 They get bullied because of the bullies' shortcomings themselves. Jealousy can lead people to hate others for no reason. They kept telling themselves that those well-mannered, rich, and light skinned Malays are weak, soft, etc. But that is where these typical Malays are wrong. Never jealous of someone better than you or judge a person who look different than the "norms". Still, the Chinese students in the classroom prefer to mix around with light skin Malays so there nothing for them to lose.

Now, all of you are talking about 'cinaporeaness'. As a young boy, when my China mother sent me to an English(British) school, my poor mum got all the bashings from those Chinese parents who sent their children to a Chinese school. i learnt about this 'Chinese racialism' at a very young age which i am unhappy about. In an English school, you find only multi-racial children studying from all walks of life. My China mother being uneducated spoke to me in Hokkien. Hence, today i have realised only well-educated Chinese speak Mandarin in fact the whole of Communist China is the only highly educated country in the world. Even, a Queen's scholar is not educated unless he is highly educated in the superior language Mandarin. My China mother had made a blundering mistake sending me to an English school. Today, unfortunately "i am UNEDUCATED!" with no regret.
The racist men from the majority race in Singapore often target women from minority races while the racist men in Western countries target minority men and spare the women. Are the racists of Singapore more cowardly than the racists of Western countries? In the case of the 30 year old Chinese man who attacked a 55 year old Indian woman, the racist did not even target a woman his own age but found an easy victim in an old woman. Why was that so? Are Singaporean racists the lowest of all racists?
The odd thing is just over the pond in Malaysia it is the Chinese who are discriminated against by the majority and have the same complaints against racism
@blackbannerz9830 maybe you should bring your sinophobia back to the US, racist. when people are racist towards the chinese, its ok, but when they fight back its "racism". hypocrites
Racism happens everywhere! At least SG government (includes all races) encourages racial harmony, so more SG respect each other for being different race. most minorities are sensitive when encounter with different group of people. I respect people with high integrity and civilisation regardless of their origin.
Maybe the ones with higher education are noticing racism more because they’ve been indoctrinated in university 🤷♀️ is there a difference in opinion between those who have the same level of education but who got their qualifications at different times e.g. are those who have recently been through uni more aware of racism than those who studied over a decade ago?
Well, I can relate to seating down in the MRT and other people around me standing up. It become a norm to a point I found it funny that we, the same people scared of each other just because our races is different😄.
Ya lor its not wrong what! Certain people smelly or too black I don't sit beside them lor my choice. Oh ya I also don't wash my butt because its considered a cleaner habit than being dark skinned or of other non- chinese race hehe
This kind of this just preference hor like I like bananas instead of oranges. You should not shame people for preferences especially if the majority race is doing it....see you made me gave you a lecture
Not Singapore too. This kind of manufactured victimhood is ripping the US apart. I hope young Singaporeans are above the nonsense that is currently triggering a massive retrogression in the western world. Young people in SG have no clue how good they have it. You have three major ethnic groups who all value hard work, achievement, peace, family and coexistence. If you feel oppressed in SG in 2021, please realize that millions of people outside SG would give every penny they have to be "oppressed" in SG. Before moving back to Taiwan, I lived in Los Angeles. People shooting other random people for no reason was normal. Attacks by blacks against Asians were so numerous that the news stopped reporting on them because it was so ridiculous and frequent. Don't let SG turn into a land of "oppression" where people manufacture grievances and victimhood as a tool to divide society.
heheh maybe because when people like you and me bully them, they kept quiet and that's why SG achieved peace and co-existence? and maybe you and I don't like that they are starting to talk about it? hehe
I keep hearing all these words being repeated: "aggressions", "violent", "trauma", and was expecting something akin to the deadly clashes like in the race riots of the 60's.. But oops, they were just describing what our elders who actually lived through that period would consider mild annoyances at best. I guess when everybody's racing to showcase themselves as the most helpless victims of oppression, there isn't enough hyperbole in the dictionary to go around.
If you compare racism in Singapore vs other Asian countries, it is not comparable. Singapore at least reach somewhat a good racial harmony compare to it's neighboring countries
How come the land of south east asia near to Malaysia become majoritarian for Chinese . 🤔 Even never britishers , french , Dutch controlled China and sent migrants to Malaysia or south east asia .
More lip service... paps have been talking bout this but their actions are as usual, too little too late and their policies actually exacerbates the issues, and since most are "scholars" and come from privileged backgrounds, this is the best they will do...talk... you like thoughts and prayers?
Everyone is too sensitive, micro aggression are not aggression, it is a learned helplessness when you are feels indignant or a shout fest between a fool and someone who is standing up to a fool, or an ensuing fight
i was bullied for my skin colour which affected my entire personality and whenever i look for jobs they always prefer to hire chinese even though the job doesn't require the person to speak mandarin this are real issues minorities have to go through. don't gaslight their experience
so interesting seeing racism from other minorities where as here in the us, asians of all kinds are facing the same issues. I think calling it "chinese" or "white" or even "black" privilege is wrong, its def an issue of majority vs. the minority mentality and it isnt define by specifically race, religion or other.
Being a majority race ie chinese in SG during the early years of self governance ie at the time of David Marshall and PAP got Singapore kick out of the Federation of Malaya. Even Mr. LKY cried out loud and every chinese person in SG was visibly shaken by this news. How racism against the chinese became the success of today. It did made the chinese majority in SG determine to survive against all odds.
@@gha9543 They got kicked out because too many cheenerbahbee were pro PRC & anti Sg & M'sia. M'sia couldn't afford a majority cheenerbahbee federation so they pushed out the federal territory with the largest percentage of descendants of foreign labourers from Tiongkok - Sg. Even when separated the vast majority of these descendants of labourers from Tiongkok were loyal to Mao, not to Sg & not to LKY. LKY used the ISA & Ang Chia to break these orang Tionghua who wanted to destroy our nation. Because of LKY's leadership & the work put in by the Indian Officers & Malay Constables & also with the assistance of the pro-Singapore English-ed Chn, we managed to prevent the total destruction of our nation.

To be honest Chinese cuisine have more intense smell than south east Asian,Indian or whatever food . I could even get the smell of sauya sauce if it's far away from me . Whole China Town has unique and intense smell throughout the alley way in USA . So don't be hypocrites . Just saying as a third person .
Don't worry. The government is doing their best to destroy the Chinese communist thinking by bringing in Indians from India and other nationalities. Most of the Indians become CEO in Singapore companies such as Starhub, Temasek Holdings, DBS, and many more.
Yes, those blame culture is just the same like most Singaporeans especially the Chinese population who complained about Indians from India and other foreign talents like the Ang Mohs who came here and get top positions in many workplaces. Singaporeans in general, demanded higher pay but refused to work overtime or working under pressure to meet deadline of a project. They should stop blaming the foreigners who contributed to Singapore.
Reality world don’t care for no one. Only common we all share is “time”. When your last breath all these meaningless topic mean nothing. Love yourself.
Especially the old people in Singapore are always being left along and ignored because they think that they are right, never wrong. These people seek attention from the younger gens but through wrong method.
All you Asians have feudal cultures, focused on clans. You deserve each other. Chinese culture is arguably the most xenophobic but other East Asians are similar. How do you think these cultures kept the ethnic homogeneity so long? Indians have their caste culture which is equally undeveloped, ancient nonsense. Enjoy each other

And the wealthier and the more powerfull you are, the most the people you affect with your actions. Turns out i was rigth, they are racist but they hate when you bring the matter to the table.
Sorry not for “Indian”, this is majority reply i received when looking for place to stay inside Singapore. Only for Chinese !! Never knew race play big issue in Singapore 🇸🇬.
Hate those don’t do own soul searching but just go anywhere and whack other culture simply u don’t adajust to adapt n respect that country culture u plan to make $$$$ n live..ffffoffff
There is a Chinese saying, 无中声有，此时无声胜有声。Furthermore, if the issues do exists, must be accumulated over time and transformation effort needed from all levels top down and down up to dig out the root cause. Just like a marriage couple, life always fulls of conflicts and if don't solved on the spot, the ultimate path is divorce.. So simple.
If you compare racism in Singapore vs other Asian countries, it is not comparable. Singapore at least reach somewhat a good racial harmony compare to it's neighboring countries
Minorities in Asian countries gets horribly discriminated for their race and religion. Singapore has racial harmony and the disharmony in Singapore is due to the disparity in wealth and opportunities. Singapore's minorities are well represented in Government and have done well in the private sector. Traditional careers in Politics,law and banking have minorities in high positions. The minority races have done well compare to their peers in their home countries. Wealth and poverty exist amongst all races and most prevalent amongst the seniors and elderly .
@@Oreo-vh7rk If you think racism in Singapore barely exists, then you've been blessed with an environment where you meet saints on almost a day to day basis, or you're just ignorant. People who are malay, indian, an immigrant from Philippines has experienced our own fair share of racism, some microaggression, some are flat out blatant biasness and mistreatment towards us, which is inclusive of being targeted because we belong to a specific ethnic group which is a minority here. I legit faced blatant discrimination and attempted bullying from my schoolmates back in high school due to being filipino. It made me aware of the fact that, even though i'm accepted here as a resident of the country and been given respect by them to some extent, I will never truly stand as equals to individuals who are full of pride, arrogance and racists. That doesn't mean all of Singapore are racist, but the truth is that racism is real, alive and prevalent in Singapore today. Just don't ignore it.
@@yasua0611 sorry you had to experience those horrible things.

Singapur merged as The State of Malaysia in 1963. However after political disagreement and RACIAL disputes. Malayssian gouvernment unanimously voted to kick Singapur out of the unión. I wonder who was the main caused of those RACIAL problems. But if it was Singapur (wich probably was) i really doubt that they have changed so much since then. Specially now that they have power, money and influence. Can a malaisyan corroborate this?

I actually agreed with you. But commenting about the curry smell does not mean that Indians are smelly. I am not bother with the spice smell on the Indians. When I was young, I thought that the Indians use spice as some sort of cologne or perfume. Hahaha! I guess that I really like that smell! One thing to note through, I worked with young children. When my Indian co-worker bought curry for lunch, she would notice some kids would sneeze like crazy because of the curry (Not a good sign during a pandemic!), so she would have her lunch outside to make it easier for the children. Thankfully, my coworker understands that some Indian spices do irritate other people's nostrils so she understands why certain people reacts so negatively towards the curry smell
Don't worry. The government is doing their best to destroy the Chinese communist thinking by bringing in Indians from India and other nationalities. Most of the Indians become CEO in Singapore companies such as Starhub, Temasek Holdings, DBS, and many more.
During the Japanese occupation, the Chinese were mercilessly killed by the Japanese soldiers. The Japanese and Chinese were traditional enemies. The Chinese, to escape from the Japanese soldiers, used to hide in the homes of the Tamils and disguised themselves in Indian clothes. The Tamils helped the Chinese families hide in their homes when the Japanese soldiers were killing them. A Chinese family came to hide in my great grandmother's house and a few Japanese soldiers barged in and shot and killed the entire Chinese family right in front of her eyes. My grandmother who was a child also witnessed it. Now they have forgotten their history and have become racist. They would not be here to be racist had the Tamils been racist during the Japanese occupation.

@@laurence82 Learn the difference between a history lesson and a comparison between the good deeds of the Tamils who saved many Chinese lives from the Japanese soldiers and the bad deeds of today's racists of Singapore who must have descended from those who were persecuted by the Japanese soldiers. The Tamils had no obligation do such good deeds and show kindness. Yet they did it out of the goodness of their hearts. It is interesting how the Singaporean society thinks that they totally deserve the ungrateful racist attacks for being kind and not minding their own business and keeping their doors locked from the Chinese during the Japanese occupation.
The minorities in Singapore too aren't innocent in poor race relations. Race riots in Singapore were mostly instigated by the minorities desiring special treatment. Most of the religious extremists who preach preach hatred towards other religions are mostly non-Chinese.

I agree. These Chinese people in Singapore or China basically took over the country little by little, now that they have a large number they want to cry out and claim everything.
I have noticed that if I am seated in the bus, near the window seat and there is a seat vacant beside me, Chinese people would prefer not to seat beside me and take the next vacant seat behind me. They would only take the seat beside me as a last resort.
It may not be racism but preference when u chose to sit next to a woman instead of a man. I prefer sitting next to a female than a male makes me a sexist rather than racism.
Even the Chinese females don’t want to sit beside me so it is clearly not about preference. I think I know better what it is since I am subjected to it. Please don’t try to make me to think of it in another way unless you have been in my shoes. No need for gaslighting of my experience.

Dominant ethnicities will always impose their culture and attitudes on others. It’s a failing of the human animal. Suspicion of the “different”. We can only strive to be better and all get along.

It sounds like you are disappointed that your grandfather had to hide in my grandfather's home to save his life from the Japanese. The Tamils were not the minority in those times. There were as many Tamils as there were Chinese. Many Tamils and Indians returned to their home countries with their families because they had held on to their roots while the Chinese stayed and bred to become the majority. When the people whose ancestors saved your ancestors from the Japanese expect you to be decent human beings and not racists, we are not expecting you to feed us the nasty things which you eat. Go and study some history and learn English instead of trying to feed me the frogs, pigs and bats which you eat.
First they will say casual racism is only mah. What if the reply is casual violence... There's nothing casual about racism and violence.
Sooo happy that this is being discussed.
As a Singaporean, I am utterly disappointed with this CNA forum as it doesn’t deliver the right message, it didn’t dig deeper into the root of this issue. What's the purpose of this forum? To cause a divide among the races? Why Singaporean Chinese who had experienced racism did not participate in this forum? Where are our Eurasian friends? How is this an open conversation?
A personal story of mine. Football is generally played by mostly Singaporean Malays. Being one of the few Singaporean Chinese who likes to play football, I often play with my Malay friends. Whenever I make a mistake on the field, a few of my Malay teammates will say things like "Cina Babi”, "Cina don’t know how to kick a ball." Whenever we play against a Chinese opponent team, my Malay teammates will say "you should join the Chinese team lah"
Even though their words were hurtful, I would take it as a pinch of salt. I understand there will always be a difference between us, language, culture, I need to respect that.
I am a positive person. I know can’t change them but I can improve the situation.
I do believe one must be initiative and effort to create a bond or a friendship with others. So, I thought to myself why not try to create some commonality with them. I put in the effort to learn the Malay language and culture so that I can build up a rapport with the team which did work. At the end of the day, we just have put all the bad experiences behind and we grow as a team together regardless of race. I think everyone needs to have empathy. Empathy is when we put ourselves in another's place - to walk in their shoes and see the world through their eyes, understanding their situation.
Back to the CNA video, I find that some of the participants' experiences are taken out of context. I must say that the Chinese lady was clearly fearful of offending others.
And hating the smell of curry? (I freaking love curry) Is he referring to the 2011 news? If so, it was reported by the Straits Times, that it was a migrant family from China who complained about their Indian family cooking curry. wiki.sg/p/Curry_dispute_(2011) This raised more questions; do we need to relook at our immigration policy? How can we better integrate new citizens or foreigners from different backgrounds and cultures into our Singapore community? The Chinese asking an Indian why the Indian's name is so long. Is the Chinese really racist or is the Chinese asking purely out of curiosity? Why the boy didn’t want to sit beside the Malay man? Was he being bullied by Malays in his school? Did his bad experience hurt him mentally? People need to see the bigger picture, ask deeper questions.
Whoever created the term 'Chinese privilege' is definitely a racist. 'Chinese privilege' does gives people a feeling of anger and hatred towards the Chinese. What about those Singaporean Chinese who have fallen through the cracks of society? Unable to financially support themselves. The older Singaporean Chinese generation is unable to find a job because they are not fluent in English, only know how to speak Mandarin. Where is their privilege? Why is racism on a rising trend in Singapore? Unfairness? What's their fear? We need to ask more questions and discuss further.
We, as a human-being tend to judge for themselves the intended meaning without first seeking the truth. When we finally seek the truth, our sense of believing in justified explanation is skewed from our own emotional reactions. Hence, we need to be more empathetic towards others.
In conclusion, I want to remind fellow Singaporeans who are watching this CNA forum. PLEASE watch this with an open mind and not jump to conclusions. I do agree there are a few bad apples amongst us, but see it as an individual and not the entire community. An individual who needs to be educated and not heavily criticize.
Singapore is where everybody should have equal opportunities, feel kinship and brotherhood with people of different races and religions, and share the same Singapore nationality. We are Singaporeans, we need to be pragmatic, more EMPATHY less "wokeness".
Your post is big and my reply is short, but I think I understand your point. I have been working with behaviour scientists for 6 years and we cannot produce an answer for why people act "racist". It is mostly from ignorance et cetera. But to be the person to claim something you have the burden of proof. Media is talking about racism as it is an exact science. The "true" cause is most likely way more complex.
My man, listen to the girl at 4:46 . There is no harm in accepting that a "privilege" naturally stems over time, whats more important is that we have to uproot it.
Privileges exist everywhere. In USA Europe you have white privilege, in Middle east you have Muslim privilege, etc. Simply admitting that a privilege exists doesn't make you a racist, but rather it shows us a mirror, a reflection of our society.
@@Kenhraim i read somewhere that racism evolved out of fear. In the stone age, if a bunch of unknown ppl came to your village, it's most likely that they're intruders or plunderers. That fear turned into hate for the unknown, and in the modern, comparatively civilised world, this mindset exists in the form of racism, fuelled by media and politicians.
I agree, also Eurasians get the most privileges especially in companies where they can be promoted based on skin colour.
Agreed. I was also one of those chinese boys who got bullied using racist terms by minorities in the soccer CCA during my secondary school days. Minorities form the majority for that sport.
Majorities DO face racism, but nobody is acknowledging it.
Yet now only minorities are complaining about racism. And what about the caucasians? You don't see them present here or complaining.

We did have good relations with Islamic countries, but West screwed it up by portraying India as extremely anti-muslim. Western media has an amnesia effect on people.
In my opinion, those who are racist or subconsciously racist are usually pretty uneducated
Your opinion so Long in RUclips or FB means not matter ..
Now, all of you are talking about 'cinaporeaness'. As a young boy, when my China mother sent me to an English(British) school, my poor mum got all the bashings from those Chinese parents who sent their children to a Chinese school. i learnt about this 'Chinese racialism' at a very young age which i am unhappy about. In an English school, you find only multi-racial children studying from all walks of life. My China mother being uneducated spoke to me in Hokkien. Hence, today i have realised only well-educated Chinese speak Mandarin in fact the whole of Communist China is the only highly educated country in the world. Even, a Queen's scholar is not educated unless he is highly educated in the superior language Mandarin. My China mother had made a blundering mistake sending me to an English school. Today, unfortunately "i am UNEDUCATED!" with no regret.
Even the employees make you feel more isolated
The racist men from the majority race in Singapore often target women from minority races while the racist men in Western countries target minority men and spare the women. Are the racists of Singapore more cowardly than the racists of Western countries?
In the case of the 30 year old Chinese man who attacked a 55 year old Indian woman, the racist did not even target a woman his own age but found an easy victim in an old woman. Why was that so? Are Singaporean racists the lowest of all racists?
Think u got the wrong country to whack..is india lah deh..there innocent girl always keep get rape, n killed, n acid burnt, and criminals go Scottfree
Yes they are
Already watch wonder why repost the same video
The odd thing is just over the pond in Malaysia it is the Chinese who are discriminated against by the majority and have the same complaints against racism
@blackbannerz9830 maybe you should bring your sinophobia back to the US, racist.
when people are racist towards the chinese, its ok, but when they fight back its "racism". hypocrites
Racism happens everywhere! At least SG government (includes all races) encourages racial harmony, so more SG respect each other for being different race. most minorities are sensitive when encounter with different group of people. I respect people with high integrity and civilisation regardless of their origin.
Maybe the ones with higher education are noticing racism more because they’ve been indoctrinated in university 🤷♀️ is there a difference in opinion between those who have the same level of education but who got their qualifications at different times e.g. are those who have recently been through uni more aware of racism than those who studied over a decade ago?
What's so casual about racism? Racism is racism.
Come to msia you will see tis everyday from work to food to opinion etc .
Crazy world ☹️
😁
@5:50 she sounds like Filipino.
Well, I can relate to seating down in the MRT and other people around me standing up. It become a norm to a point I found it funny that we, the same people scared of each other just because our races is different😄.
Ya lor its not wrong what! Certain people smelly or too black I don't sit beside them lor my choice. Oh ya I also don't wash my butt because its considered a cleaner habit than being dark skinned or of other non- chinese race hehe
This kind of this just preference hor like I like bananas instead of oranges. You should not shame people for preferences especially if the majority race is doing it....see you made me gave you a lecture
but its ok I like to give lecture to minorities
Then u need mirror check yourself, not the colour for sure,,more of u a thug, a mental illness look kind of patient..whatever..surely not colour
@@privilegedsgboomerstan1433 hahaha yeah dirty butts
Racism is normal..
Some people prefer black coffee
Some people prefer milk
When you mix it, it's latte ...I love latte
What? Are you serious this is so messed up in so many level if you don't want to be a human that's okay don't say that's it's normal dude
Not Singapore too. This kind of manufactured victimhood is ripping the US apart. I hope young Singaporeans are above the nonsense that is currently triggering a massive retrogression in the western world. Young people in SG have no clue how good they have it. You have three major ethnic groups who all value hard work, achievement, peace, family and coexistence. If you feel oppressed in SG in 2021, please realize that millions of people outside SG would give every penny they have to be "oppressed" in SG. Before moving back to Taiwan, I lived in Los Angeles. People shooting other random people for no reason was normal. Attacks by blacks against Asians were so numerous that the news stopped reporting on them because it was so ridiculous and frequent. Don't let SG turn into a land of "oppression" where people manufacture grievances and victimhood as a tool to divide society.
Early years in SG ,being a chinese can often get u suspected of communism . Is that racism ?
hehe uncle is taiwan even a country
heheh maybe because when people like you and me bully them, they kept quiet and that's why SG achieved peace and co-existence? and maybe you and I don't like that they are starting to talk about it? hehe
I keep hearing all these words being repeated: "aggressions", "violent", "trauma", and was expecting something akin to the deadly clashes like in the race riots of the 60's.. But oops, they were just describing what our elders who actually lived through that period would consider mild annoyances at best.
I guess when everybody's racing to showcase themselves as the most helpless victims of oppression, there isn't enough hyperbole in the dictionary to go around.
I'm sure the MP also knows much of this is mostly overly exaggerated accounts but he just plays along.
It's 2021, the oppression Olympics in Singapore
If you compare racism in Singapore vs other Asian countries, it is not comparable. Singapore at least reach somewhat a good racial harmony compare to it's neighboring countries
Oh stfu
Who instigated the race riot in 1960s.
How come the land of south east asia near to Malaysia become majoritarian for Chinese .
🤔
Even never britishers , french , Dutch controlled China and sent migrants to Malaysia or south east asia .
More lip service... paps have been talking bout this but their actions are as usual, too little too late and their policies actually exacerbates the issues, and since most are "scholars" and come from privileged backgrounds, this is the best they will do...talk... you like thoughts and prayers?
Everyone is too sensitive, micro aggression are not aggression, it is a learned helplessness when you are feels indignant or a shout fest between a fool and someone who is standing up to a fool, or an ensuing fight
You may say that, but you would feel the same butthurt when it is hurl to you everyday 😅
i was bullied for my skin colour which affected my entire personality and whenever i look for jobs they always prefer to hire chinese even though the job doesn't require the person to speak mandarin this are real issues minorities have to go through. don't gaslight their experience
so interesting seeing racism from other minorities where as here in the us, asians of all kinds are facing the same issues. I think calling it "chinese" or "white" or even "black" privilege is wrong, its def an issue of majority vs. the minority mentality and it isnt define by specifically race, religion or other.
Being a majority race ie chinese in SG during the early years of self governance ie at the time of David Marshall and PAP got Singapore kick out of the Federation of Malaya. Even Mr. LKY cried out loud and every chinese person in SG was visibly shaken by this news. How racism against the chinese became the success of today. It did made the chinese majority in SG determine to survive against all odds.
@@gha9543 They got kicked out because too many cheenerbahbee were pro PRC & anti Sg & M'sia. M'sia couldn't afford a majority cheenerbahbee federation so they pushed out the federal territory with the largest percentage of descendants of foreign labourers from Tiongkok - Sg. Even when separated the vast majority of these descendants of labourers from Tiongkok were loyal to Mao, not to Sg & not to LKY. LKY used the ISA & Ang Chia to break these orang Tionghua who wanted to destroy our nation. Because of LKY's leadership & the work put in by the Indian Officers & Malay Constables & also with the assistance of the pro-Singapore English-ed Chn, we managed to prevent the total destruction of our nation. Majulah Singapura!
During the Japanese occupation, the Chinese were mercilessly killed by the Japanese soldiers. The Japanese and Chinese were traditional enemies. The Chinese, to escape from the Japanese soldiers, used to hide in the homes of the Tamils and disguised themselves in Indian clothes. The Tamils helped the Chinese families hide in their homes when the Japanese soldiers were killing them. A Chinese family came to hide in my great grandmother's house and a few Japanese soldiers barged in and shot and killed the entire Chinese family right in front of her eyes. My grandmother who was a child also witnessed it. Now they have forgotten their history and have become racist. They would not be here to be racist had the Tamils been racist during the Japanese occupation.
@@gha9543 yayyy yes we succeed because we all hua ren. Not because we got privilege . Preach!
Yes the racism is from the other minorite! We are so kind to them. We don't use words like abnn, we don't talk in mandarin at workplaces to purposely keep them out of conversations, we don't pinch our noses when they sit beside us and treat them so well!!! but they keep calling us privileged leh so sad :(
To be honest Chinese cuisine have more intense smell than south east Asian,Indian or whatever food .
I could even get the smell of sauya sauce if it's far away from me .
Whole China Town has unique and intense smell throughout the alley way in USA .
So don't be hypocrites .
Just saying as a third person .
let's not ignore the anti-chinese racism as well.
Oh stfu
Don't worry. The government is doing their best to destroy the Chinese communist thinking by bringing in Indians from India and other nationalities. Most of the Indians become CEO in Singapore companies such as Starhub, Temasek Holdings, DBS, and many more.
Does smell falls on to racism? MRT should have an acceptable smell requirement before they let someone in.
Your doodoo stinks yea so lets not talk about others.
Nothing done from the Gov on the Chinese privileges issue in Singapore
Politician always protect majority. Simple.
No, they protect the rich and wealthy.
Is funny when opportunity is given to all but too lazy to take up and blamed that on race privilege..
Yes, those blame culture is just the same like most Singaporeans especially the Chinese population who complained about Indians from India and other foreign talents like the Ang Mohs who came here and get top positions in many workplaces. Singaporeans in general, demanded higher pay but refused to work overtime or working under pressure to meet deadline of a project. They should stop blaming the foreigners who contributed to Singapore.
Only one group steps on others to climb. Selfish and arrogant and greedy.. Its obvious who the greedy bacon strips here are. And SG is 70% bacon
@@tkuz5422 Step on others to climb but fall. It is happening everyday in SG and they are being replaced by professionals from the West and India.
The bubble full of ego and ignorance should be bursted
That's the only sol .
Reality world don’t care for no one. Only common we all share is “time”. When your last breath all these meaningless topic mean nothing. Love yourself.
Especially the old people in Singapore are always being left along and ignored because they think that they are right, never wrong. These people seek attention from the younger gens but through wrong method.
Ok ... If you really know what racism is micro aggression mean nothing to me ....

All you Asians have feudal cultures, focused on clans. You deserve each other.
Chinese culture is arguably the most xenophobic but other East Asians are similar. How do you think these cultures kept the ethnic homogeneity so long?
Indians have their caste culture which is equally undeveloped, ancient nonsense.
Enjoy each other
*underdeveloped.
What about South East Asians though?
People used to look up to India in the ancient times. Foreigners used to study in Nalanda university. I remember ancient Chinese called India “civilized” and “center of knowledge”. Scientists and mathematicians of the islamic golden age admired our work. Greeks and Romans also used to look up to us. Good old times. Anglo-Saxons and other Westerners are the reason that South Asians face discrimination worldwide. They ruined our image by portraying us as animal f*ckers, street sh*tters, unhygienic (India needs to work on hygiene, I admit, but man often it is over exaggerated), savages, r*pists, cannibals, scammers, etc. West butchered our reputation. We think South Asians face discrimination because of skin color, but that is not the case. When you are brown, people think you are from South Asia, and South Asia has a bad image. Many Italians and Middle Easterners have light brown to medium olive bronze tone. But, they don't face discrimination. It's all about image. Even light skin Indians face discrimination. Just tell them you are Indian and attitude changes. West spreads a sh*t ton of atrocity literature against Indians. We did have good relations with Islamic countries, but West screwed it up by portraying India as extremely anti-muslim. Western media has an amnesia effect on people.

hmmm
I decided the give a quick look on to Singapur history. I was like 98% sure they were a racist nation/society (not everybody of course) wich is bad since they are a rich and influencial country. And the wealthier and the more powerfull you are, the most the people you affect with your actions. Turns out i was rigth, they are racist but they hate when you bring the matter to the table.
If u choose this country to live in but instead complaining the citizens don’t adapt to your village behaviour..yeah yeah keypad generation
Sorry not for “Indian”, this is majority reply i received when looking for place to stay inside Singapore. Only for Chinese !! Never knew race play big issue in Singapore 🇸🇬.

There is a Chinese saying, 无中声有，此时无声胜有声。Furthermore, if the issues do exists, must be accumulated over time and transformation effort needed from all levels top down and down up to dig out the root cause. Just like a marriage couple, life always fulls of conflicts and if don't solved on the spot, the ultimate path is divorce.. So simple.
Yes, Chinese has many sayings. Very good at talking. 👍🇨🇳
Yes they racist

Minorities in Asian countries gets horribly discriminated for their race and religion. Singapore has racial harmony and the disharmony in Singapore is due to the disparity in wealth and opportunities. Singapore's minorities are well represented in Government and have done well in the private sector.
Traditional careers in Politics,law and banking have minorities in high positions. The minority races have done well compare to their peers in their home countries. Wealth and poverty exist amongst all races and most prevalent amongst the seniors and elderly .
Yep racism in singapore is barely non-existent. You gotta really look for it to find it
@@Oreo-vh7rk If you think racism in Singapore barely exists, then you've been blessed with an environment where you meet saints on almost a day to day basis, or you're just ignorant. People who are malay, indian, an immigrant from Philippines has experienced our own fair share of racism, some microaggression, some are flat out blatant biasness and mistreatment towards us, which is inclusive of being targeted because we belong to a specific ethnic group which is a minority here. I legit faced blatant discrimination and attempted bullying from my schoolmates back in high school due to being filipino. It made me aware of the fact that, even though i'm accepted here as a resident of the country and been given respect by them to some extent, I will never truly stand as equals to individuals who are full of pride, arrogance and racists. That doesn't mean all of Singapore are racist, but the truth is that racism is real, alive and prevalent in Singapore today. Just don't ignore it.
@@yasua0611 sorry you had to experience those horrible things. I don't mean to minimize your experiences, I do experience racism but it's just so far and few between that it had never impacted me that strongly. Like I've been made fun of for my dark skin but it's just by strangers who I'll never meet again
@@Oreo-vh7rk Don't worry about it, I didn't get the impression that you were trying to minimize my experiences. Just letting you know that I do agree that the racism thats prevalent in singapore isn't outright blatant, but rather subtle. But given the perfect set of circumstances to those racists, they will go all out on you like they've been hauling up a lifetime of ammunition to fire right at you.
Singapur merged as The State of Malaysia in 1963. However after political disagreement and RACIAL disputes. Malayssian gouvernment unanimously voted to kick Singapur out of the unión.
I wonder who was the main caused of those RACIAL problems. But if it was Singapur (wich probably was) i really doubt that they have changed so much since then. Specially now that they have power, money and influence.

I actually agreed with you. But commenting about the curry smell does not mean that Indians are smelly. I am not bother with the spice smell on the Indians. When I was young, I thought that the Indians use spice as some sort of cologne or perfume. Hahaha! I guess that I really like that smell! One thing to note through, I worked with young children. When my Indian co-worker bought curry for lunch, she would notice some kids would sneeze like crazy because of the curry (Not a good sign during a pandemic!), so she would have her lunch outside to make it easier for the children. Thankfully, my coworker understands that some Indian spices do irritate other people's nostrils so she understands why certain people reacts so negatively towards the curry smell
why do u assume all indians eat curry that is an assumption not facts
Same with noodles smell or dumplings smell. It's hard to get rid of it

@@laurence82 Learn the difference between a history lesson and a comparison between the good deeds of the Tamils who saved many Chinese lives from the Japanese soldiers and the bad deeds of today's racists of Singapore who must have descended from those who were persecuted by the Japanese soldiers. The Tamils had no obligation do such good deeds and show kindness. Yet they did it out of the goodness of their hearts. It is interesting how the Singaporean society thinks that they totally deserve the ungrateful racist attacks for being kind and not minding their own business and keeping their doors locked from the Chinese during the Japanese occupation.
The minorities in Singapore too aren't innocent in poor race relations. Race riots in Singapore were mostly instigated by the minorities desiring special treatment. Most of the religious extremists who preach preach hatred towards other religions are mostly non-Chinese.
