People became wary when there's bad history when even done by a small group. It's their preventive mechanism. There have been African coming here on student visa, but not attending the college, some are involved in illegal activities. The common complaints with African tenants is, the noise, loud music, and worse, harassing the locals, especially the women. So the best thing you can do is set a good example and reverse the perception.
That's not our job to set example, just do you, and also judge each individual, when white people go to Thailand,I don't see everyone saying they are child molesters????????, even though it's well known that most of the child molesters there travel from UK and America to do their dirty...........
@@frommuddywaters i would not say minority when fidures reach up 80% of them .. its better for the african to change their mindsetnot to scams.. enoughof being loud .. and stop arguing when dues needs to be paid like rentals, grab etc
Couple of years ago, Malaysia was hit by a small group of scammers from Nigeria, and it went viral nationwide, even covered in a documentary on national tv. You're a good guy Tade we all know that. But the scammer group really tarnished the image of Nigerian back then up until recently.
I’m sorry that you experienced such negativities in Malaysia. There are people who do not know how to treat other human beings humanely. Maybe due to previous many horrid stories, Malaysians become more cautious with Africans generally. So I guess it goes both ways. If the Africans who came to Malaysia previously follow the rules of the land and be respectful of the culture and peoples of Malaysia, you will be welcomed like other peoples from other countries.
All I see is that you are a very reasonable person. It was a rather unfortunate experience for you to meet a bus driver that totally ignore you at Putrajaya and house owners that refuse to rent their house to you simply because you are from Africa. Malaysians in general are not alien to foreigners let alone to dark skin people as about 7% of this country population are dark-skinned of Indian origin. So their behavior towards you are not rooted from color-bias but rather, I believe from streotyping due to past experience. It all began when Malaysia started to open up its tertiary education to international students about three decades ago, there were many applicants from Nigeria and some other African countries. At first everything went nicely and orderly, but after several years some cunning prospectors started to abuse the system, they apllied for students visas but upon coming here never appear at their designated institutions, they eventually became illegal immigrants. To make things worse, some of these illegals also involved themselves in illegal drug traficking and many other unlawful or untoward activities that pissed the Malaysians. Although the incidents were not widespread but you know, mouth to mouth exchange of stories plus some exeggeration spread faster and hence the stigmatised streotype againts Africans. BTW, for some reasons or somehow, Africans tend to live in small colonies and indulge in partylike activities such as smoking shisha, I dont know about smoking weed, drinking and loud music into late night much to dismay their neighbors. Early this month (May 2024) an ex footballer from Nigeria was caught by the police for overstaying his work permit while he was partying at such colony.
It's not just Africans who are discriminated against in Malaysia, so are Americans who are classified as black. I was hired as a teacher by email, but as soon as the recruiter received my photo, she suddenly said the position no longer existed. Two weeks later, I visited their website and the same teaching position was there. More than likely they ended up hiring a caucasoid or an asian. Asia is a very racist place just like Europe and the Americas and non-black African nations, like Morocco and Israel.
That’s why it’s important for us black people to stop acting a damn fool everywhere we go. Maybe we can change the perception in for the next few generations 🤷🏾♂️
To me, since 15 years ago African who came to Malaysia did show negative things to local other than dealings business with drugs ( worst things by using female Malaysian as their middlemen! ) Past time, they prefer did opened gathering with drinking alcohol and drunk. Once drunk, they started disturbed local people around them. This always happened at early night to midnight time!!! But, now since few years ago, I hear no more same cases happened by African. I believe most African now are positive good to be good welcomed here. Only some from past time had done unacceptable things without care local way of life. You also looking good to me. Keep in positive as Malaysian no problem if other foreign people do no problem surrounds. 🤝💪👍👍👍
Hi Mr. Tade, welcome to Malaysia. Being black is not a problem to Malaysians but we are just being precautious & making sure that no problem will occur in the future.. A few years bck( this is from my own experience in subang jaya- sunway pyramid), an african distributed drugs to other africans openly at night (outside of Sunway Pyramid shopping mall) n coincidently I was getting out from the parking lot & he stared at me as warning not to tell the police. Another incident in Court 9, USJ subang jaya, a group of africans fought until they bled. The funny part was, the biggest police station in Selangor was just accross the street n they did not care at all. Other incidents, africans love to party till daylight n they are very loud. The conclusion is, Malaysians hv no problem with skin colour but mostly are scared of africans. You have to gain their trust before they can trust african again. But I also knew some good nigerians who work as lecturers in Malaysia & they are doing just fine.
I have a black skin senior when I was in UKM. He was a person that have my full respect. Very smart, very hardworking, very respectful and a guy with few words. We are sorry for the prejudices, but believe me, we judge people by characters. Not by skin color.
I guess what U said about how hard it is to find an apartment is true. Most apartment owners I know avoid renting their units to Africans. It is however not because of the skin colour but rather due to cultural differences. There are many incidents involving Africans having wild parties at pools in apartment complexes until wee hours in the morning, making loud noises etc. Some are even reported caught peeing or taking a dump in the pool while drunk. That creates -ve perception. I know generalisation is bad etc...but that's just how it is. Many still willing to take African tenants after doing some background checks etc. They usually are more willing to rent to those with families. For African singles it can be tricky.
Dont scare....Just ask the local same question, u will got story about demage and problem african doing at malaysia 10 - 20 years ago.So,house owner trauma give permanent resident rental.
in mlysia..just like mny other developed countries in the West...descrimination is somehow illegal. unfortunately some peoples are not fair enough..be it to locals or foreigners. i hope it will be better in time to come.. we welcome everyones who comes legally
Sorry to hear of all these discriminatory experiences in Malaysia. I also apologise for all the insensitive comments here trying to justify these actions, I am embarrassed as a Malaysian to read such ignorant comments. Thank you for sharing your honest thoughts about the country, we still have a long way to go as a society. Hope that things become better for you. Know that there are people like myself who genuinely welcome you. Take care man
I'm Malaysian, sorry to hear this from you, but true Malaysia more conservative, and Malaysia have bad story with Black African in a few years ago like a scam and involved in many crime. Malaysian not rasis, If they know you they will accept you
Malaysian is not racist, the Africans was very welcome to malaysia before, but because of black money a lot of Malaysian was conned and scam, they always argued when come to paying even was agreed earlier be it house rent, taxis, food and etc.. so it has become a trauma for Malaysians.. I am sorry u have to face this problem done by others.. anyway I always enjoyed your vlog
Malaysia is probably in the list of the most racist places I have been to. It really seemed like people look down on folks based on their race while bending over backward when they see someone from the western world. Every race has idiots who commit crime, that does not mean that the entire race should be generalised. Thats like me saying Malaysians should not come to the Netherlands (my country) because they are all terrorsts because one of them is a terrorist.
@@frommuddywatersthat’s not necessarily racist though. It’s believing sterotypes. That doesn’t mean they think black people are beneath them. Many people in the USA will do racist things towards black people as well that I personally witnessed/experienced or heard from my brothers or fathers. Harassment from police, stereotypes, racist comments, locking doors while driving in “black neighborhoods” or by a black person, trouble at airports, bullying, strangers going across the street when walking near to avoid being close. Being pulled over by cops for no reason just to check if they have drugs, even if you’re the passenger, a biker, a pedestrian, or a child walking
Somehow maybe its because of their encounter with past experience that makes them that way.. In contrary some Malaysians not targeted african specifically but Malaysian do somehow faces racism in day to day life..like job openings in chinese company's clearly mention prefer mandarin speaking only and what is that supposed to mean in a country with 70 percent malays..😂😂😂
Bro you're in the wrong country. Thailand and Philippines are much better than Malaysia. Btw, have you noticed Malaysian ethnic groups live a parallel world and don't interact that much?
Yes, agree with you. Each of them lives in their own world and tries to limit themselves to their own race. I'm a Malay and I could feel that. One day I attended a Chinese wedding party and everyone was surprised by a Malay guy attending a Chinese event.
If he wanted to speak spanish, he would've gone to spain or mexico, not some spanish wannabes who worship westerners for their money. 🤣 Thailand is okay. But not the King Philip's island 🫢
Maybe need to show what u do or job so that they understand. as there are some that do not pay the rent and many of them sudden left with many item that we need to clean it back. But u already show what u do and we are more confident. absolutely no racist.
Dude, my only question is why are you comfortable walking inside the road and yet the sidewalk is literally next to you? Should it matter that there was no car coming your direction at that moment? Shouldn’t doing the right thing be the norm regardless??! I’m sure even Malaysians pick up on these tiny tiny things and that’s why.
U seems to be a nice guy. Since u are on this topic, why not do a little bit of research why in Msia there is a difference between black american or british to black africans. Then perhaps u will understand us better. Its not about being black cos there are all kinds of colors here. About people not talking freely, i think we malaysians are reserve cos we respect privacy. But if u ask , i'm sure most will respond. About the bus driver, maybe he had accountered a bad experience from another black african . Lets say black africans leave a bad mark for Msians. So do your research. U are one of the polite ones and rational thinking. Hope u enjoy Malaysia with all the negatives u find in it. No where is perfect in this world.
Sorry most of them worried to rent their apartment to you not because you are black but maybe thy know you from nigeria maybe? because here hve many cases nigerians doing drug, stab his own friend and etc...
Learn the culture of Malaysia first. African cuture is considered rough and loud.So get to know some mysians to let them know that you are ok.We only know fr medias.American black culture potrayed in medias doesnt appeal and frighten most malaysians .Learn and understand our culture and you should adapt the culture then you will be all right.See how people of different races interact.Each race has their own culture and they respect other cultures.Mutual respect is very important in a multiracial country.The Malay(muslim) ,Chinese, and Indian community .We live in peace and harmony since birth.
Some one should make a video about being Asian in Africa. How they treat people of Asian origin in country like Nigeria. However sadly, even being black in Africa not necessarily will be a guarantee that you will be treated kindly. There are many cases of black killing black in Africa. Not to mention the gangs culture in the US, UK etc. African people must stop playing victims wherever they go. Respect the local cultures and make sure you have knowledge to contribute then you will be alright
Please stop, how can you generalise, that's ridiculous, each person is an individual, but reality is blacks are pre judged wherever they go, facts , and so are whites( they are innocent??) yet people from them have caused crazy havoc in this world, even my white friends admit that , being a black , make people judge you a certain way , it's just facts, I'm no victim, I'm very ok , it even pushed me more in life, to become my own boss,soi don't have to deal with prejudice, while not able to leave the job, but as a business man, I just tell them to " get out of here"
You have to understand Malaysia is a racist country. If you ask any Malaysian specifically Malay, they will say "No Malaysia is not racist" but yet we have educational institutions like UiTM that literally prevents Malaysians of certain ethnic backgrounds from enrolling. Racism is systemic and entrenched in every government linked organizations in Malaysia. So, it is only natural for them to extend the racism toward people of other ethnic origins specifically darker skinned people.
Same goes with prefer Mandarin speaking in job openings..haha..don't know what's the point to enroll in uitm if you can't speak melayu with..furthermore all this while you guys hina and kutuk uitm now suddenly wants to enter..what a joke😂😂😂
Hi, very nice video, very informative, I really like it. Do you have some email adress where i can reach you so that we could chat about some question that i have ? Anyway thank u for this video ❤

The small minority is not obliged to change the narrative. You need to change your racist mindset.
@@frommuddywaters i would not say minority when fidures reach up 80% of them .. its better for the african to change their mindsetnot to scams.. enoughof being loud .. and stop arguing when dues needs to be paid like rentals, grab etc
@frommuddywaters asking to stop scam is a racist. Well, that playing victim card when even caught scaming red handed does not work
Couple of years ago, Malaysia was hit by a small group of scammers from Nigeria, and it went viral nationwide, even covered in a documentary on national tv. You're a good guy Tade we all know that. But the scammer group really tarnished the image of Nigerian back then up until recently.
That means you must be consistent, UK citizens have been well known to get caught in south east Asia for Child molestation for years
The biggest scammers are Indians, Sri Lankans, All Asian Cointries including Malay 😂

Be an innocent law abiding citizen for just one day, then travel the world, and i guarantee your whole perspective will change,
