Singaporeans and Caucasians

I do mean, by and large... not some generalisation, any more than "Singaporeans by and large are Chinese" or "Singaporeans, by and large, love good food". I put it down to the fact that its usually so safe, you don't have to pay attention to where you are going... and therefore people are easily distracted here...

I saw on a previous post about an anti-white hate group, called quality-nation.com and after looking at it, I was curious where the domain was registered so I did a whois lookup. And where was the racist anti-white website registered? America! After all, a Singaporean can't speak his mind in his own country...he has to travel to the "inferior society" of the white people in order to have the freedom of speech to complain about the "inferior society" of the white people. Ironic!

i think most singaporeans feel resentful of white people here as a consequence of the injustices done to them by "the white masters" during the colonial period, as is the case with any other ex-colony. at least they're not killing and pillaging white-owned property and their white owners, which is what happened in sub-saharan africa after apartheid was abolished.

another reason is the socio-economic issue. many white expats here are on very good salary packages and enjoy high-falutin' lifestyles, and who belong to that marketing segment called "high-end", "luxury-class", and "high net worth individual". (of course i am aware that there are also many white expats on the equivalent of local pay as well but for the sake of discussion, we're only looking at the highly-paid white expats here.) Now in ANY society from the 1st world to the next, there will definitely be resentment towards the "haves" from the "have-nots". So singapore is no different from any ohter society.

No it is not the expat package or the high living, it is the attitude of the white expats that is making local resentful. We are asian expat from next door with good package too. And we are very welcome by locals here be it at work or outside work place. We live easily among them.

It is the attitude of the white that making most asians sick of them. Not the package you get arsehole.

Agree with the previous post. It seems that asia expats are more in tune with the locals than the white expats.

Well you can feel free to go back to China as well chap. Singapore is much like the States as it was "settled" by foreigners. We caucs feel we have the right to settle in Singapore to better our children's futures, the same way your families did. Get used to it as America loses its way and China gains, many of us want our children to be able to work with the Chinese.

Hi!

I would like to suggest you very much to fight racism and nationalism as much as you can.

My origin is Bosnian and I didnt experience the Bosnian war as did my relatives who lived there but I can assure you that the war is something terrible.

It started with giggling and insulting of each other because they belonged to different nation or religion.

At the end we countd 250.000 dead people...

It started with giggling and insulting of each other because they belonged to the other group. Coz they were different.

Demonstrating emancipation - by make fun of foreigners. In fact they display their inferiority and lack of maturity which is still deep rooted - for some inexplicable reason. Pitifull.

As long as foreigners and locals continue not to interact with each other and not mutually put in effort to understand each other better, there will always be conflicts like this.

I'm a S'porean, living in Singapore but unlike most, I had travelled overseas quite frequently over the last 5 years for holidays, work etc etc. I understand how the systems work overseas. I also have friends who are Americans, Europeans, chinese nationals etc.

So I've little resentment towards foreigners- because I make the effort to understand, and they, me as well.

But if foreigners don't treat locals with mutual respect and continue to display the 'colonial, racist' subtle attitudes to Singaporeans and S'poreans to foreigners, then we will continue to sling mud at each other- which only makes thing worse.

Don't you agree? But in any case, a lot of Singaporeans simply don't have money to travel overseas, so when they see foreigners, especially westerners, they get wrong ideas. That's why both foreigners and liberal Singaporeans constantly needs to reach out and make the effort.

Critising one's different culture is not gonna work, mate.

Hi marc

I think it's only a minority who display such emotions in public. I am a Singaporean and I feel that majority of us treats caucasians as just somebody else you meet when you are out.
