But first, lighten up for heaven's sake!
That's a broad generalization in itself and i beg to differ.
You don't get to be treated like a stray dog only IF you let yourself be. When the whole population is against you for something you can't change (like ethnicity, religion, language, nationality etc etc.), you really can't do much to help yourself. If only a tiny insignificant minority is against you, you can easily ignore them. But not IF the whole population is.
And I claim that to be true simply becaue of ALL the people I have met in Singapore, no nonwhite singaporean or foreigner ever treated me the same way before they knew my nationality, religion etc etc AND after they knew 'em.
Anyway it's not my intention to fill this board up with how singaporeans or many foreigners (including indians, for example) have been racist towards me.
I included those accounts to provide a perspective of life in singapore that not only many people knew about but thought can not exist. That's about it really. If you look closely sapphire, I don't quite see asking you or any Indian or other folks for help (so it's not quite whining), and I did & will do whatever I need to and however I need to, without whining.
I was just providing a different perspective, which many of you initially thought couldn't be true. And hence this protracted verbal exchange came to being, if you would.
