Do you think racism exists in singapore?

• Answer:

  Racism exist everywhere, I guess that's the common theme here & we have seen several responses to that extend. Having lived as a student and gained employment in the US, Mexico and even for a short time in China, I can tell you, racism is at a minimum in Singapore for Singaporeans regardless if they are Chinese, Malay or Indian Singaporean. And you know what, that's how it should be. The government job is to provide for its people. Do you as a nation want to be compared to the USA. Oh, I know....everyone thinks the world of them. Levis jeans, F16 jets, man on the moon, war in Iraq etc etc. But guess what folks, the great US provides more benefits for an illegal immigrant than an American national. People flood across the border, gives birth to a child, take advantage of the welfare system. A nation where they don't even have a national language. Ahhh, so you think in America they speak English?. Only in the movies. China took great pains to make Mandarin (and in India they made Hindi) the official language because they realize 'united a society stand, divided it falls'. Yet in the US, they take great pains to make English non compulsory. The only good thing about nations that preach "Freedom & Equality" (e.g USA) is they have land. Give them 20 more years and they will screw that up too. Their society demands it. I want to response to the answer posted above about the Phillipine worker not getting her fair shake. Is she even legally entering Singapore?. Believe me people, when your government protects your job security and makes the citizen feel protected, its a good thing. Ya ya, we can all take 'Humanitarian classes' but if you have been to the US & take away all the glitter it has, you can see cracks in the very fabric of its society and government. By the way, OJ got away because he was afro-america not because he was innocent...now that's racism.
