Guys narrow them down to three reasons please , even if you have a ton of reasons. thanks
Oh Altind...haha. I wonder if its close enough to produce little Altinds?DeiraBoy said:@ huaiwei - what do they think of chinese folk? hmm...i'll be honest here, some are alright with them like our friend Altind seems to be :runaway:
others seem to have this view that China is a dirty place, outbreak of SARS didn't do its image any good u see, but thats China only. I know MANY people who love visiting the far east and have been to places like Japan, Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand and Indonesia. I know many too who were previously Europhiles but after visiting those places just stopped travelling to Europe and went for Asia instead, they loved it that much. I personally haven't been to any places east of the UAE (although one day i hope to), but I have a Singaporean friend, who incidentally is of Chinese origin and he HATES China. I however, respect the Singaporeans. I respect how theyre clean, organised and friendly as my good friend is. Most of his friends are the same too so thats how Singapores picture is painted in my mind at the moment.
Now that makes sense then. I can tell you the "Mainland Chinese", ie, Chiense nationals who are in Singapore for various reasons are sometimes looked upon negatively, but for slightly different reasons. Mainland Chinese men tend to come here uneducated and uncouth, and work as construction or other blue collor jobs, so they are sometimes viewed in the same way as Bangladeshi workers, for example.DeiraBoy said:oh no he is ethnic chinese and was born and raised in singapore and has had generations living in Singapore

And could you tell me in what way should my comments offend you?Dhakar Odhibashi said:now huaiwei I'm deeply offended by your comments. Quite a constrast to the beautiful singapore that appears in the various shots, isn't it? Any explanations?
Anniyan's comments are proven wrong without a shadow of a doubt. Huaiwei, frankly I'm having a hard time not hurling obscenities at your ******* nation....you get the drift, just from the ****** out words, right?
Singapore's the only racist nation that I've heard of in modern times. It's a total total total shame....in this day and age, for someone to openly proclaim the way you do about others.....shame on you..
huaiwei said:And could you tell me in what way should my comments offend you?
I simply relate how Chinese nationals are sometimes being viewed amongst the populance here. Sometimes....ie, not all the time, not towards all Chinese nationals, and not by every Singaporean. You seem to take my comments completely out of context, dont you?
What did you mean by "..they are sometimes viewed in the same way as Bangladeshi workers, for example..."? How do Singaporeans view Bangladeshis?huaiwei said:I can tell you the "Mainland Chinese", ie, Chiense nationals who are in Singapore for various reasons are sometimes looked upon negatively, but for slightly different reasons.

I state what I observe, and yes, that is precisely what happens here. Singaporeans do have a tendency of showing discrimination against foreign construction workers in general, because of perceived notions of them commiting crimes and harrasing women (yet statistics show they hardly do so any more often than other social groups). For Bangladeshis and South Asians in particular, their perceived lack of personal hygiene, and their usage of certain oils in their hair puts off locals, and that even includes local ethnic Indians.Dhakar Odhibashi said:What did you mean by "..they are sometimes viewed in the same way as Bangladeshi workers, for example..."?

What I gathered from your comment was Singaporeans discriminate against Bangladeshis on account of their nationality alone.
I am surprised you have the gall to open your mouth even after being from a nation that is openly racist.
lol i can imagine...PakistanUnited said:BUT Pakistanis overate dubai
...lolwhere's dubai?
True true. In fact, I also see the same thing in the way some HKers view Mainland Chinese.neon said:@huaiwei
歧视在哪里都有,东南亚人(包括汉人)在中国大陆也会遭到歧视
很多北方人视东南亚人(有时甚至包括中国南部的一些省份的居民)为“畸形人”,认为他们是“黑、瘦、小、穷和未开化”的代名词
对于这个情况我是知道的,但一直羞于言表...
