  1. Yea, but the thing is that they are agreeable to the racism to begin with. Their deflection was most likely out of courtesy to you.

  2. Well... good source of supplementary income

  3.  @sidewinder3422  Yes, but that is not what he said

  4. Nah. There is a hyper majority of supporters amongst its population. It is somewhat similar to the slavery issue in the US. Most comments will be against it. It is that partisan

  5. Dude, 10 pounds. That is way too fat. You are not being reasonable. Physical beauty is a legitimate job requirement for acting, one of the few legitimate such job requirements.

  6. Easy come, easy go. When it is your time to go, then go

  7. Er... Africa is not exactly in a position to refuse.

  8. Presumably people disagree with the position taken by the video

  9. The first 2 tiers are acceptable, i.e. Whites and Chinese. Bottom tier of blacks are rejected. That is how the racial structure is assigned.

  10. Presumably because they seek special treatment in the school. And the school doesn't give a crap about their opinions, and instead expect them to fall in line and obey. Which I think is quite natural

  11.  @Traumatised311  Yes, random chance does indeed play a part in life. Nonetheless, making good decisions is good.

  12. Send them to the hospital for therapy instead? To improve their emotional and mental stability

  13.  @mshoney9301  Yes, you are

  14.  @mshoney9301  I disagree that victim blaming sucks. She had it coming.

  15.  @mshoney9301  Er... victim blaming equals racism? Sigh. And here I thought you were making somewhat of a good faith effort. Guess you are just another childish extremist. (In my culture, we often victim blame robbery victims as having it coming too. You are either delusional or very unaware of other cultures)

  16.  @goldbluetears  Nah. We don't give a shit about what you think. It is not exactly as if Africans have the power to coerce significant change
    1
  17.  @goldbluetears  Yes, there is quite a bit of trade. But it isn't exactly on terms as equals. Realistically, Africa has negligible influence and power. The outside world can do as it wishes

  18.  @motolomalatse8641  Sure, that is indeed a view that many people enjoy holding. But you and I know that while enjoyable, it is not true.

  19. @Morgen Into what? Somebody unable to think logically? If you go to a hyper racist country, you will encounter racism.

  20.  @Bono-nm5qx  Hmm. You are just a idiot. No getting around that

  21.  @Bono-nm5qx  Nah. I was just mirroring your nonsense comment, that is all.

  22.  @Bbyluvusa  Nah, I enjoy being so. Why else would I behave so?

  23.  @coriolisky  What foolishness. If you stick your head into a lion's mouth, you should entirely expect something. The ability to judge and anticipate a situation is a human skill. People are entitled to be rude, this is a basic human right. It is a separate issue from mutual cooperation by consenting adults. It is a pity that you lack the ability to understand such a distinction.

  24.  @coriolisky  People are allowed to be not nice to others. This is a fundamental human right of existence. You do not have the power to force others to be nice to you, nor should you.

  25.  @amer_767ab8  The difference between the two parties is that the Koreans were on their homeland, whereas she is an intruder. Therefore, I fault her for her misconduct while am accepting of the Koreans.

  27. Downvoted. I agree with the medical content and the people interviewed, with one major exception. The dance teacher is factually overweight (based on the available footage), and she herself acknowledges the shortfall. You shouldn't be too thin, but you shouldn't be too fat either. Speaking as a fat dude. I mean, come on, where is reality here on that fat dance teacher?

  28. Hmm. Have you considered the statistics aspect where brown men are generally not admitted into NUS to begin with? If there are no brown men, how the hell can there be brown rapists? Like, dude... ...

  29. That is because you don't attend funerals of high ranking officials. Their funerals do in fact cover their service to the country

  30. She doesn't look that good. Speaking as a man of Chinese racial heritage, within the context of our cultural and racial norms. Not sure if you are being insincere or just have a very different perspective

  31. Well, you really shouldn't be proud.

  32. Doesn't seem like a reasonable take on this racial issue. For literally thousands of years, it has been the accepted notion in China that these Blacks are inferior. In the absence of a sharp external environmental force, this cultural norm will almost certainly remain. You simply have to accept it for what it is, if you choose to be within China.

  33. As for those Chinese women who select Black partners, it is natural and normal that their countrymen are highly hostile to them. Someone who so sharply steps out of their societal and cultural norms are to be suspected, in such a collectivist culture.

  34. ​ @sepirophswife1072  Correct, that is because within the Chinese cultural context, Whites are seen as being of quality, whereas Blacks are seen as an inferior people. Therefore, what is acceptable for one race to do is unacceptable for another race to do, in the eyes of these Chinese people. Wrong, that is what I am explaining. This discrimination against dark colouration existed prior to modern contact with the western world. It was from ancient times.

  35. ​ @sepirophswife1072  The Holocaust was rather unusual though. It was literally a unique event in human history. Correct. The Ukrainians should accept that the Russians want their land. And either they hand it over meekly, or they fight. Nah. If the discrimination is for a logical valid reason, then you should be calm and accepting of it. If you are a Black and the employer is not allowed to ask if you went to prison, then logically he should suspect you. This is how statistical discrimination works. You use mathematics to make better decisions.

  36.  @sepirophswife1072  Some people are more racist, some people are less racist. Some people are more easily offended, some are less easily offended. We all have our personal views and thoughts.

  37. ​ @sepirophswife1072  I am explaining that racism can be because of good and valid reasons. Racism need not be simply because of pure hatred. It can be to improve economic efficiency, to improve your own personal lives, to reduce the chances of a bad tenant, a employee who will steal from you. Statistical discrimination allows you to lead a better life. Don't you want to lead a better life?

  38.  @sepirophswife1072  I disagree. The discrimination against Blacks are for good and valid reasons, and not "weird". We wanna make money and be rich. Discrimination against Blacks is part of that
    1
  39. ​ @sepirophswife1072  It may or may not be offensive. But it is ok to offend Black people. Sure, if one day Chinese tourists become polite, then we should assume that Chinese tourists are polite. And if one day Black people are high in SES and income, then we should assume that Black people are high in SES and income. If reality changes, our opinions should change. But for now, let's discriminate against Black people.

  40.  @sepirophswife1072  Understood

  41. No, obviously that is not uniform enough. You don't call the attire semi-uniform, right? They are called uniform
    1
  42.  @lindyashford7744  Sure, the ancient Chinese generally had little knowledge of Black people. My point was that Black people are inferior due to the colour of their skin, as the colour Black is deemed inferior. Actual awareness that Black people exist is not necessary. It is a colouration thing.

  43.  @lindyashford7744  Oh, ignore the quote marks, my bad for that Yes, since your Chinese community was so small, perhaps you lost touch with your heritage
    1
  44.  @lindyashford7744  Oh wait. I misunderstood your comment, you phrased it a bit confusing for me. Yes, those Chinese may have been more polite. Or it is possible that their forefathers left China so many years ago that they merged into their host culture and therefore do not retain such a position anymore

  45. Lolz. Without their foreign aid, how are you even going to survive? Not to mention foreign trade.

  47. Maybe a nicer way to put it would be to ban the lowly W Pass and S Pass from renting in your ad, and state Singaporeans and the elite E Pass migrants only
    1
  48. Hmm. Actually after reading the comments, probably just ban those foreigners from poor countries altogether. Whereas Chinese and Indians who are citizens are still welcome. It makes sense that foreigners have foreign practices
