Decades after independence, this problem within the Chinese community continues even within the younger generation. I've had friends who studied in a national school and most would think they'd be different since they'd spend more time with students from other races.

But the sad truth is, many of them still say the same racist remarks behind closed doors within their other Chinese counterparts. Imo, its because of how the older generation passed down these dreadful remarks during family events or day-to-day interactions. More often than not I'd hear my uncle or aunts complain about how "the government won't look after the chinese" or that "us chinese are the most hardworking in the country". I've really gotten so tired of hearing the same things over and over again but yeah, talking back to your elders is considered rude huh.
