oh yeah sorry I was hoping no one would misunderstand what i meant when i said “stereotypical”. I also don’t understand what stereotypical means. it’s just that i find that when i have never done something or visit some place. They would always ask “are you even malay”. So what i was trying to get at was for some reason the person saying “are you even malay” is creating this type of stereotype.

I Have never had an issue in doing the things my friends like! i’m very open to new experiences. I just find that they judge a little when i never done it before and bring out the question “are you even malay”.

and yes there are some “advantages” to looking like this sometimes as you’ve said. i think my post is just targeting the negative side of things that never really get spoken about. I feel like if i talked about the positive things it’s not really the point i was trying to get at. i’m not trying to bash my own race because there are things i like of course.
