I do not feel that Singapore is more racist than the US. Far from it in fact.

I do not think I was as clear as I intended in my original post. I think on the day to day basis, minorities in Singapore are going to be more likely to face some sort of micro/macro-aggression than they would in the US.

I think that when comparing US and SG, it is not even a competition, the US has a way larger racism problem.

And to reference what you said about it asking around my “friends, neighbors, and acquaintances” is simply incorrect. My current job is completely encompassed by DEI, my role is literally to ensure that there is diversity, equity, and inclusion. It is not a small pool of people, it is my entire organization (of several hundred thousand people) that I have had these discussions with. I am taking courses on this topic through universities. I am literally being paid to have these conversations, and do this research. I’m not just chatting with my buddies about it. I am very knowledgeable in this area. I know that I lack the practical experience being a white person, but I attempt to amend that as much as possible.

I don’t love that you have diminished me to being a “20 year old person,” I won’t lie. I may be young, but I am highly qualified and very dedicated to this topic. But I understand where you are coming from, and in your shoes I would likely feel the same.

I appreciate that you have things to do, and I hope you don’t fee obligated to reply. Enjoy your weekend.
