Reply With QuoteHuh, there goes another stereotype. You should visit that casino skyscraper thing you guys are building, and tell me what it's like.
Lol, honestly, we're not that uptight about gum. I have class mates who have a supply of them at home. It's not all that hard to bring them over the causeway.

Marina Bay Sands, right? I've been to the convention center for a cosplay event once, then to the mall (In full costume, rifle and all. XD The kids were so entertained.). It's nice, but very high class and expensive. Not my kind of place. It's $100 to enter the casino as well, and that's even if you just want to pass through it to go to the sky garden (Or so I've heard). Not worth the money, if you ask me. =\
Oh, another stereotype? When it comes to listening to orders, we complain a lot, but ultimately we do it. Other than that, you have your standard Malay, Chinese or Indian stereotypes that I really can't go into without becoming too racist.
Maybe the Chinese ones. It's not racism if it's against your own race, right?

$100? Damn, that's pretty expensive, but to me, it should be worth it.
It's not racism if you go against your own race, that is correct. It's just poking fun at the shortcomings of our race, that's all.
I've never heard of Malaysian stereotypes though, only Indian, Chinese, Mexican, American, British, and such.

Not Malaysian. Malay. Man, if I go into the stuff people in my school discuss, I'd be arrested for causing trouble. XD It's happened before, so I guess it isn't that funny.
General rule of thumb, though (At least for schools), it's alright to make racial comments in the presence of someone of that race, provided they are your friend. If they laugh, you're clear. If they ask you to stop, stop. Otherwise, you're liable to get punched.

Oh, so it's like Cambodia, who like to be called Khmer instead of Cambodians? I understand now. Back in America, racist comments are literally everywhere, and people don't really give two damns anymore. Even if they're all "Hey chink!" to me. I just don't really care anymore, hehe.

Malaysians are people from Malaysia. The ethnic group is Malay, so you can have Malaysian Chinese, the same way you have Singaporean Malays. My ethnic group is Chinese, you can call me Chinese for short, but I'm Singaporean. The correct way would thus be Singaporean Chinese. That's actually a big thing. Right now there's this huge collective feeling of xenophobia against the China Chinese. Problem with immigration and jobs. Can't say I disagree with their reasons, but outright xenophobia isn't the way to go.
The official government stance on racism here is 'don't'. There're cases of a few people making racist comments on their blogs and being jailed for it.

China's one of those places where it's great if you're rich, but it's downright horrible if you're poor. I mean, I'm Chinese to a certain extent, but I'm also an American. I do get it, since you're from Singapore, and you're Chinese as well, thus making you Singaporean Chinese. It's pretty much the same, making me Chinese-American. I wouldn't really blame China's government either, since their population is absolutely gigantic, and they don't want a bunch more people coming in.
That's media censorship for you, buddy.

Yeah, media censorship. My sister's campaigning against it, but I wish she'd keep it down until after I'm through with national service. I don't want to go in being marked as the sibling of a troublesome activist. ._.
Haha, I hope it doesn't offend you, but we call Chinese people born in the USA ABCs or Bananas. The latter also refers to Chinese people who try excessively to be westerners. Bananas are yellow on the outside but white on the inside. XD I've known that since I was a kid in Primary school.

I call myself a twinkie instead, since I like twinkies, and well, I'm delicious, although I'm not extinct yet. My dad told me that ABC thing, lol.
Media censorship is an unnecessary waste of money with the government. Why spend millions of dollars censoring people on the media, when you can spend on roads, or the education system? I don't get certain goverments' mindsets, it's completely confusing. Why not just let the media be free, like a bird! I should be careful about what I say right now, since I'm currently in Vietnam.
