I'm not a particularly culturally 'in-tuned' Malayalee, but the more I volunteer in ethnic Indian spaces in Singapore, the more I feel like non-Tamils are there just to be token minority-minorities.

Yeah Tamils went to the Straits Settlements mostly as labourers so it was the lower classes, only Indian emigrant community I know involved majorly in crime and so on. That said all Tamils there aren't dark lol.

Anyway even among pakis its mostly just one group who lost their land to a dam and bongcels took in a ton as refugees, they are called mirpuris and were all basically inbred goat fricking mountain men of the afghan sort(they were used as cannon fodder by pakis in first kashmir war,
pretty odd how their race was apparently punished for that treachery by losing their own land and then the bongcels who helped pakis on kashmir had to deal with their subhumanity for decades after 
Almost like there's really karma lmao).

Cause they are burger brained and see race as the only identity. In the old world, most enmities are intraracial, races usually have geographic barriers separating them so interracial rivalry is mild.

Jump in the discussion.

In the British Empire, they had Indians do most of the work. Certain kinds of Indians would be the soldiers, others the administrators. The police were Sikhs. Tamils were brought in for less-skilled labor if there was a shortage somewhere. So you end up with Indians in Uganda, Malaysia, Hong Kong, etc.

There weren't many people living there at the time. So some Indians were brought in and some Malays from nearby, but most of the population came from China. In Malaya when there was a boom in rubber and tin in the early 1900s they did the same thing.

Incidentally I had a Smellu roommate briefly what the FRICK do they do to smell that bad? He brought 2 of his Smellu friends over once and I literally could not stay in the room. His mattress was a biohazard, I used a stick to prod it away if I had to move it. One time I had to lift it, I went around gathering plastic bags and lifted it that way. Celebrated with pizza and alchohol with my other roommate the day that fricker left.

I'm on a project with a chinese singapore student and when we talked about her homeland she complained that she wished only chinese people lived here, hates malays and that she has to live in a place where there are mandatory flats for malays and indians (just dont be poor and buy your own place lmao).
Is this a common sentiment?
Jump in the discussion.
No email address required.
Lol is she from a sheltered background? I know that some of my college mates from the "elite" schools don't get to interact with Malays/Indians because those schools only cater to those studying mandarin as their mother tongue so they might get a culture shock when they step out into society? I... really don't know, I did sports where the chinks were the minority so I guess that helped, but I've really not seen people advocating for some chinese ethnostate or anything and honestly that idea seems very cringe to me
But I don't know, maybe she was bullied badly or something but it's still a weird position for a Singaporean to take. I mean even my late grandparents were chummy with the Malay and Indian folks...

There was also another novela about China (i.e. Macau, where Braziloid brainlets think that they still speak Poortuguese), the only thing I remember about it was the Kung Fu Triad fight scene in the beginning, because we Macacochads can be racist and get away with it!
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neg%C3%B3cio_da_China
I just find it very weird how there still hasn't been a novela with a Japan gimmick (as far as I am aware of), given how much omnipresent Japanese immigrants have been in Brazil for over a century, my first thought is that pretty much all Brazilians are already somewhat familiar with Japanese shit, and Japanese-Brazilians are already very assimilated to Macacostan society, so making a novela about Japan isn't as exotic or interesting to Brazilians.

Naw, there's actually a wide spectrum of brown when it comes to Indians, and it's pretty important to them - to the point where they will even use skin lightening products like Michael Jackson did. You know how Indians used to have an economic caste system? Well, that caste system used to line up awfully closely with skin color. So basically the darker you are in India, the more likely it is that your family used to be lower caste.
My understanding is that they're currently in the process of breaking down those stereotypes in much the same way as the civil rights movement for blacks started in the U.S. but unlike us they haven't yet achieved full equality yet so it's still a very sensitive topic).
