Hian Boon was brought up in Singapore and Chaorui in China. But when asked what he thought was so different about her, Hian Boon's only reply was: “Our hair is of different lengths."

Insulting people eating with hands is just like uniting the whole Asia against you.

[@jeanneann3545]

@@AMY-zo2pr To be honest, as a southeast asian (not Singaporean, but close) who also eat with hand, its because people have a lot of prejudice against us 10 or so years ago. 'You eat with your hands when you use your hands to clean your butt?' 'Eew, its dirty, use the spoon!' 'Dont you feel disgusted at all?' 'Barbarian!' Yes. This is the actual words I have seen people commented years ago, when being open minded is not a huge thing. Like excuse me then Susan, you cleaned your butt with paper but I dont judge you for that. What did you even use to eat burger? Spoon and fork? Knife? People act as if we touch dusty, disgusting things with our hand and touch our foods without even washing our hands. People like to discriminate people from other culture/race/country. One of the Indian girl in my country (my country have a lot of races) goes to well known university in western country (forgot what is it though, it was years ago), she was a very smart girl, probably in psychology major if im right. She got bullied so bad because shes indian eventhough shes not even from India. In the end she commited s. And the uni just pretend it never happened. The family fight for years and last time I checked they still didnt get justice. I think this was around 2015 or so. The case is so painful I just erase it from my memory. This is one of the reason why in my teen years I tried so hard to pass as east asian girl instead of southeast asian girl because south and southeast asian just got a lot of hate for no reason at all.

What I like is all kids r open minded . In Most schools kids just form cliques by race and teachers put down immigrants as inferior . Zero cultural exchange in the school curriculum . I was open minded before because I am from mixed heritage although I am 100% Chinese . My grandma was born in Thailand . Dad in Vietnam . Mom Indonesia . Grandpa from China . I myself from France . I travelled to SG and HK and China many times . Unfortunately i gained zero acceptance because ppl just couldn’t accept my identity. When I tried to find similarity to a group they pointed out our difference right away . I spoke fluent Cantonese yet ppl saw me as Vietnamese or mainland Chinese or south Asian . I spoke French ppl saw me as a new immigrant . I spoke manadarin I was seen as a honkongnese . It’s so crazy . I couldn’t keep up with friendships because I wasn’t seen as their own kind . You have to meet really extremely open minded ppl to feel accepted . You are always being put on a test by others to gain their trust . I hope the new generation will be more and more open minded culturally . When u dun have a sense of belonging it’s quite lonely you feel u dun exist . But it’s ok in the end I stopped depending on ppl to feel I’m included. You make a few open minded friends it’s enough .

Idris is gonna be successful in the future... with his confidence... damn

[@jagodatomczak6400]

I'm in a similar position to Alina, just a bit older hahah. I'm so proud of her for managing to learn chinese and taking russian where i had to take a different language instead of it. MOE however does have problems with the MT system, where foreigners are given very narrow options and some are forced to take other languages even if they are vastly different from their own (big example is pinoys taking french). I'm glad she's thriving though :)

very easy adjust one.. i was P2 when i first transferred to a Singapore school from Brazil, after one year can fit in very easily already

It’s good children are exposed to people from all different walks of life! Hope they’ll grow more tolerant because of that!

I love this video. I'm Indian American myself, so this definitely resonates with me.
