About the show:
Singapore’s harmonious race relations has often been cited as one of its most remarkable achievements. But where do we really stand on race relations? Janil Puthucheary, chairperson of Onepeople.sg, the body that promotes racial harmony in Singapore, goes on a journey to find out what Singaporeans think. From conducting one of the largest nation-wide surveys, to having difficult conversations, the film sets out to pose the profound question on how we should confront our inherent biases.

for those who are having trouble understanding the experiment, this is about most of the "privilege" people receive is NOT based on race, but being a part of the majority. If you used this same experiment in Africa, black people would be a the front of the room, if you did this in America or England, white people would be at the front, if you did this in japan, Japanese people would be at the front and so on......

@@kawaii33366 is that an example white privilege, though? Is a Chinese or Indian person more likely to be viewed with suspicion in a store than a white person? I think it's unlikely they would, so I would categorise that as racial discrimination/ stereotyping against black people than an example of white privilege. The concept of black and white neighbourhoods is a little bit alien to me as I'm English and there is far more mixing between races where living arrangements are concerned. That isn't to say that predominantly white and predominantly black neighbourhoods don't exist at all, just that - in my home city at least - it's not the norm. There are perhaps just two neighbourhoods in my city that fit that description, and even then there are significant minorities of both races in each. I myself grew up in a working class neighbourhood that was approx 50/50 white to black/ other. Went to a school that reflected the local community as well. This is quite normal in multicultural parts of England. In England the value of your property will be affected more by social class and quality of housing stock and local school than colour, though it's true to say that a black person is more likely to live in a working class or deprived area than an affluent one. Perhaps white privilege, if it does exist, is more applicable America than elsewhere.

Honestly they're barking at the wrong tree. It isn't "white privilege" but rather "rich privilege". Also, there's a ton of factors that can influence the results of the experiment, if the white man is; gay, poor or uneducated. They would be facing similar instances of discrimination. So imo this isn't about race but about money...just like everything else in this world.

But it is a privilege to have the boss the same race as you. You can connect to them better. Perhaps it’s saying this because most bosses are white. Also the video wasn’t about racism it’s about privilege. May seem the same to you, but it’s slightly different. Privilege is caused because of racism, but the actual privilege isn’t the fault of the people who are privileged in this case per se.

If the person experiencing this has a problem, why did they accept the job? What is the point of this video? If it was reversed, a white man working for a say an Indian boss, is it unfair for them to not be able to fully connect culturally? I don't think so. If you are a smart boss (which most are), it doesn't matter where any of your employees come from or what they culturally represent, it matters how effective they are at doing their tasks. So what, it makes the employee feel better with the same heritage of their boss? That is being a racist. The free market doesn't care about color of skin, and expecting results to be equally diverse is amoral.

We know how fortunate we are and are willing to allow others the chance to also have a prosperous and privileged life. What about my country Canada? We were not part of that event that “overthrew your government and dumped thousands of firearms into the hands of militants” or whatever thing your talking about but we and Justine Trudeau has humbly accepted thousands of Syrian refugees into our countries. I as an immigrant here born from Asia would not be in a western country if it wasn’t for the kind and generous mindsets of Europeans and the western society. Let that sink in.

No one is shaming the winner. We're acknowledging the ones that aren't privileged so we can do something about it in our day-to-day lives. I've grown up in Ethiopia and haven't experienced any of these until I moved so I would be in the front. And that means I am grateful. There is no reason for the person in the front to take it personally. it doesn't make sense. Ignoring others' problems doesn't fix it. These are necessary so we can see what happens to people around us without experiencing it. It opens our eyes. Ignorance is the reason. This still happens.

75% of the statements (9 out of 12) in this "Social Experiment" DO NOT reflect actual privilege. Here are my individual comments on each statement to discuss my personal thoughts on the topic. 1. In the last one week, I have seen an advertisement with a model of the same race as me. INVALID: It is expected that advertisements and marketing strategies would appeal to a target audience which is at most times, the majority. As long as no one is forcing you to purchase products you don't like or perhaps, stopping you from buying things you like, then this will does not prove social privilege. 2. My boss is the same race as me. INVALID: This statement is actually racist because it implies that all bosses secured their positions based solely on the color of their skin and not on merits. 3. I have never been the only person of my race in a room. INVALID: The only thing this proves is your race is most likely not the majority in your location. Unless other people are prohibiting you to enter a room only because of your race, then this statement stays INVALID. 4. In the last month, you tried to get food and the person spoke to you in a language you didn't understand. INVALID: If you emigrate from another nation, you are expected to assimilate yourself to the nation you are emigrating to. This is to pay respect to the culture and heritage of the citizens of the nation you are entering. You don't expect all of them to adjust for the newcomer. 5. Your friends in conversation used the words "you people" to you, meaning your whole race. INVALID: This does not prove social privilege because you could also say "you people" to your friends. Besides, they're your friends and they most likely are joking and do not intend any harm. If they do, then find new friends. :-) 6. You've done something well and you've been congratulated because you're a credit to your race. VALID: This is valid because it implies that your race is being generalized as somewhat subpar or incompetent, thus, you being congratulated for being a credit to your race seems a valid statement to me. 7. Your race has been brought up in a job interview. INVALID: The only way this becomes valid is when you get approved/rejected based solely on your race. Simply bringing up your race in a job interview does not prove anything other than being a personal talking point. 8. Someone's made fun of you at school because of the color of your skin. VALID: This must be the most valid statement among the list. 9. At school or at work, you have two or less food stalls where you can get food you like. INVALID: Food you like is very subjective and may even have nothing to do with your race. You could be asian, but like french cuisine. If this statement specifically stated "Food related to your race and has found zero food stalls serving them," this could yield a more objective result. Although naturally, you would find native/local/national food more prevalent in the area. 10. You've ever been asked to stop loitering at the void deck. INVALID: The statement is vague. The only reason this will be valid is if you we're asked to stop loitering based solely on the color of your skin. 11. You've watched a racial stereotype on TV and you thought it was offensive. VALID: I'll consider this valid but should be taken carefully. Being offended can be subjective especially when it comes to jokes, although I will agree that inappropriate jokes exist. 12. You've heard your friends make a joke about race, make a joke about a racial stereotype, but you we're too afraid to say anything, you didn't want to cause offence. INVALID: The only person stopping you here is yourself. The difference between this and the previous statement is, you can talk to your friends here and also, they are your "friends". If they are truly your friends, they will understand that you took offense and they will be more careful next time. If they are offended with you confronting them, then find new friends. From my understanding, privilege is an advantage or special right given only to a specific group of people, in this case - race. The determining factor in each statement should be your race to qualify as an objective assessment point. In my opinion, I found that most of these statements do not qualify to obtain a more accurate result to the experiment. If anything, the experiment, to an extent, harmed the participants by making them think they are somehow victims or oppressed which is not a healthy mentality. Even the paticipants themselves are surprised by the results, and they are the primary witnesses of their personal experiences.

@@lesleykramer7207 I dont think anyone was saying that privilege does not exist. The statement was that if you want to experiment on whether privilege has something to do with race, they were asking the wrong questions and making people feel they were victims when they never saw themselves that way. Because the truth is, there is nothing to be gained by seeing yourself as a victim. Everyone should look at their privileges, because most likely, you will find that you have a lot, despite having less than others. It is just weird. Nowadays, it is considered a privilege to be a victim. How can one assess their own privilege when the victims are asserting their victimhood as a privilege in itself? It makes people ask... who really has the privilege here? So yes I get access to a private school when you dont... but because of that you get to label me all sorts of things while silencing my right to defend myself because that would be racist... I think everyone needs to start examining their privileges, victim or not.

U ask questions like ‘ is ur boss of the same race’ or ‘ have u been the only person of that race in a room’. Of course there is higher of a chinese having a boss of the same race and an indian guy being an only indian in the room. It’s simply because they are more chinese and less indians in Singapore... how is being a majority race “ social privilege “? How is this movement going to change the fact that a chinese will always have a higher chance of having a boss of the same race? And questions like “ only have 2 or less food stalls u can choose from” ... this is obviously targeted mainly at malays because majority of them are muslims and hence can only eat from halal certified stalls. So how are u going to solve this? Make all food stalls halal? Racial discrimination is having a hawker center or food court with NO halal stalls at all.

And although nationwide English is supposed to be the unifying one, people do get excluded from certain things. There are many employment ads that demands for 'Bilingual speakers only', and no by that not English and Malay, 80% of the time they're referring to Chinese and English but they just don't say it out loud (well some do).

My privilege comes from: listening to parents listening to teachers and coaches listening to police studying hard investing in my own education, financially as needed working hard to get and keep jobs; did not always happen not giving up; when I failed, trying again or trying different tool not getting drunk or high not selling drugs or illegally buying alcohol not vandalizing not looting or stealing not looking for fights not getting someone pregnant respecting people around me, including superiors, peers and subordinates not making racial or religious slurs not making fun of people's hindrances, be they physical, mental, other not calling myself a victim when I didn't get my way (it's called life) not using an unfair or unpleasant experience as an excuse to do whatever I want These are just some of the rules to live by; follow them and you will be largely "privileged" too

Yes you are correct to a point but in reality that’s not how it happens. This idea to lump everyone’s struggles as to minimize racial disparities isn’t the answer.

Remember when teachers would threaten us by saying xyz is a privledge not a right and can be taken away? To have privileges means you have earned something extra that isn't necessary, or given an honor. The things that are discussed today as privledges are not privileges at all. They are rights. Humans should have access to education, jobs, housing, etc. If a group of people are not receiving these or not benefiting from them than we should be asking why? And how can we solve that problem? Not let's shame the people who already do have those rights.

When I heard the statement "your boss is the same race as you" and I'm like "huh?". I don't think being a certain race secure you a position somewhere on top as it depends on your work performance. You can't judge someone's performance through a stereotype 🤨 As a minority in my country, I could say that language is not a privilege problem imo. I speak Chinese and Indonesian but many of my friends speak Javanese or other local languages when they're together in a group (esp when they're from the same area or same ethnicity). I asked them to teach me; which they did and I learned bit by bit of their language. And vice versa. But most of the time if my friends start conversing in their own language, I wouldn't mind either. It could be they're talking about private things or because they're used to speak that certain language to the other person. I know how weird it feels like when you speak language B to a person that you usually speak language A with. If they speak in their own language for a prolonged period of time, chances are they do not want you to be involved in their conversation.

This is high school level manipulation. “Step back or step forward” to respond to each question. There is no “not applicable”. You are either with us or against us. No room for nuance or personal experience. No allowance for individuality, but rather designed to divide people who have much more in common than reason to dislike one another. It seems to me this is the real underlying problem that this “experiment” masks, and why it would never stand up to scientific (and peer reviewed) research. Feelings aren’t scientific by definition, but who cares anymore. Post modernism has finally taken root and these are the expected results; feelings presented as material fact.

For example my mum went for an interview and all of the employees were of a certain race and their hr was of the same race after the hr was fired people of other races started becoming employees as well. Take Vancouver for example most of the jobs require mandarin. Which crosses out almost all of the potential employees of another races.

What is Privilege???? 1) Privilege is wearing $200 sneakers when you’ve never had a job. 2) Privilege is wearing $300 Beats headphones while living on public assistance. 3) Privilege is having a Smartphone with a Data plan, which you receive no bill for. 4) Privilege is living in public subsidized housing where you don’t have a utility or phone bill and where rising property taxes, rents and energy costs have absolutely no effect on the amount of food you can put on your table, which is largely covered by Government Food Stamps. 5) Privilege is having free health insurance for you and your family that's paid for by working taxpayers who often can't afford proper health coverage for their own families. 6) Privilege is having multiple national organizations promoting and protecting just your race alone -- that are subsidized by federal tax dollars. 7) Privilege is having access to a national college fund that supports only one race. 8) Privilege is having a television network that supports only one race. 9) Privilege is having most of the media news networks refuse to cover incidents wherein one race (one-eighth of the population) commits 50% of the crimes. 10) Privilege is the ability to go march against, and protest against anything that triggers you, without worrying about calling off from work and the consequences that accompany such. 11) Privilege is having as many children as you want, regardless of your employment status, and be able to send them off to daycare or pre-school you don’t pay for. 12) Privilege is being able to vote in many states without showing a driver's license, voter ID card or other credentials -- just because your race claims they should be exempt from such requirements. 13) Privilege is being able to riot, loot, commit arson and tear down historic monuments without consequences -- just because you don't like folks such as Columbus, U. S. Grant or even Lincoln. 14) Privilege is being able to get into almost any college of your choosing based on your race, not your grades or merit. 15) Privilege is having most of your life paid for by the working men and women who DO HAVE TO DEAL WITH RISING TAXES AND COSTS! you know, those you now call “PRIVILEGED.”

The more you are LIKE the majority, the more privilege you have. Religion, race, food, music, etc. This is how the world works. In Asia, most ads show Asians. In the middle east, most ads show arabs. Minority groups will always be at a disadvantage because humans will ALWAYS feel more comfortable with what they KNOW. The more different you are, the more discomfort you will cause to those who aren't used to your differences. I am not saying this is good, or ideal, or that "this is how it is so we shouldn't try to stop it." Just explaining what the issue is in more detail. You can combat negative effects to a certain degree, but this will always exist. It is literally impossible to fully get rid of it. We ought to always try to bring equality to the world, but we must also fully understand that this is how things are. I personally think the best way to combat the negative effects of majority privilege, is for minorities to spread out and befriend as many of the majority as possible. That way you normalize your presence as much as possible. Make yourself known, so that you are not unknown. By doing such you will spread comfort to the majority about your minority group. This is the primary way I see. Let em know what other things you guys think?

Also, the questions are worded poorly: I have frequently been the only person of my race in a room, because multiple times the only other people in a room have been 1 - 2 of my non-white friends. This specific experiment seems to be as much about self-perceptions of social privilege as about social privilege itself.

After the experiment, the lighter skin races still did not understand how Privileged they were. Any of the people in this video spoke that they are the first of these racial Situations because of society. Society was the one to change the thinking of race and ethnicity. Anthropologists study race and ethnicity because that is the first thing that a community is recognized as. The first label or question a person is asked is what race or gender they are? The racial formation was mentioned in one of the responses of the Participants. She believed that she would be ahead of the Indian participants but quickly proved wrong.

My first time working for a boss that was close to the same race as me and she was the only black person with a seemingly completely black crew. (We had 2 mixed women with caramel color, a couple Latinos, a darker skinned Korean guy, and me). I’ve seen POC with better work ethic and credentials get skipped for a boss’ position due to race more times than I can count and it saddens me to see people say that the question “Is your boss the same race as you?” Is not relevant in this social experiment. People who are closer to the top when it comes to the hierarchy of race do get the privilege of “boss”. These “bosses” choose people they feel more comfortable around, which would be more often than not, people of the same race or people closer to their class. Making it harder for people on the lower end of the hierarchy to become a boss or to even receive proper jobs at all. This question will remain relevant when it comes to privilege until it stops being one. Those who are affected by this privilege would be able to speak on the affects. If you are positively affected then you wouldn’t care for or really see the negative affects to be able to speak on them.

That the remaining employees became more effective and actually got a shorter workday because of this isn't politically correct to mention. I've worked for this company for 28 years. To get rid of the people needing extreme support while slowing down those of us that don't need supervision every second, was actually beneficial. The company did actually get complaints since it was minorities that was fired. That they didn't do their job and actually slowed down those of us that was beneficial, wasn't something anyone mentioned. I work with delivery. I wouldn't mind the salary that a brain surgen have but i know that i wouldn't deserve it. Idiots getting paid for destroying the actual workers job is called inclusion. I would call it indoctrination with a strong smell of Communism.

If you're in a company where you're the only asian person and everyone else is white and western, do you think you have to work harder than everyone else to prove your worth? Do you think you will be promoted easily compared to the other employees who have more solid connections to the boss due to sharing the same language and culture? Do you think you will never ever be isolated and if tragedy happens or civil war broke out you will get the same treatment and protections as the majority? The point of all those questions is to prove who is in an easier position and who has to live life in hard mode.

you can be as open minded as you think you are but subconsciously you will always gravitate towards your own race. It’s like being in a clique. Nothing wrong about it. It’s just that the biggest clique in the population would get the bigger say as it will be in the best interest for the whole community in that context.

If you paid for HDB flat like everybody else, but when you sell, you can most likely only be able to sell to 15% of potential buyers (thereby, reducing the overall demand and as a consequence, reducing the asking price, by 20k to 50k), step back, step way way back.

Yeah perhaps in the US. This was for a group of Singaporean. Have yet to meet a polynesian in Singapore. But maybe in a few years, we might be able to see more caucasians and even africans as Singapore becomes more culturally diverse.

If only the questions were better constructed and the host understood the aim of the video better, the video would have actually had an impact on the participants and viewers. All the questions weren’t about discrimination, but more about how included in society each race felt. That in itself wasn’t a fair experiment because the percentages of each race in Singapore are vastly different, so obviously the “minorities” (indians and Malays) ended up at the back. I think it would be interesting if there was a spin off from this video done with a different group of people (perhaps from a wider age range) but use questions that more directly acknowledge the issue of discrimination in Singapore.

For all those who say that others have the privilege in certain situations, I have a question for you: the fact that you are on this video on youtube and you have eyes to see, you have both hands, both legs, you have shoes, you have something to eat, etc. those are not a privilege for you? If we do not know how to handle our minds, then we see only what we want to see.😂😂

Those are material "privileges". The "privileges" in the video are abstract "privileges". There's quite a distinction between the two.

I think the question was just poorly phrased and was asked with the intent to find out if the food provided in these institutes are inclusive (do they have halal options and what not) which cater to all groups of people especially since different religions have different dietary requirements. I don’t think we should bash their efforts even if it’s not ideally presented but at least they made the attempt to somehow show the way certain groups in Singapore are more privileged than others. That being said, I do agree that much of the questions did not explicitly demonstrate privilege and were poorly phrased, the ostensibly good intent was just not well executed I Guess 🤷‍♂️

Some questions made no sense like have you been in a room where you were the only one of your race? What's that got to do with Privilege... that's like asking have you ever been in a room with only cats? Or were you aware of your surroundings in your mothers womb I don't see why most of these questions have anything to do with the test of Race & Privilege Next time come up with questions that have something to do with the subject in hand Then you got to the end of the video without telling us your results

Why are these non-Singaporeans (eg Americans forced to watch this as a class assignment) missing the fact that this is a report on race relations in SINGAPORE? After 50 years of state-driven multicultural policies stressing inclusivity and diversity? Why not find out more about the context before dissing the activity (experiment is indeed a bad word choice) which the participants did find meaningful?

There were many gaps in this experiment. Each question could be taken differently from each person. Some questions may be not understood by some people. I even noticed some people were raising their hands perhaps to ask to clarify the question. But they didn't allow us to see what their questions were when they raised their hands. This is a very poor experiment. And what about questions that weren't asked? What about questions that were asked that shouldn't have been asked and don't belong in this experiment? There are so many holes in this experiment.

Have one ever figured out why one can be comfortable with another race, then staying with a mate of their own race. Do it have something to do with demands, and they feel relief from the pressure being pushed on them. It can be many things, but will it be the right one the person really feel why they do certain things. I watched some bad interrelationship marriage, and some who look like things going right, but at the end of the day it look like a power control thing that set in the mind people want to like. I seen the control game that some need to use to keep on top of everything, and the insecure game to make one feel they taller than they really is. That one get that kind of life staying where they at. Is it the relationship game that the system introduced to our brain that have us moving around trying to do the same things. That the divorce is the game, by being with the system game. That one try their hand in all kinds of things. From different race to the same sex marriage that make the system way turns the people insane. Do we try to hard mentally to prove a point, that it throw us off course, or is it just the sex game that fade out of the relationship life. Can we be honest enough of what really on our minds to make us move into a different light. Can it be the magazine many look at that program the mind to like. Is it a status one need to feel like, or after everything been done it turned out to be a boring life. What can it be that make other take time to put all their time on others life, when they supposed to be having a happy exciting life. Is something wrong with the traditionally way of life, that pushes the people to experiment with other options they want to see if they like. Who really don't care because if it do not work they move on to another experiment with their confused life.
