Serious Mediacorp Show Pulled Episode After Sinkie Said Keling Kia Is The Same As Nigger!

[JohnTan]

Mediacorp's online streaming service Toggle has removed an episode of its original drama series I Want To Be A Star from its site following a public outcry over the programme being racist.

In the episode, Singaporean-Chinese actor Shane Pow, 26, is seen wearing an Afro wig as well as black face make-up after a casting director fails to find an African man for a role.

Earlier, Pow's father in the series, played by veteran actor Chew Chor Meng, 47, had said Indians and Africans are "all the same".


The episode, which is believed to have been available online since late September, was met with anger and disbelief on social media.

Twitter user @bxbyqueen wrote: "They fail to see that the reason why nobody cares about local tv is bc of their blatant discrimination masked as jokes".

Another Twitter user @jan_ng posted: "And our country is considered advanced and racially harmonious???"



In response, Toggle removed the episode and then posted an apology on its official Twitter page (@ToggleSG) : "Ep 6 of 'I Want To Be A Star' on Toggle Originals featured a brief scene on the portrayal of an Afro-American, played by actor Shane Pow. The scene has been perceived as being racially insensitive by some viewers, although that was never our intention in the production.

"We appreciate the feedback and truly apologise to viewers who have been affected by this portrayal. The relevant scenes have also been removed from the programme."

But the tweet was not enough to placate many viewers.

Twitter user @keou_ wrote: "It's inherently racist, not 'perceived' as racist. don't sugarcoat your mistake to comfort yourself and everyone else."

The story is developing.

This opportunistic bitch, at least this incident made people take notice of the forsaken TV station.
Filthy Indians are also shitskin just like Niggas, except that their cocks are 90% smaller.

Where got same? They have different hairstyles and head shapes.

Even smelled differently. Not the same lah.

Singapore has very little experience with Africans. We should import more for the sake of education and understanding.

Mediacorp show: Keling kia = nigger

recent eurasian gathering talking about changes to EP rules: keling kia = eurasian

Can we then conclude that nigger = eurasian?

If Indians truly think that Indians and Africans are not the same, why get so butt hurt? Unless... Indian Truth hurts?

Imagine the same acting and dialogue on TV in any other asian countries like China or Philippine, "Chinese and Africans are all the same" or "Filipino and Africans are all the same". No one would have given a god damn fuck about it.

The truth is, Skin Conscious, Color Conscious, Caste Conscious people will always be butt hurt by Any Skin, Color or Caste remarks or any perceived references, in this case Indians and Africans. In another words, the most racist and discriminating race on earth, Indians, will always be screaming racism and pulling out their victim card and race card wherever they go. There is a good reason why Indians are despised everywhere in this world.

Kerlings are angry because amongst all the chow kerlings, they are already different - castes differences still exist strongly amongst them despite so many years after their 1947 independence and despite the fact that they are in Singapore.

I remember one kerling assistant came to me and said that he wanted to resign because he could not work under his existing supervisor. After beating around the bushes, finally he said that the supervisor was from a lower caste than him and he would never want to work for someone who is of lower caste.

WTF - just asked him to get the fxxx off as he wished.

Here's a Fucking problem with this and it has to do with keling shit skins. They claim to be black when it benefits them otherwise they hate and look down on blacks even when they complain of being victims of racism. Their number 1 shit skin gandhi hated blacks.

Anyway the more important thing is how Chinese react to this. The more cowardly Chinese there are aka the Chinese dogs these Fucking shit skins will continue their bs. The more racially aware proud Chinese there are the less daring these shit skins will be. One good thing is edmw forum under SPH hwz has seen a resurgence of proud racially aware Chinese that even mudslimes can't do anything and get banned.

If you aren't a keling shit skin and are especially a Chinese but support their rubbish complaints of fake racism then you deserve to be stepped on by them. It's a good thing that edmw which is owned by sph and a lot of ppl log unto has seen a lot of aggressive and more racially aware Chinese and shit skins and mudslimes get banned there now by the mods proving that there are a lot of Chinese willing to fight and not become Chinese dogs

The Indians can't stand being black either.

Reader or listener read his own meaning in it.
Not same?? Didnt MJ has a song saying we are the world, we are the children.
So are we same or not?

Or maybe because using 2 degenerate mortals as comparison is consider racist?

Looks like a Chigger to me.

More signs of social problems since the PAP opened the floodgates to the 3rd world:( Even the angmo imports show little respect beating up cabbies is becoming so common Now it seems to be OK for everyone to refuse to pay for their rides. Report to police has become a joke

These foreigners are getting out of hand: rioting, scamming, not paying cabbies, unarmed bank robberies, ... The little fishing village has become a cesspool for gambling. money laundering, vice, violent crimes, murder, ...

Of course we had vice in the past but it was orderly unlike what is going on today. Foreigners know that LKY is no longer in charge & his clueless son is in charge. You know the guy who is flying around the world doing what

 

[Agoraphobic]

Not the same. They are world's apart!

Do Indians love watermelons and fried chickens as much as Afros? Nah, they makan dosais and chapatis, which are totally different from Afro diet. Also, Indians are poor athletes compared with Afros who are the world's best sprinters and ball-players. On the other side, Indians make good academicians and make good grades at school while Afros don't really stand out in this area.

Cheers!
