It's so easy to judge rather been judged. Please before you open your big fat mouth and spew like pigs take a walk down any heartland and see for yourself who are the ones drinking in broad daylight before spewing your venomous comments on Indians. The media as we know it likes to play out the Indians in such state. Ask a few fundamental questions first...a. Have you seen our Indian on any advertisement on state media or media corps? Why Singapore only project Chinese in all their advertisement but in government controlled boards like CPF, HDB,ETC. INDIANS AND MALAYS ARE PROMINENTLY FEATURED. Why aren't anyone of you questioning or rebutting such blatant racial crimes but just because Indians love to drink means we are drunkards? You mean Chinese don't get drunk? So watch and wash your mouth before you spewed further verbal abuse and discriminate against Indians. I am quiet surprised Mr Shanmugam, Tharman Sham, Inderjit Singh and the rest of the Indianswho carries the balls of PAPIES does not stand up for Indians as the crime against Indians are so obviously bias...like Ethinc Integration Policy, quotas for Indians Lawyers and places in the local Univeristies. Watch it Bro

Those living in Serangoon Gardens can testify that in the coffee shops around Maju Avenue many Chinese go on this "liquid diet" daily beginning in the morning. Go to Lorong 108 Changi Road and the nearby hawker centres you can see Malays on "liquid diet"; ditto for Indians in Little India. Members of which race get drunk and swagger in out infamous Boat Quay and pubs? So why stereotype a particular race when everybody does it?

Why do Indians always hurl vulgarities?

 

[YanDao]

You must be a new citizen Indian cos many of my indian friends also agree and they will just laugh it off when we joke about this.

Stereotypes save you time and effort from figuring people out on a case-by-case basis.

Stereotypes are derived from daily observations and are generally true. Exceptions to the norm certainly exist, but I'm not bothered with searching for needles in a haystack.

Those who are offended by stereotypes are usually either prissy politically correct douchebags, or precisely fit the description of those stereotypes.

Here are two more stereotypes: women with tattoos are sluts, and people who play golf are elitist bourgeois cocksuckers.

Come on, the drunkards are mostly Chinese apeks ok. Open your eyes and look around hawker centres and coffee shops.

What's wrong with mediacorp showing kelings drunk? They do it what. You see it's this stupid sensitivity only when their race is potrayed in a negative light that they go all crazy about it and it's just a comedy for god's sake yet they won't have a problem when chinese are potrayed in a negative light and for some odd reason chinese can be the only race to be shown like this. I don't think anyone will be starting any threads if they had shown chinese as gamblers or as some kia su or kiasee freak. I certainly wouldn't be starting a thread acting all offended. It's this sickening mentality that they feel that have a right to feel offended and whine at anything that has perpetuated this society so much so that if you are a minority somehow you must be a victim of some form of racism and you have a right to complain about any slight no matter how small or whether it's real or just perceived by you. Honestly it takes both hands to clap for racial harmony to occur and if you are a minority in singapore you ought be really glad. One of the few countries in the world where you don't get raped, robbed, beaten, taunted publicly merely for your race. In fact kudos should be given more to the majority race since most of the time most minorities don't attempt to tell off other minorities or speak out about how their own personal experiences they let them complain of non existent racism and to rant over every small slight whether it's real or perceived. That's why we would have complaints like aunty didn't smile at me in the shop cos she's a racist and i am an indian someone gave me this example once. Man with a leashed dog glares at me from the corner of my eye in the lift so he thinks i am lower than his dog and i need to hold a press conference. To even complain about silly things like this and to call the other party racist instead of looking at one's own behavior and thus attracting such a reaction is the mentality many minorities have.

These foreign ah nehs are the worst. They will look down on non whites and non nehs the same caste as them and think the chinese ppl beneath them but get offended at the slightest incident.

They still have this delusion? But they are ah nehs. Ah nehs are heathens (non-xtians) with few inventions to brag about.
