Hello! I am Shawn from Singapore. Just wanted to say it is true to some extent that Singapore is pretty harmonious when it comes to racial harmony. The people are generally nice and sometimes more amazed at other nationalities visiting. However, the racism amongst the people of Singapore is definitely still there. It is harder to see because as Asians we tend to keep our thoughts and comments to ourselves, and there are acts of racism done, but more on the subconscious scale. Especially towards the minorities in Singapore. But really glad you enjoyed our city! :)

On the commentary about how most Chinese neighbors may seem less friendly/chatty - just wanted to say that it's a pretty funny and sort of true observation. Don't take it personally. I'm a Singaporean of Chinese ethnicity, I think majority of the neighbors staying on the same level/floor of my HDB building are Chinese as well. But after staying here for 3 - 4 years, I still don't know the names of any of my neighbors. In my previous HDB home, my neighbour was a Malay family and we were neighbors for over 10 years, my parents and the neighbors were on first name basis and quite chatty with each other. It's nothing to do with racism, but sometimes people are just generally more reserved or rushing for work/school every time they step out of their homes.

Back in 2005 I learned the Singaporeans do not count the workplace related deaths of Malaysians. Malaysians tend to be darker, whereas most of the Singaporeans are Chinese (much lighter skinned). there are prejudices all over the world. While no one was outright rude to me during my travels there, I was always being stared at, because I was such an oddity for them. What was nice is when I bumped into and had a 20 minute long conversation with to Nigerian men who were there for work.

thank you for this interview and all the other amazing interviews. these interviews have been giving me really awesome insight on the black experience in asian countries. i want to one day travel Asia and this has helped me. you always see those "being black in so so" and they only talk about dating or food and never really go in depth on day to day life as a black person living in a foreign/asian country. keep up the good work!

ok idk how I got here but I'm shocked. I'm an American road warrior camper, pick up the whole 9 I never had the desire to visit outside my country. Until this at 42 I will be going to get my first ever passport and I'll be making some Singapore Vacay plans. Idk how I'm going to handle the plane but I'll just have to put the pilot on the prayer list and clutch my Pearl's the whole trip

Being an English native speaker is the easy mode of being a foreigner in Japan. I am currently playing the Nightmare mode, I get rejected from companies, I don't even make it to the job interviews because I don't come from an English Speaking country, and it goes the same for other job offers (I'm not even applying as an English Teacher or anything)

I am Singaporean. I wouldn't say there is no racism. There are racism everywhere in any country, but what I would say is racism are constitutionally discouraged and at least it is not institutionalized. Cross the border to Malaysia, you have institutionalized racism where a particular race is given special privilege. Racism in Singapore do exist but not common and even if there is, it's the not as aggressive and confrontational type like those that happened in the West. There are bigger hardware stores with DIY tools or power tools but there are usually located in the residential or industrial estate (I am not talking abt Home-Fix or Self-fix ).

darrendelong Racism that I experienced was more out of ignorance. Eg the old uncle taxi driver asking when I’m returning to Africa even though I was born in raised in London. After explaining that I’m only there because my skill set was difficult to come by and I’m training Singaporeans during my tenure you’d think he’d catch the drift that I’m adding to their society/economy (taxes and service payments). As for your jive at Malaysia, it was clear as day that you guys don’t like each other which is a crying shame. Malaysians are so welcoming, why can’t you just loosen the attitude towards each other? I find it really sad how Malaysians are treated so poorly in Singapore but then it’s the same for Filipinos, Indonesians and Bangladesh living and working in Singapore. I loved my experience in Singapore so much so that I’ve settled and have been living in S.E.A for the past decade.

I just subscribed, I'm from Cincinnati and always had a lot of black friends and co-workers since I was little, Cincinnati has a terribly racist past and present. I have lived in the Dominican Republic now for 6 years, I would 100% recommend this place to any of my black friends to live or work. I"m sure there is some racism here but it is so much more integrated than anywhere else I've been. If you go out and see a group of 8 people at a restaurant or club there will be 8 different skin tones. People are too mixed here to be racist.

singapore's main drawback is its size. if it had more land to work with it could relate expand the scale of its operation and accomodate a larger population. the sad thing is that there are so many countries with more land but not desire to try to modernize its infrastructure or improve the standard of living for its citizenry. singapore is like a 22nd century country in the 21st century.

Some truth in that DIY statement - the so-called DIY stores do not stock good range of supplies. For the "hard-core" stuff, you need to go to where the local renovation contractors go for their supplies. It is possible to find what you need - you just need to know where. The only reason I am aware of this is because I asked my long-time renovation contractor where he gets all the stuffs I requested for, when I cannot find them in the DIY stores.

The comment about plainclothes arresting someone so fast is new to me. I have seen police arresting people and the process is actually quite drawn out. This is because they tend not to use force. They need like 4 to 6 officers to arrest an uncooperative perpetrator.

I am a singaporean and I think it’s just ignorance and racism where people follow blindly to hate on a particular race. As a singaporean we embrace diversity and we have 4 major races/ethnicity mainly Chinese, malays, Indians and eurasians. To be frank black people or white people to us Singaporeans they are travellers or businessmen who temporarily visit us and will eventually leave hence the little interaction except in those circle of people who work with. As a student getting my degree my university have a policy on hiring the most qualified lecturer and my module in macroeconomics professor is of Jamaica descent and a Australian he is based in Singapore during his course of work teaching us and personally I feel fortunate to be able to hear of a different culture and to be in the class of a foreign lecturer who may be able to offer us information tidbits on the other side of the world showing us insights we may not get other than academics as compared to local Lecturers. I can say for majority of us we are more embracing of different skin colours due to our diversity and integration understanding each other through cohesion of society hence it will always be easier to live in Singapore for any foreigners and don’t take it to heart of the racism that you faced be a bigger person and know that everyone of us regardless of skin colour our blood is all the same red in colour. On the side note I am chinese and I agree with him that we tend to disappear away from the places Indians/Malays/ black people hang out and he said it was a mystery but I can solve it for you guys. The reason is simple as he mentioned indeed due to our culture we are afraid of lagging behind and thus parents, colleagues of his tend to go back and guide their children along or help their children or the couple would go and have their date. For the Malays and Indians they tend to be more relaxed and chilled compared to the chinese(not saying for all but you could say 95% upwards) and it is officially recognised by the government and was once a national parliament debate to try and spur them to work harder. The Malays they prefer to mix around with their own due to dietary requirements and religious beliefs but if there are some who mixes outside their ethnicity often they aren’t as religious. The main reason why chinese don’t really appear near the hangout places is simply because in Singapore the Chinese is of the majority race comprising of more than 73% of the total population and we have various avenues for clubbing, karaoke, pub, bar, hangout spots which are also welcoming and to any other races but there are those clubs, pubs, bars, hangout spots which are solely Indian clubs, Muslim restaurant etc. As humans we tend to follow and mingle with people that look alike and it’s in natural animal instincts. So I Guess the main reason is simple because we are the majority ethnicity we have more neutral hang out spots welcoming of any races but on the other hand the minority races have specialised clubs and hangout spots that are more welcoming of only the same skin tone which I personally went before near Farrer Park and personally going with my Indian friends I feel out of place simply because of the place being named Indian club. Unlike the masses club where the Chinese hangouts which you can find any ethnicity in it it’s not named to a race so perhaps this could be one of the big reasons why you wouldn’t see Chinese going to those specialised spots. And finally I believe it is because people tend to be more comfortable being with people of similar skin Color and that is why naturally black people upon seeing Indians would feel more at home than they would seeing chinese and I guess that could also be a major reason for the lack of interactions. All in all it is still extremely rare for us to see black people in Singapore apart from my lecturer the only other time that I personally know is my Basketball mate that I met while challenging him one day hahaha. Have a nice day everyone you guys are rare but we are all equals we run the same blood colour red despite of differences :)
