No, this is not in the West. Not the US. Or any other Western country. This is Singapore, The most multi-racial country with most major religions represented living in harmony side by side, second to Malaysia, in Asia. It is composed of Chinese, Malays and Indians with a lot of Foreigners from the West. Its majority is Ethnic Chinese with its government mostly composed of Chinese-Malaysians. Few months ago, I also saw a woman from the West who told the driver of the bus she was on to go back to China, and the funny thing about it was that she was in China. The racism has become more blatant and rampant now than before. I felt it when I was back in the US. It's not as hidden as the way it was before. KINDNESS AND RESPECT ARE OUT. Just so everyone knows, I've encountered this kind of situation quite few times in the US, Canada and Europe. It would be a lot if I tell my stories. It's dehumanizing. It makes you less of a human being. It feels like you're an animal. For the most part, I remain calm and just smile. Somehow I remember my friend here telling me after going through the same thing in Europe, all you have to do is remain calm and do your best work. Because for the most part, they're all just words, and what you produce by doing your best work is what counts. Their words don't achieve anything.
