...of Racism in Singapore

I was with a bunch of guys the other day, and this is what happened:

Aloke: Oy
Singaporean: Are you Filipino?
Aloke: lol, no, why?
Singaporean: Becauce you said 'oy'
Aloke: I say that all the time lol
Singaporean: Yeah I thought you were one of those stupid Filipinos who depend on Singaporeans to make money. 

Okie, I'll come clean. I was playing DotA online. Yes, I still play sometimes. It is quite entertaining... except when you have conversations like this with such people. 

Here's some crazier stuff I got when someone got ticked off at the way I played. 

Singaporean: Fuck you noob. Your mother whore. I track you down. I go your house and make her suck my hairy dick. I know your IP address.
Aloke: Dude, you have a problem with me. Not with my parents.
Singaporean: Fuck off noob 

This has actually happened several times, and every time, they get ticked off at someone, and promptly begin to heap insults at the person's parents, usually the mother. 

I hear Singaporeans strutting around talking about how 'civilised' they are. Here's what I say - bollocks to your so-called civilisation. As long as you still have people who are racist, who litter, who smoke and piss in elevators, sniff glue (I have actually seen this), use profanity like water, steal bicycles - the list is endless - you have no right to consider yourselves any more civilised than the rest of the world. 

So get off your high seats before you come crashing down because of your big heads.

I have one Chinese friend who has this to say when a foreign friend of mine started his list of complaints about Chinese culture/people...

"There is no perfect culture."

I believe so also.

Anyway, those were rude comments from Singaporeans you met, Aloke. I was wondrin' how I would react if I am in those situations. I could be tactless sometimes.

Oh well, just keep on going on, Aloke!
