OLDER CHINESE SINGAPOREANS ARE RACIST?! | [THINK LEH! EP 4]

Buildings that were once there are no longer around, things that were acceptable then are offensive now. In the last episode of Think Leh!, we reflect on how the Chinese Singaporean image has evolved over the years.
Meet Faith, a Gen Z, and Victor, a Merdeka Generation boomer, who are two strangers from completely different backgrounds, as they agree and disagree on the concept and image of a Chinese Singaporean.
THINK LEH! is a video series that seeks to explore the different expressions of the Singaporean Chinese identity, in turn highlighting the hybridity of the Singapore Chinese culture.

1.4k viewed and only 6 comments and 11 likes? Come on, guys (the 1.3k)...
Personally, i like the format of one senior and one young adult exchanging views.
Their way of doing it is amenable.

在“去中文化”的现象越普遍时，这一系列探讨新加坡华族的自我意识和身份认同感的视频显得很有意义，希望能引起关注！

Problem is many ppl don’t know or choose not to know what some words mean. “Ang moh” for eg means red hair. But there was this youtube clip with a young student claiming it means red devil 🙄

The end lah 👻

In Hong Kong, Caucasian is referred as gwailou (鬼佬); Singapore Cantonese referred Caucasian as 红发鬼 (red-hair ghost)
鬼 means ghost, not devil

I disagree that older Chinese generation is racist. At our time, we mixed around, hence it was so common to hear other races (especially Indians) spoke in dialect or Mandarin. However, both kids and adults did joke on race, dialect group, etc....to the extend the person of that joke laughed along, and even joked on his/her own race, etc
What I noticed is that people are getting very sensitive over such things, and refer every single thing as racist.

Keling is not a bad name or bad words . Thats what i got from google

[@onglim14]

With the present younger generation of Chinese not knowing their dialects, how to preserve their heritage? How to call themselves Chinese? I will call them Chinese without their roots.

That Poly Tech ENGLISH Pronunciation was POOR The Senior is well balanced his English has good diction. The Point is . SG Education System is not that good as we perceived in STEM which is regurgitating text books which the Chinese pour numerous hours but cannot think out of the box. Socially Chinese in SG are a FLOP. Why???
