    Not to be racist or anything but if it was in the 1950s the suitable race that should represent Malaya should be a Malay.
    Because Malays had a stronger national identity and had deeper roots in the countries history. Back then the other two main ethnic groups like Chinese and Indians were still clinging on to wherever their ancestors came from. So their national identity was a bit on the fence.
    Just look how the Chinese girl in the vid views herself she identifies more as Chinese rather than a Malayan, and her views is not bigoted (base on another vid) she talks about the perception of how Chinese ppl in Malaya view Malays, which is a fact in those time.
    These views and opinions are what ppl back then thought of the world they saw, how they agreed and disagreed about certain things. So we in the present have nothing in common with their views in that time, because have learnt and experienced. So don’t get wind up to someone’s views decades ago.

      She is rude, tone-deaf, racists, classists and openly internalised racists. Philipino and Thai student were saying about how the Chinese in their countries dominated their economies and how they face some rude Chinese then she quickly became defensive. At the same time, she has no qualm saying White as red hair devil and Malays as descendants of pigs. If racism can be tolerated because of the time. The classism is just so smirky. As well as saying how the whites are really pink and Chinese are white. Its just sad and tired.

      Actually, majority of Malayan is Malay, but in a short amount of time, the British import these Chinese and Indian to Malaya. Because of that, we became the minority in our own country. Chinese and Indian are not native to Malaya (or Tanah Melayu in the Malay language). Remember that Malaya isn't like Canada, the USA, Australia. This land already has a rich history and kingdoms like Malaccan Sultanate (which is one of the richest kingdoms in the world on par with Venice).
      and I'm kinda offended when she speak chinese instead of Malay, i know that everyone is snowflakes nowadays, but still tho.... its Malaya. maybe this people only live inside their own bubble (i.e. community). Nowadays it is still kinda the same, but owh well, at least they mingle a bit nowadays with other races. Indians in malaysia mingle a lot with Malay and other races.

    • @kaylerninja
      @kaylerninja Před 3 lety +13

      The land is filled already with native. However, due to the colonialism from British, they brought over 2 millions Chinese year by year for working as slave in Malaya. Over the time, Chinese population was exceeded than native Malay, which forced the First Prime Minister to let out Singapore from Malaya. Despite of Malaya was getting independence from British in 1957, the government of China decided to do not let they to return and the native decided to let them to stay in the country. However, until now they still think that they are belong to China, not to Malaysia (new name of Malaya). They have sentiment that they are superior and that what makes Chinese is hated by world population.
