Bro, try asking the bangladeshi workers , mamak restaurant workers, Indonesian workers n etc. would really be interested to know their take .
I was thinking about that. He's asking the wrong set of foreigners to do this interview
@@Masterclass20 exactly, nothing against them, but Asians generally put fair skinned ppl on a pedestal.
@@jetstream9480 Yes ur right, The more fair skin you have, the brighter future you have in anything you do... That's what "Skin Colour Discrimination" is happening right now in Malaysia, that's just one problem another problem is "Gender Discrimination"/"Beauty Discrimination"/"Religion Discrimination"/"Body Weight Discrimination"/"Racial Discrimination"/Many more... So for those who are unlucky in life, just one sentence "Trust Only GOD"
@@jetstream9480 we white worship a 100%. i remembered as a kid i was told since i was brown , it would be harder to survive. in a way, yes. I mean, we all do it. it's not even just chinese who are predominantly fairer skin, but indians, malays, dayaks, etc. it's insane. I have a friend who is a dayak like myself but he was fair -- holy crap did he get some amazing preferential treatment while i got the "kuli" thing. in my family, i'm the darkest toned one and i recalled even my sisters friends who came over to my parents house and thought i was the gardener because , i'm brown. was i wearing some outfit to look like a gardener? no. did i act like i was? no.
Honestly, I laughed at it the first time i got that because, i let these stupid things be rent free in my head. at least, i hope i do haha.
It was vice versa, there are good and bad treatment honestly in Malaysia
The key is simple don't provoke the local people and don't violate the local tradition always follow the law
Best advice for any South East Asian country.
Agree, if you respect their cultures and religions.. they are very welcoming to you~
This applies to everywhere around the world I would say

I have traveled to Europe several times but I think Southeast Asians are generally friendlier and more open than most Europeans, Southeast Asian culture is smiling and friendly
Southeast Asian cultures friendlier than pretty much everywhere else
U are right!
A reason why the mind games of colonial masters were very effective.
Apparently not everywhere. Just like the guy said you go to France as Asian or different look than them you gonna find it a hard way.
The Malays are the only native race to build a NEW modern country successfully after ww2.
Our malaysians are obsessed with fair skinned, always excited and treat european, japan and korean tourists very well..even these tourists are just ordinary people in their countries..they can feel like celebrities in Malaysia
rubbish
we are not obsessed for no reason, the television always show korean/europe drama and beauty influences
and we getting bullied if having dark skin stay outside no take care of skin.
that's why malaysia are excited with fair skinned people.
i see what youre saying.
Yeah, Malaysia treats darker skin people unfairly....
@@StaryzHelios not fair skinned, but crystal white skin like Korean and Chinese
Tourists or foreigners should aware there are a lot of foreign workers in Malaysia especially in KL. Of coz there are look like Malaysians because typically Asians look same for westerns, Africans or Americans. Only locals can differentiates between Malaysians with other Asians. Just ask if there are Malaysians if want to ask anything. Don't simply assumed everyone on the street are Malaysians.
Asians obviously don’t look the same lah bro, what the westerners think Asians look the same is because they think Asians are just Chinese, Japanese and Korean…. in Malaysia alone, we can tell who is Malay, Chinese and Indian.. theres no way people mistaken Chinese with Indian… not to mention, there are people from the middle east, they are also asian
As a matter of fact, Asia is the most diverse continent in the world
Be real lah. The truth is if someone is poor, not fluent in English, a blue collar workers with indian features most Malaysians will deny them as their own and say they're not Malaysians but obviously they are
@@richardnuevo say louder sister to the racist Malays who want the world to know that their people are white skinned, a few malays are embarrassed to accept the fact that we are dark skinned people and theres no shame about it, because skin colour are all the same
exactly, we have many foreign workers especially in the big cities. Tourists should know we have many foreign workers before coming here.
@@richardnuevo dude there is 7 million foreign worker in Malaysia. And Malaysian citizen is only 32 million all over. Most of the foreign worker are in kl. Did you think those people you describe is 100% Malaysian?. Kahkahkahkah!! How about you ask for their ic 1st. Ngl there is a number of people maybe mlysian but just try to ask them 1st.
Racism is not between locals and foreigners but between races in a country. Don't interview foreingers on racism because the perception already built-in, they are here to spend money and help the economy, most people won't say bad things to them in general.
@@XP750don't throw Malaysians face for commenting such dumb and racist comments.
That's because some of them are just plain rude. I also get annoyed with some mainlanders. I however once worked with china Chinese who is child of elite parents. He behave just like any overseas Chinese. He told me his family won't be accused of supporting sun Yat Sen, because his grandpa oversee a province for Mao. So they never had to emphasize via behavior that try are communist (I.e. Loud, pushy, etc).
His view is, for a common folk, they renounce Chinese traditional practise in favor of communist mindset because that how to publicize you are not supporting sun Yat Sen.
Younger generation are learning. So less encounter now with the rude kind of Chinese.
@@lynarystic stop bringing toxicated topic like those Americans, it's freedom of speech, true. You want to target CCP, fine. But don't be a CIA terrorist tool to spread hatred towards Chinese.
@@XP750 The Malays are the only native race to build a NEW modern country successfully after ww2.
Foreign poor workers came to work and refuse to go back. That is the problem.especially from countries like bangla, pakistan,china, india, rohingya etc
As a Filipino, I've been here in Malaysia for almost 10 yrs now but never experienced racism from Malaysians except for this one time when I went shopping and encountered a rude sales lady. I was talking to her in English but she kept on answering in bahasa and I said I'm sorry but I don't understand Bahasa and she was like angry and told me to (learn bahasa then) in a rude accent with rude expression on her face. (surely it's my most memorable experience here😅) but
That's the only issue i had in my 9yrs + here in Malaysia. Other than that... Is all good.
I love Malaysia and this is my second home already.
you are already 10 years in Malaysia but can't speak in malay? So what u expect from that girl? Do u think all people in Malaysia can speak in english? English is not our language. So that's normal if that girl can't speak in english and answer your question in her language. I think u must to learn our Malaysian language `Bahasa Melayu'. Oh maybe when I go to the Philippines. I ask somebody there and they answer in Philippines language, I will angry them? Or maybe I can assume they're rude? Racist? Or what? Btw, my English is bad but Is not my languages and I hope u understand what I mean
@@elina7249 in the Philippines, if u talk in english with the Filipinos, they would definitely understand and they will try to reply in English as well.
We will not ask the foreigner/tourists (in a rude manner) to speak our language.
I guess that's the difference between PH and Malaysia.
But hey no worries, like I said, I love it here and I consider Malaysia as my 2nd home already. So chill
@@laze33 they would definitely understand? they will try to reply in english? Seriously? So why others experience in ur country is not like ur statement? Btw, its okey, no hate. I love ur country and I love to hear ur language in Philippines series🤣
@@elina7249 Bro you are completely overreacting. OP is saying that lady was rude because she was angry at her for not speaking BM, probably because she thought the OP is Malaysian.
Learning second language is hard, especially as an adult, and it's not a foreigner's obligation to learn our language, given many of them are expats and probably working in English speaking environment. We should be proud of our English ability, allowing the foreigners to live seamlessly without too much hassle. Malaysia should be welcoming to foreigners, don't enforce the Malay maruah bs on them, you are scaring off the foreigners and embarrasing Malaysian...
They learn English at school but still can't speak fluently not all people can speak english.
I'm Vietnamese working in Malaysia for 5 years, i really enjoy here and don't feel any bad experience. I feel like a 2nd home for me. Love love ❤
Malaysia belongs to the Malays with 9 Malay Raja.. Poor people from india,bangladesh, china, etc came to work in estates and tin mines. These contract workers don't want to go back to back, that is the problem. If they go back there will be no race problem
@@sriyion8167those poor people became richer than you. And USA builds its success on immigration, Malaysia should do the same not the opposite. And everyone is also foreigners, you also from Africa, I also from africa. Don’t be oblivious
@@youtubedeletedmyaccountlma2263omg dont take this kid seriouse man. hes a troll. make malays look bad .
This is good content. Uv been asking European tourists. Mayi i suggest for u to also ask tourists from east asians, middle eastern, african, south asians, neihbouring countries.
i am wondering, those who stares at western tourists, are they even malaysian? 😁
we malaysian are so used to having tourists (white/black/red/yellow) among us that we dont treat them any differently. 😁
Same thoughts here. Malaysians r well travelled n we r not curious abt foreigners
You forget about Brown
@@thelostdeadkid oh dear. . 😜
I heard that Bangladesh loves to stare at someone which is scary
@@ophajoyer4503 hmm maybe
Well, Malaysia is a multiracial/religion country. We learned about respect & considerate to other people's belief without jeopardizing the nation as Malaysian.
There is an up and down throughout the history but I believe that we learned so much about it.
So, there is more space for everyone to fit in our accepting society.
Just ignore the politicians and we will be fine
you know as a fellow malaysian (dan lain-lain here haha), I have to say, KL being the epicentre of May-13th, it has come a long way from that moment in history. While we still do have discrimination and stereotypes of each other but at the end, MOST malaysians, i feel aren't as racially motivated or discriminatory towards people.
@@sonofage we as Malaysian learned so much from that tragic history but now the politicians making everything so much more difficult...I LOVE all Malaysians especially the food
@@asmadibalkhisabubakar1488 when did politicians made it easier for anyone? all sides have done and said shit to get our attention. pretenders of "fighting for the people" types. safer to trust scam calls hahah.
@@MalayanRakyat-ls2cw Yes. Number one rule 😂
I’m a Bangladesh national and I was there in a IAEA program. I also was in Japan for a month with Malaysian scientist. Believe me, my experience isn’t good at all in both cases. I saw how really you guys hate us!
I know this probably means nothing to u... but as a malaysian, sorry u have to go through that
Sebab awak punya bangsa banyak buat susah kat Malaysia dan tinggal tanpa permit.
Tgk sikit perangai bangsa ko sini.. ludah sana sini
Sorry bhai for having such experience from some of us.
I'm really sorry that you had to go through that experience. Unfortunately, some Malaysians tend to treat darker skinned foreigners worse, as compared to Western foreigners because of lack of understanding. However, the younger generation are starting to have a much better knowledge of society and culture, and are far likely to show compassion.
Manner is more important , respect our culture. Do not come with western standard and entitlement baggage. Come and observe as it is, we are secure with our culture and life. We know american, we know european,
Yes

Great video, Atyc! Very glad that these set of tourist have gotten such great experiences in our beautiful country. Its true that we Malaysians are generally friendly people, but sadly, most of our foreign workers in Malaysia do not get the same treatment as western visitors.
most foreign workers refuse to leave especially poor china citizens. then claim Malay land belong to Ming dynasty like guan eng

Loving what you are doing man. As a Japanese and English language learner, more often that not I come across these sort of content where real, authentic interviews that involves the local and foreign people are done which allows us to see what opinions they have towards that particular topic. We need more content creators with this concept and am I glad to see we do have one here. Just hope you could do interviews of the local Malaysians as well and ask them critical and open ended questions about current issues where they could express their thoughts freely about it. You can refer Asian Boss for examples, love the contents they make there but sadly none of their videos has involved Malaysia up until now 😂 keep it going!

duk tanya mat salleh memang ok la... cuba tanya bangla2 n pakistan.
...im living in Malaysia past 20 years so Malaysia is home for me now..i never had any issues regarding racism, that i can remember...only thing which happens from time to time is, im asked to pay for nasi goreng ayam or nasi lemak 15-20RM at place where usually goes 8RM and nasi lemak max 5 rm(its big one), and it happened in Melaka..which i kindly refuse and reply to them on bahasa that im living here long enough to know price...other than that, no issues at all..
they're hawau! (Melaka way to swear)
good one for confronting them on the double standard price!
wow, what scum. sorry, but when i visited cambodia with my ex, who was from denmark, they tried marking the price up because she's white. I'm brown so they initially thought i was a local until i said i was malaysian. they tried to charge us 25 dollars each for a tuktuk ride. it was insane. I don't like that sort of thing when people do that.
@@sonofage their people were killed by europeans. thats worse
It is important to know what premises that you are having a Coca-Cola(better analogy) The same can of coca-cola prices are different on a hawker stall, coffee shop(non-aircond), cafe, pub, bar and hotel. The price difference is astronomical.
My favourite nasi lemak is always from the street from the ad-hoc stalls. It is cheap and delicious.

No China Indonesia Singapore tourist ?
They are top 3 country who the most visited malaysia as tourist.
no bangla or nigerian?
I lived in KL as a white Canadian kid for 5 years. Was honestly 5 of the best years of my life. Was never even robbed or even so much as bothered by anyone once. Really friendly people just mind your own business.
Like most Asian countries, Malaysians are more friendly towards Caucasian looking person. I'm a Malaysian myself and I get to know some African, South Asian and Arabian friends in my university, and they all expereinced certain extent of discrimination. But still, good effort.
Northern European and lived in Malaysia for a decade and Malaysia is the only country i have experienced aggressive racism and other forms of racism both from institutions and individuals multiple times. As with everything it's a minority of people.
1. Hot accused of being Persian and got jumped by 3 guys with weapons, luckily for me they weren't good fighters, luckily for them i was tired and emotional. The PDRM returned their weapons back to them! At same time we (police and I) witnessed a bag snatching and they did nothing as the victim was ethnic chinese and the perpetrator looked sub-saharan african.
2. Dual pricing system, official and unofficial. Taxi drivers getting violent when u refuse to not pay off meter!! (Not an issue now thx Grab) And any museum, park etc etc etc
3. Taxation WITHOUT representation.
4. Government workers obsession in knowing the ethnicity of my partner, and treat me differently depending on how I answer.
5. Getting offered different food and constantly being asked if i like spicy food/can use chopsticks/eat with hands etc. Guys your food ain't spicy at ALL...
6. Can't access some simple things as don't have a NRIC... Example, was unable to get a JPJ appointment to renew license through their useless app as no IC.
List goes on. Mostly it's an inconvenience but has turned needlessly and stupidly violent multiple times. Malaysians seem to have a need to put people in a box so that they can then make assumptions and avoid certain topics. Leads to some really dafuq conversations at times.
Used to have a staggeringly racist boss too, to the point i didn't understand her at times as our thoughts were so misaligned.
Wow that was cathartic.😂
lol, and you don't miss your homeland?
I spoke to a Black lady tourist in Singapore before and she told me in whisper that she did face discrimination in Msia. Mainly from the security guards. I got a feeling they may not be local Malaysians
There is a channel american black couple love malaysia so much, they said malaysian people are super nice and very friendly. Their channel is Passportz visions i think?
Malaysia have korea beauty influence for centuries,
to some people which is uneducated local people get brainwashed by fair skin beauty standars set by KOREA
Security guards are usually not Malaysian. Low wage job
The word ‘Asian’ is too generic, we are not the same people, the same culture and the same mentality.. like me as a Malaysian I can’t relate much with Vietnam let alone east Asia.. and also Central Asia and Middle East are also part of Asia… usually to westerners perspective, ‘Asian’ to them are Chinese looking people and Budhist background, hence they think all asian people look the same, thats why I recently refrain to identify myself as asian and Malaysia as an asian country because the reality is that we are Nusantaran & Austronesian….. we have our own identity, culture and value, we are closely related to the Polynesian of pacific islanders.
Even Filipinos?
@@tantangpenn5496 Filipino are also Austronesians like the people of Madagascar, Malays, Indonesians, Maori, Hawaii, Fiji, Samoa, Rapa Nui etc

We are so used to seeing foreigners in our backyard..staring is normal.liken seeing a new breed of horses,we are small brown,while they are big and white.

During my time in Malaysia, I have found the local Malay people to be incredibly welcoming and warm. However, my experiences with individuals of mixed Malaysian heritage have been different. I had a negative encounter with someone like that who displayed arrogance and a sense of entitlement. It was disheartening.
chindians?
Mamaks
Fun fact about dark side of malaysian…. We don’t really hostile towards foreigners… just to the immigrants
To be honest based on my experience before stayed at Europe country, westerns are more racist than Malaysian. Some of them hates Malaysian because of Islam, because this country is small. They hate azan, they hate hijab etc. Somehow, the funniest thing is some of them love our food, especially rendang and teh tarik (this happened during raya puasa, few times we had open house, invited them for dinner and tau2 habis rendang aku dorg bantai).
But these peope hate us. Why? Because we're the Islamic, small and 3rd world country. Bab small country tu memang buat aku bengang. Bingai punya mat saleh. Sayang aku xde glob kat umah masa tu. Nak je aku tunjuk comparison Malaysia dgn Singapore. Mujur kaki aku pendek, nak flying kick tak sampai. Kebanyakan member husband aku tu semua kepala nak cecah siling umah. Aku ni paras2 pusat dorg je. Hukhukk sabar jela aku.

I stumbled onto this channel trying to learn about Malaysia. I am curious about the cultures, the view, everything. I have ancestry there but was born in America. So I just want to learn more about where part of my ancestors came from.

your ancestors probably migrated from china during the great farmine. So you shd look at china.

Malaysian do treat forigner differently in a good way like how we treat guest. Smiling is just basic to show you are welcome. In extreme, you will find they treat you some food without having anything in return.

As a Malaysian myself, maybe. because some people don't treat other especially have darker skin nicely
Apart from "institutionalised discrimination", which yields interesting Google search results, there is discrimination against migrant workers in Malaysia. Priveleged tourists do not need to worry about this, but those are the ones he likes to interview.
most people refuse to leave especially poor china citizens. then claim Malay land belong to Ming dynasty like guan eng
The Malays are the only native race to build a NEW modern country successfully after ww2. china and india labour trying to steal our land. claiming its the Malays responsibility to feed india citizens or china's
Google?
Malaysia belongs to the Malays with 9 Malay Raja.. Poor people from india,bangladesh, china, etc came to work in estates and tin mines. These contract workers don't want to go back to back, that is the problem. If they go back there will be no race problem. The japanese killed the european armies and captured 80 000 british soldiers. The gov in spore was brought to manchuria prison.
@sriyion8167 As a Malaysian, I can confirm there is no racial dispute apart from the occasional fight. BTW, we have one Raja, seven sultans and four Yang Dipertua's
As an expat in Malaysia for 12 yrs. I find Malaysians in general to be friendly and polite. However, if Im being honest, local Chinese/Indians are friendlier than the Malay Malay. One example is when it comes to English, "some" will frown and make face when you are unable to communicate in Bahasa. This is common in fastfoods, malls. Which I find it weird coz these restaurants or shops should anticipate to have foreigner customers.
But again, overall, Malaysians are good and honest people.
we are discriminating to each other, and to those third world countries and races, but not whites, koreans, japanese. We actually double standard too in our styles.
It's simple, the reason British people are called racist toward immigrants to the UK, is because nobody choosing to live among us respects our culture and customs. Nothing to do with skin colour, religion or anything else, just a casual disregard for British ways. That's why we have been made to feel ashamed of our own heritage.
I lived and studied in Malaysia for 5 years.. And was never treated unjustly or disrespectfully.. YES there many stories were things between races did go wrong but generally just surround yourself with the right people at the right place at the right time and you'll be good I never had any race issue whether it was Malay Indian, Malay or Malay Chinese.. And made alot of awesome friends there.. I miss them and wish to visit Malaysia again ❤
bro go interview org bangla or pakistani see how different their answers are
Yah.. they're not racist to white people but to their fellow Asians and even their own

Discriminate? malaysian minorities talk too much and even can rude to majority, only want go to their self race school, can't speak official language fluently..funny
Nice interview :) I like the way you ask the question. Maybe invest in a better mic 🎤 when you're able to 🫶 Stay champ 🏆
I am married to a Malay lady. I am British, Matsaleh if you like.
I am always made to feel so welcome by the Malays, we eat in local restaurants, I am normally the only Matsaleh in the restaurant but no one takes any notice of me. It is wonderful.
For myself as and expat here people are so nice I have lived in Indonesia, Singapore, Philippines and Malaysia. There was not any racism here or anywhere. I am Australian and we have a very diverse and multicultural society so maybe I don't notice it but for me it has been a great 10yrs living abroad and found my wife of 8yrs so has been good to me.
You must walk around with your eyes shut.
No matter if you're European or SEAsian. If you show the low quality mentality people may dislike. Malaysian will treat you the same if you come as a tourist or working as professional. You'll get opposite treatment if you work in low pay sector anyway that discrimination also apply even to local Malaysian.

Pastu tiber ckap ye ke mat saleh, muka mcm tak mat saleh pn...mujur suami sy faham bahasa melayu...terus dia blah kalu makcik2/pakcik2 bawang mulut longkang cmni. Tolonglah jgn jd busy body dan boleh tak jgn cari port nk membawang terutama org islam. Cakap islam tp mengumpat/gosip tak takut plak sdgkn terang dosa lebih besar dr bunuh org yakni dosa jariah.
thats sucks, if i jadi you guys pun i meluat w those kind of questions.
As long as you dont provoke or insult em’, you gonna be okay. Malaysian is a happy lot ❤
or claim Malay land is their land
@@sriyion8167 Exactly ... Worst claiming ever ...
I live in a fishing village in Penang and for decades there are always Europeans living together and fully accepted by the village folks and they talked highly of these Germans, Belgians and Englishmen. Sometimes some hippie groups would come and camp here too.
For people who saying that malaysia is racist toward other race is wrong, it's all about the attitude. Most of race have similar attitude which lead to racism not tryna be defensive but try living in malaysia for 5 years and you will know what i mean. Not all people with that race is the same but if one news come out we already know what kind of person and race are they
great. Now ask the same questions to some Bangladeshi or Africans
Rasa2 abg lebih baik Tanya org Bangladesh ke rohingya ke lagi menarik😂 APA pandangan mereka datang Malaysia buat MCM negara mereka
nnt diorang ckp.. Malaysia bagus.. ulang2 ckp itu je laa 😅
Buat la bang CZcams tanya diorang 🤦🏻♂️ dia ni dah bagus dah promoting Malaysia jarang tgk content mcm ni kat Malaysia sgt membantu rakyat Malaysia yg bukan dalam bidang pelancongan tahu apa kelemahan Malaysia ni bagi mata tourist kadang² yang tahu hanya org dalam bidang tu je💁🏻 good job bro 👍
mereka kena discriminate dgn org kita, why? i also dont know why .
He forgot to interview the other foreiners in malaysia like pakistan,bangladesh, etc that is abit discrimination
As a foreigner, one thing really annoys me is the foreign entrance fees especially those natural attractions.
I understand we need workers to maintain and pick up rubbish e.t.c. but the most ironic thing is the locals who always leave rubbish behind them.
The rest is good.
you're right, I agree with you 100%
It’s not just about garbage collection. It’s a privilege for citizens who have paid taxes.
However, tourists may still enjoy low prices. For $150 you can stay in a luxury 5 star hotel for a night next to the world’s tallest twin towers.
@@kurtx8827 we are talking about discrimination here. The hotel is cheap due to many reasons, it is not a privilege or discrimination towards foreigners.
@@Complain2023 Foreigners paying more to enter an attraction is not discrimination. That is a privilege for citizens who have paid taxes. Got it?
@@kurtx8827 I don't think you get it at all.
I understand if something is subsidized then foreigners should be paid more.
Private amusement park/ hotel/ museum, those are privately run and some how you always see a foreigner's price tag.
Sometimes there are differences between racism, pre-judgement, stupid and ignorance
Discrimination still have in Malaysia, not all Malaysian are perfect
if you are White/European you will not face discrimination. if you are African or other Asian you will face discrimination
bang.. jangn lupa pegi interview bangla, nepal, vietnam..
Well, Malaysia is among the few countries in the world didn't ratify UN's 'The International Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination' (ICERD). Malaysia is also one only country segregates it's own citizens into two groups which is Bumiputera and Non-Bumiputera. There is also special privillages for majority Malay muslims interms of education, jobs in public sector and economic packages.
also same country allow hundred languages to speak in public. this is the 1st thing
No one cares , keling ...
Ang moh will never be discriminated in formal colonial country. Everyone treats them warmly. Especially obvious when u and ang moh walk into shop, surely the sale person will warmly greet the ang moh😬
Racism in Malaysia?
The local Chinese/Indian 😅

Hey how about try asking a Malay Staff in a chinese company. I’m very intrigued to know the answers
we are nicer when you are nice.. and we go the other way around as well
i am solo woman traveller and the first time in malaysia and i van say clearly yes i feel quite often stared and watched but i think it‘s mostly the indian,bangladeshi,pakistani and other muslim people who live and work there. My opinion for me in personal it doesn‘t feel so good. I try to understand that but yeah i‘m a woman that is the reason why the stare at me so much.
I think malaysia isn‘t my favorite country because of these experiences i never had in the other countries of southeast asia
I've been in Malay for the last 7 years and it's been the kindest people i've seen so far in my journey..
good content bro
My oldest sister in law is British...never have any problems like that. She lives here more than 40 years.
funny thing is that here in Malaysia... foreigners arent discriminated especially from the EU.... but when comes to fellow southeast asian, they immediately become racist... no matter if u r Malaysian going to the Indonesia or Thailand or vice versa.
Unfortunately, some tourists exploit the nice and generous treatment by beg-packing, asking for money to pay for their next trip. If that were to happened in a European country, and a pair of tourists were asking for money on the street, they would be apprehended.
I think you should ask bangladesh and rohingya foreign who working in malay restaurant to see their honest answer
They are not tourist but workers
The kids at my school say the N word daily. It's not even funny, its pathetic.
And yeah, I am malaysian.
Apparently it's "comedic" to other people, and they call their own friends a SLUR.

This is actually a good interview. Maybe the comment section will calm down if he titled it as 'tourists'. I agree that foreigners who lived her longer from Bangladesh,Rohingya etc gets different treatment but there are other issues such as legality of entry and generalization from Msians who are racists or people who have bad experience with them. For tourists tho it's completely different, they are guests and will be treated as such. If you all watch more travel interviews in SEA foreigners do point out Msia is really chill and they feel a sense of belonging here compared to other SEA country as we've everyone from everywhere. We should however treat our foreign workers better and cherish our multi cultural country
And with four directions there are four blocks of countries too in Asia.
I think you're asking the wrong type of foreigner... Try the non white one.. heck even as Sarawakian, i still get stupid question.
The slogan "Malaysia belongs to Malay" openly and publicly declare since many moons ago said it all on racism.
Would be better if you talked to Foreigners who are not White. I mean anyone from other Asian and/or Subcontinent countries... Whites always get better treatment so to have a complete picture, include other foreigners next time as well.
Most of them are camera-shy, I’ll try again later
You should ask Pakistan Chinese Indian and Bangladesh too. It would be different story.
Correction, we are not friendly. We are just obsessed with white people. Enough if you have white skin, no need to speak English. Can guarantee you 10000%. But if you are black, enough if you are brown, you can see the discrimination. But if you black or brown and popular, then it's going to be ok. So please take advantage of that. As Malaysia, I know what really happen in this country. not saying y Country is bad, but this happens to all Asian country.
White & Light skin foreigners are treated well, dark skin, black people not so much. The darker your skin tone the more badly you will be treated.
There is alot of discrimination and racism in Malaysia
Malaysians are friendly towards the Europeans but not the other races. Something to do with colonialism.
MALAYsians are not discriminative against foreigners who are white but to foreigners who are brown and non bumi.
SEA countries have their own Royal’s, Religion, Race & Moral Value as long foreigner’s especially western foreigner’s respect that they will be fine.
As a Malaysian I can say foreigners don't have any problems regarding racism.....only Malaysian have problem among ourselves......
This is really really untrue im sorry to say.
Unless if your Indonesian / Bangladeshi
@@tartanpimpernel6358 Malaysia belongs to the Malays with 9 Malay Raja.. Poor people from india,bangladesh, china, etc came to work in estates and tin mines. These contract workers don't want to go back to back, that is the problem. If they go back there will be no race problem
Our local peoples very nice to others
We are the only country in the world that advertise racism
Hey.. ask other immigrants especially other SEA countries. How theyre treated here.
dude why the intro at somewhere so familiar
I work as phone technician..At my work place , i face with Foreigner's customer very Often..I once meet US black people who are very speak fluently Malay language, it shocked me because they use "Saye Kite Rase" they don't use formal language at all😂
I Also meet a lot foreigners friends because of EMINEM song believe or not..i play EMINEM song a lot in my shop , so like US / FRANCE / RUSSIA they like EMINEM...they always ask me "what you favourite song"
Me : MockingBird / Rap God / The Real Slim Shady / Till I Collapse / Venom / Godzilla
those blacks have a train of malay women who shared their bed, so they are fluent in the language.

It not weird if you behave like this , because yes..INDONESIAN was once the most toxic race on asian🤣 , even NEWS from INDONESIAN says that🤣
Nop, cuz they studied in malaysia
@@mrj475 what Nop for???😂 what ???
You are asking the wrong kind of people. It is the locals that this question is supposed to be directed at and not the tourist. There is a difference between "Pendatang" and "Pendatang Asing" which the locals knows very well.
Nope, this is only suitable for gaining European/Caucasian followers, not really locals like us.
Most people know how the Asian treated the WHITE AND NON WHITE!! You should ask the tourist from other part of Asia how the local treated them😊 Life in Europe for 17 years i feel Asian is warm nice people😊
We Malaysians don't like to or have time for staring at foreigners as we always mind our own business. Manners are important to us, and we always treat tourists like locals. If they receive stares, it is definitely not from Malaysians but from foreign workers (Bangladesh or Indonesian) who work in big cities like Kuala Lumpur. Most Malaysians don't stay in Kuala Lumpur; rather, they stay in suburbs as there are more lively places outside Kuala Lumpur and just go a big city to work. So dont worry to all foreigners tourist you are always welcome in Malaysia.
As a Malaysian i could say We treat Foreign ppl better than local🤣if he or she dont do anything stupid
I haven't been to SE Asia, but I've been to Taiwan, and over there it was a completely different story. You definitely got treated better if you were an Asian. They made it so obvious that they view non-Asians as untrustworthy and inferior to them, and therefore unworthy of the same treatment. Like one example is, I could stand in line for something, and they would take care of the Asian customers first, even if I was in line before them. And Asians were able to get away with things that non-Asians would get scolded for. If I started listing everything, this comment would be like a page long, but the gist of it is, that Asians in general were more respected and trusted then non-Asians. It's like, if you don't look like them, talk like them and conform to their customs and virtues, they look down on you. As a non-Asian, I honestly did not feel comfortable there, and would not go back to another East Asian country for the reason. SE Asia on the other hand, I'm somewhat more open to, and have been seriously looking into it, but I still don't think I'd feel super comfortable there. Malaysia however, I literally had zero interest in until a week ago, but I didn't know it had such a diverse array of attractions. And the country is very multicultural and far more modern then other countries in the region, so I don't think I'd feel as uncomfortable there.
THAT being said, you should interview other Malaysians, especially Indians, and you might get very different answers.
I was living in Malaysia for 7 years and i lived in the middle class Area, sure malaysia is clean and beautifull but i did face many bad experience. At my work place they always give me dirty looks and they always laughed at me when i walked pass them. My apartment's stuff didn’t like foreigners so they treated us shitty as if we were garage. In the hero market they treat us like some thieves. One of the worst experience that i had was when a group of young malaysian bikers attacked us with acid we were lucky because our school was near and we run inside but my brother's shirt was ruined, there was a big hole in his shirt because of the acid.
wow, are you black?
I think everyone hate the biker gang, many of them was arrested now and then.
