It seems about as multicultural as HK is, which is not very. You can tell by the amount of racism that is permitted. Also, can a White person truly be Singapo

It seems about as multicultural as HK is, which is not very.
You can tell by the amount of racism that is permitted.
Also, can a White person truly be Singaporean?
- refurb 5y agoI mean Singapore has 4 official languages, 3 major ethnic groups (Chinese, Malay and Indian), and ~50% of the population are foreigners. And yes, you a white person can be Singaporean. There aren't many, but there are Singaporean politicians who are white but Singaporean by birth.
- HKH2 5y agoI didn't mean legally. I meant culturally. Are they able to be just as culturally connected as everyone else, or would some people assume they are a foreigner even if they were born there?
- refurb 5y agoMy experience there was that if you fit within one of the 3 core ethnic groups people would assume your Singaporean. But if you’re in the “other” group then yeah, people would assume you’re a foreigner.
- HKH2 5y agoThat sounds like HK. I guess HK and Singapore are multicultural in that you are rather limited in what you can assume is general knowledge. They don't seem anywhere near as multicultural as places where you hear a wide variety of ethnic groups using the same kind of accent though.
