> The label "Asian" doesn't really exist outside of the west. The Malays, Chinese and Tamils all have their own languages, ethnic backgrounds, culture and religion. They are not, and don't see themselves, as being instances of some general "Asian" race - that's a very western perspective. Where are the Africans? Where are the Europeans, the Latin Americans? Out of 7 continents, essentially everyone in Singapore is from the same continent. It could be more diverse. To take your race point, I acknowledge that continent doesn't equal race. But even by that point, what do you have to say about 75% of Singaporeans being Han Chinese, and ~95% of people being Han or Malay? That alone is quite the opposite of diverse. Sure, there may be a lot of languages, but the entire population is still close to just two ethnic groups.
