This is why I laugh whenever anyone lauds Singapore for stuff like public housing.
They literally have an immigration schema, if you want permanent resident to citizen track, that requires immigrants to match the ethnic makeup of the country's citizens.
So you have all these white public housing advocates, talking about how great public housing is in Singapore, but they leave out that you have to have PR or citizenship to get it, and they've accomplished making all that possible by having like half their population non-citizens who pay taxes for housing they're ineligible to get and then the people living in the public houses are ethnically guaranteed non-replacement.

To think if you lucked out in some genomic lottery to be allowed to have extreme privilege in society, this sounds like a fucking nightmare There are a lot of cool and neat things about Singapore but damn do a lot of things feel like the kind of things that keep me up at night. But honestly, the modern GOP is closer to enforcing such requirements than any opposing party.
