Should we embrace cultural differences?
According to the Wall Street Journal, racial discrimination is pervasive in Singapore rental market. The ads specify against some people of certain races or nationalities (most often Indians and Chinese) and state the preference for other races/nationalities. This trend arises from certain stereotypes of specific categories of people.
Well, there was a incident where a Chinese successfully prevented a Singaporean Indian family from cooking curry because the Chinese did not like the smell. This incident gave rise to cook-a-pot-of-curry day.
Is this sufficient to scare off Singaporean home owners?
Is this a case of tit-for-tat?
If it is, then is is a stereotype of the Chinese?
