Are Malays really that racist?

Now, before we go further into this, let me clear some things first. Just like the Democratic Action Party of Malaysia is, I am NOT a racist. I am a multi-racial, centre-left Malaysian person advocating social democracy and secularism, social justice, progressivism, and multi-racialism. I hold the Malaysian Constitution supreme, observe the rule of law and a Malaysian at heart. I have Chinese, Indian, Iban, Sabahans, Singh, dan lain lain friends. Friends that I grew up with, went to school, worked, lived life with and sometimes more than that, sometimes less. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Malaysian_Chinese

I am also partially a "Pendatang":

My grandfather came to Malaysia when he was 16 years old. He took a trip on a ship from Hadhramout, Yemen to Singapore and got a job there, trading gold. 2 years later, he got married to my grandmother, pictured here in their wedding picture. pic.twitter.com/b9OM5glaeY

— Rakyat: will be back next year. (@twt_malaysia) March 4, 2019

 My second-generation family (father, uncles, aunties), in recent years, have visited Yemen a few times and few of them say that it is the best place to live in the world. I, personally think its an insult to my grandfather who migrated so far and tried as much as himself to assimilate here with the Malaysian people, wearing a songkok and a kain pelikat every single day. If Yemen was such a great place to live in, why did he come to Malaysia?

“I pity the poor immigrant,” Bob Dylan sang 50 years ago, “Who wishes he would’ve stayed home.”

So to all the immigrants and all pendatangs here, I kinda understand how you wish things were the same back home but then again, NO ONE would ever go live there again no matter how favourable it is. I have no statistics at hand but I really don't know a significant number of people whose grandparents migrated to Malaysia then they moved back to the place of their origin, be it Yemen, India or China. But strangely, even more Chinese are coming to Malaysia even though its allegedly "racist" here. If Malaysia is so racist towards Chinese, why are they coming here?

Before we go further to discuss how racist Malays are, lets just see some definitions of Malay, just to get a feel of what we are discussing about. And let's get it from Urban Dictionary, because it is Urban and modern.

This is the top definition

2nd Definition is so semangat one

And this is the best:

Even Malay leaders say they are lazy and dishonest. But I would say that if I were Tun M though. Rather than own up to my failures, yeah why not blame the whole entire race for some managers. Sure.

And for me the hardest part for me to understand is, the statement of "Lazy Malays" as if it was a negative connotation. When the white people does it, it's work life balance, when Malays do it, its laziness? That's a bit racist isn't it?

And look, if you cannot triumph over lazy and stupid Malays, who is actually the stupid and lazy ones then? And if you triumph, what is the racism all about when you clearly have overcame everything and became victors?


So, this racism and "oppression" bit is a little bit over the top in my opinion. Injustice do happen and there are a lot of things we need to do to fix this country but to blow everything out of proportion is a useless effort and an insult. As if I don't grow up with other non Malays and see them everyday from school until the amazing the professionals that they are now. They don't go concentration camps or died. It's like saying that the Malays and Islam in Malaysia are in danger of being attacked. Both are ridiculously far fetched and if we are to really correct this country we have to start somewhere and if both sides continue this we will never be at peace and that's what probably what the political leaders wants us to be. Don't we have enough work being pressed by our employers that we still have to argue with between races everyday?

Sorry to digress. I started with Are Malays really that racist? and I should continue to compare it with other races, globally.

Anti-Chinese sentiment or Sinophobia (from Late Latin Sinae "China" and Greek φόβος, phobos, "fear") is a sentiment against China, its people, overseas Chinese, or Chinese culture. It often targets Chinese minorities living outside of China and involves immigration, development of national identity in neighbouring countries, disparity of wealth, the past central tributary system, majority-minority relations, imperialist legacies, and racism.Its opposite is Sinophilia.

THESE are the countries that HATES Chinese people, their culture and China.

In 2013, Pew Research Center from the United States conducted a survey over Sinophobia, finding that China was viewed favorably in just half (19 of 38) of the nations surveyed, excluding China itself. Beijing's strongest supporters were in Asia, in Malaysia (81%) and Pakistan (81%)

In the United Kingdom:

The United Kingdom developed a strong Sinophobic sentiment dated back at 1800s when China and the British Empire fought for influence in Asia. It resulted with the First Opium War which Qing China suffered a tremendous defeat and forced to pay fee. Since then, due to strong anti-British sentiment in China, anti-Chinese sentiment grew in the U.K. as a response. Such negative impression on China was exported to the world mainly due to the British.

https://www.theparisreview.org/blog/2017/05/05/unspeakable-affections/

Today, negative impression over China continues to be an issue in the United Kingdom. The Chinese emigrants in Britain often issued themselves to be among the most discriminated people.

In The US:
The Chinese Exclusion Act was a United States ("Land Of The Free") federal law,  signed by President Chester A. Arthur on May 6, 1882, prohibiting all immigration of Chinese laborers. This is is the only time that the US had ever imposed immigration law against a single race/country.

In South East Asia :

Indonesia

The Dutch introduced anti-Chinese laws in the Dutch East Indies. The Dutch colonialists started the first massacre of Chinese in the 1740 Batavia massacre in which tens of thousands died. The Java War (1741–43) followed shortly thereafter.

The asymmetrical economic position between ethnic Chinese Indonesians and indigenous Indonesians has incited anti-Chinese sentiment among the poorer majorities. During the Indonesian killings of 1965–66, in which more than 500,000 people died (mostly non-Chinese Indonesians), ethnic Chinese were killed and their properties looted and burned as a result of anti-Chinese racism on the excuse that Dipa "Amat" Aidit had brought the PKI closer to China. In the May 1998 riots of Indonesia following the fall of President Suharto, many ethnic Chinese were targeted by Indonesian rioters, resulting in a large number of rapes and looting. There were significant outbreaks in the early 1960s. Violence against Chinese also took place in 1965 after the failed coup attempt during anti-communist purges,the main target of the killings were Native Indonesian communists. 

In 1998, many Chinese businesses were burned down, while dozens of women raped during the May riots.

The use of Chinese Indonesians as scapegoats is partly caused by their lack of political power and government protection. The New Order policy of assimilation has also been seen as a factor; the need to assimilate the ethnic Chinese "indicated that Chinese cultural elements are unacceptable".
Discrimination, distrust, and violence against Chinese Indonesians is caused in part by a perception that they are still loyal to China, and only see Indonesia as a place to live and work. They are also seen as being "exclusive", unwilling to mingle with other ethnic groups, as well as discriminating against native Indonesians in their business relations.

Thailand
At the 20th century, Plaek Phibunsongkhram launched a massive Thaification, including oppression of Thailand's Chinese population and hampered Thai Chinese communities, banning teaching Chinese language, forced adopting Thai names. Plaek's obsession toward creating a pan-Thai nationalist agenda caused heavy resentment by Thai Chinese until he was removed at 1944.

Hostility towards the mainland Chinese increased with the influx of visitors from China in 2013.

Philippines
The Spanish introduced the first anti-Chinese laws in the Philippine archipelago. The Spanish massacred or expelled Chinese several times from Manila, and the Chinese responded by fleeing to the Sulu Sultanate and supporting the Moro Muslims in their war against the Spanish. The Chinese supplied the Moros with weapons and joined them in fighting the Spanish directly during the Spanish–Moro conflict.

The standoff in Spratly Islands and Scarborough Shoal between China and the Philippines contributes to anti-China sentiment among Filipinos. Campaigns to boycott Chinese products began in 2012. People protested in front of the Chinese Embassy and it had led the Chinese embassy to issue travel warning for its citizens to the Philippines for a year.

Cambodia
During the late 1960s an estimated 425,000 ethnic Chinese lived in Cambodia. By 1984, as a result of the Khmer Rouge genocide and emigration, only about 61,400 Chinese remained in the country.

The hatred for Chinese was projected on the ethnic Chinese of Cambodia during 80s. A Vietnamese report had noted "In general, the attitude of young people and intellectuals is that they hate Cambodian-Chinese."

Malaysia

Due to race-based politics and Bumiputera policy, there had been several incidents of racial conflict between the Malays and Chinese before the 1969 riots. For example, in Penang, hostility between the races turned into violence during the centenary celebration of George Town in 1957 which resulted in several days of fighting and a number of deaths, and there were further disturbances in 1959 and 1964, as well as a riot in 1967 which originated as a protest against currency devaluation but turned into racial killings.The 13 May Incident probably the highest race riot happen in Malaysia with more than 143 or suggested 600 killed, mostly Chinese.

In 2019 : 

Roughly 600 Chinese Schools

7 Ministers (Including Finance), 6 Deputy Ministers. 

This is a list of notable Malaysians of Chinese origin, including original immigrants who obtained Malaysian citizenship and their Malaysian descendants. 

This list also includes emigrant Malaysians of Chinese origin and could be taken as a list of famous Malaysians of Chinese origin.
