Quite an interesting thread. Some observations of my own.
Wife battering is certainly prevalent among the Indians and I suspect it has to do with high incidence of alcoholism. No excuse but it is well documented.
Indians in police and army are mainly due to lack of employment opportunities in the corporate world in the past. On a per capita basis, Indians are overly represented in Commando Units from the day it was formed and they are there not to serve biscuits and tea. The same with PTT. The first 3 of the team that stormed SQ117 and killed the hijackers were in Indians. They were not there to switch of the lights. When the team was assembled in preparation for this incident, during roll call, 2 Chinese commandos stepped forward claiming to be sick and did not form part of the assault team.
The Chinese are industrious, diligent and highly motivated if it involves money, control over their own destiny and their family. Indians prefer to follow a certain path , good at following instructions and tend to be spiritual. So they make good civil servants ranging from doctors to clerks and remain with the Public service. Chinese will tend to follow a vocation where there is an opportunity to strike out on his own.
There is no doubts that Chinese are always fighting and there is also no doubt that without a gang, you will not see a fight. It is something the British Protectorate realised during colonial days. Darren was not killed by a lone Chinese individual. A chinese even with a gang will not be caught dead without a weapon. Indians however will go into a fight without weapons and numbers and this tells me they tend to be brave but not smart.
Malays are relatively peaceful by nature. However when they get angry, run for the hills. They will not wait for a gang. They will gone into a another state of mind and the term running "Amok" is a Malay origin. Malays tend to fight over women, Chinese over money and Indians for no rhyme or reason.
The reason the Chinese were slaughtered by the numbers by the invading Japanese was due to the monetary support of KMT and Mainland China. The Chinese were certainly not running any form of the "French Resistance". The Indians some of whom crossed over the Indian National Army which was aligned to Japanese in the false hope of securing independence for India.
There is no need to use profanities, there is no need to bring in mothers and fathers. Certainly not when Teflon is involved. He has always has the right ingredients for a good dish but till today he still does not know how to put the ingredients together. His Laksa will look green, there will noodles in it and it will served on flat plate with no gravy. When you ask him why, he will tell you that it is dry dish no need bowl with a straight face.. This is why education is so important. If Teflon was born an Indian, I am sure none of us will blink an eye with the amount of TCSS. Talk so much, ask to meet for fight and then give an excuse that he does not harm pets.
Does this even make any sense. Screwball isn't talking about the fight itself he's saying the one to enter 1st is the bravest. If that were the case why not they award medals for ppl that enter the combat zone first.
