The "race" on the ic is what is causing the racism in Singapore.

Its not racist. It shows the inflexibility and the flaws of the education system in Singapore. During my school days there are many Indians that chose to study Mandarin rather then Tamil. Their reason, why should they study a language that doesn't help them in the future. Tamil is only one of many languages in India. Being proficient in it doesn't get you far in the sub continent.

Mother's tongue right? should be bahasa Indonesia, not Chinese or Tamil, the school daft, the child is a "chap cheng", so Chinese won't be wrong. Don't think the father can speak or write Tamil, I have known some, who speak Malay to their Tamil grandparents & can't write a single word of Tamil.

hi there

As I only ever know there is only one race. The rest are just invented to segregate us from one another and is the cause of most human genocides, wars.
