Racist Comments by the public targeted at specific groups of people with the intent to ostracize these minorities from society. This is not good as

Part 1:
- I witnessed once others make fun of my Indian friend for her skin colour, and name.
- Sometimes, I would witness how people on the bus would avoid sitting with people of a different race due to some preconceived opinions they have of the race.
- We have heard of how in school how there's a stereotype of Malays not being good in their studies too.

Part 2:
We feel that this shows how prevalent casual racism is still in Singapore. To ensure that we maintain racial harmony, we feel that it's of utmost importance to educate the younger kids and have more open conversations on race among students.

Part 1:
There was this one person who came up to me and asked me if i was a filipino and she explained that my skin was very dark so i look like/must have been a filipino.. - stereotyping

also someone i know [asian that stays in sg] went to college in the states and they had a host family who were from the US who were supposed to welcome them to the college. When they were invited to the host family's house for dinner, the first question the parents asked was, "in your country, do you guys have cars or do you still ride bicycles everywhere?" it was sort of stereotyping because first of all they just looked that this person and saw that they were asian and thought that they must have been from an under developed country. but it was also funny because they didn't know exactly what country this person was from -- it was an honest question from them but the way they asked it wasn't very considerate, they were judging based on this person's skin colour

There is a boy who is Chinese. He brought his home cooked Chinese food to school and the classmates said that the food was bad and it smells. He then had to sit alone and he was very sad.

Similarly, my brother has experienced a similar incident during recess when his classmates said that Indian food 'disgusting' and my brother felt sad and felt very left out

Part 1: We didn't really encounter any
part 2: It is very upsetting. Some people are very insensitive. These mean comments will hurt people's feelings. As a result, we cannot live harmoniously together :-(
We would approach the person and say that it is wrong to do so.
Some will just ignore and turn a blind eye. But we believe that it is not only about not engaging in the act but also being brave to step out and tell them it is the wrong thing to do.

The old chinese uncles and aunties at the HDB downstairs like to call the Indians names.

Part 1:
We have seen racist comments made online (these include just shouting out racial comments about those in other races) and there seems to be racial prejudice agains those who are from the Malays, Indians, eurasians as the Chinese feel that they do not belong to our country.
There are also stereotypes against those who are from the minority races. In society, They seem to need to live up to certain expectations as compared to those who are from teh Chinese race.

Part 2:
I feel that this is very disrespectful and unfair to the other races who did not do anything wrong. We are all citizens of Singapore and all of call Singapore home, thus, we should treat one another fairly.

Part 1:
People tend to leave racist and insensitive comments on other people's posts on Social Media. Name calling due to the difference in race and culture. Parents telling their children to stay away from children of other races. Making fun of people's different languages and races. Mocking different races' cultures [etc. there used to be a user on TikTok, who liked to post videos that mocked Indian culture and did it with strong racist sentiments.]

Experience 1: In primary school I overheard my classmate telling her other friends to not sit beside Indian girls as they have hair lice. I told my teacher about this and when she asked that girl why she said that racist comment, she replied that her mom advised her to not sit beside Indian girls because she might get hair lice from them.
Experience 2: My mom likes to think that "all Malays are dumb". One time she asked me who scored the lowest score in the math exam and then she asked "is that person Malay?"
Experience 3: There used to be a guy in my primary school who used to have a crush on me. I didn't even say anything but he was like " I have a crush on you but I don't think I can be close to you because my parents don't let me be around Indians".
Experience 4: My parents don't let me be close friends with Malays because they think that I might be negatively influenced by them and I will not focus on my studies properly.
Experience 5: Once in Mc Donald's there was a woman with a kid and an infant and she was already struggling to manage them. Hence, she couldn't return her tray. Then I overheard a conversation between 2 people beside me where they said " Indian people are always like this".

Part 1:
Experience:
"When I was in primary school, a girl found out that my mom was from china and asked me whether I ate dogs. She called me 'mad china women'. I felt stereotyped and I replied 'no' to her and ignored her from then on. My mom emailed the teacher when she found out about the incident and the teacher scolded the girl."
Witness:
People think that Malay children are not as academically inclined and only deserve to go to ITE.

Yunxi:
I was sitting on the 2 story bus, then got this dude walk up the stairs and saw this Indian dude sitting there, then was like "Ew so smelly, Indian smell" and walked back down the stairs. I wanted to scream at him but then I thought it wasn't a good idea cause there was one time me and my friends made so much noise on the bus a person compliant to the school.

Part 2:  I feel sad and disappointed at Singaporeans.
I wanted to scream at him but didn't.
There was no one else there.

Allison:
I wasn't there but my parents were below our block buying stuff or something, then there was this Indian lady who just came and said to my parents "You idiot" for no reason and my parents were very confused, but it was during that time when Chinese-looking people were blamed to be carrying covid so--

Part 2: I wasn't there
