Is there racism at NUS Business School?

People speaking Chinese in front of non-Chinese speakers happens a lot in Singapore, and it's annoying af. I don't think it's so much racism but more inconsiderate behavior by the dominant majority.
The student asking an Indian why she doesn't speak Chinese...he's just a supreme moron. In Singapore, no one expects a person of a particular race to speak a different race's language.

Maybe your post just proves her point...

singaporeans understand that non chinese dont speak chinese in expectation. its the foreign chinese students who think singapore is a chinese country who believe everyone speaks chinese.
I am calling BS propaganda on this one. Please take the blogger's post seriously. Indian-Singaporeans can distinguish between Singaporean and Chinese persons.

Racist Singaporean: We are not racist like you Westerners; we are proud of our unique "culture."
Westerner: You seem pretty racist to me. Why are the South Asians construction workers? Why are the maids non-Singaporean?
Racist Singaporean: They have "unique" roles in our society.
Westerner: Hmmmmm. I call BS

If you go Europe, they speak in their mother tongue. So what's wrong with that?
Did you even read the original post?
I read it. It's another minority victim rant. Just like the muslims here.
The Chinese is the superior race in Singapore just like the Jewish or Anglo-Saxon in U.S

Indian-Singaporean here. Is there outright racism/hatred of minorities at NUS? Extremely rare. People are friends with people of all races, eat all kinds of food, etc.
The blogger seems to mention 2 things - 1) someone expressing disbelief about the blogger not being able to speak Chinese, and 2) people in groups speaking in their own mother tongue. I'm personally astounded that the person mentioned in 1) exists in Singapore. I've never in my entire life here come across any Chinese person who expects an Indian to speak Mandarin. 2) is far more common, but isn't really racist. I've seen group of Indians switch to Tamil when surrounded mostly by Indian friends, for instance.
That said, it isn't all smooth sailing. Chinese slightly distrust the Malays or Indians. Malays distrust the Chinese. Singaporean-Chinese tend to look down on the China-Chinese and Singaporean-Indians are slightly jealous of the India-Indians. But all these sentiments tend to be rather vague and quickly disappear when they actually make acquaintances with people of the other group.
