Xenophobia Runs Deep in Singapore's Multicultural Society The recent outburst of racist comments targeting India on social media has left many in Singapore aghast.
While the country's senior minister, K Shanmugam, condemned the online vitriol as "shameful" and "totally unacceptable," his words only scratch the surface of a more disturbing reality: xenophobia is alive and well in Singapore.
The comments emerged during discussions surrounding the Nepal floods and targeted not just Indians but also missing Singaporeans.
