You know that was what I found amazing about Singapore. They touted tolerance for the different religions and races that lived in harmony. It was really special feeling initially. Until you started to realize that classes seemed to "work out" a particular way. Stereotypes, but some truth rooted there, Indians being guards, Malays being laborers, filipinos being housekeepers, Chinese being money handlers and business owners. You'd hear it in undertones and under breath.
