    But if you are all Asian it’s bigotry or xenophobia or a few other terms that don’t involve the huge groups that are “races”. Colour prejudice looks like racism but doesn’t use the same hierarchy.

      Sure, we don’t have the “dark skin as slave fair skin as master” history, but we definitely practice it like we have it. It’s the same mindset.

      In Malaysia, whiteworshipping is very real. The darker you are, the worst you’re being treated, so indian are worst off because they have the darkest skin of all the ethnic in malaysia, they will have lower chance of getting jobs, house rental, and be treated as if they have higher chance of committing crime by the police. We even have derogatory name for them.
