Could you elaborate? Is this is serious issue in Singapore?

.This is not true. We are not "the most superior race on earth." In the past, China was defeated by smaller nations like Britain and Japan and forced to endure more than a century of humiliation. That would not have happened if we were "the most superior race on earth." I was simply saying that China is a country of talented people that is currently lead by competent leaders.
On the other hand, I am glad that China was not influenced by India. I am not a religious man, but sometimes I find myself believing that God himself put the Himalayas there to shield our people from the influence of Hinduism. I have nothing but respect for the people for Pakistan. Pakistan is a civilized Muslim nation that has resisted Hinduism for so long. I hope that I can see that country become a great power one day.
....you know Buddhism is from India, right? Did you never read 西游记 as a kid?
Did you get that from Jai Hind wishcasters R us?
buddhism came from Nepal, siddartha gautama was from Nepal no matter how much the faeces connoisseurs would wish it otherwise.
Siddhartha Gautama was from Nepal. The man who became the Buddha is not the same as the entire religion of Buddhism. He spent his life as a wandering monk, and centuries after his death that his teachings spread to become a common religion. In India. Bodh Gaya, for example, is the place where he became enlightened.
You're an idiot to let modern narratives blind you to the facts of history. All of this happened thousands of years before Jai Hind nonsense.
No, I’m speaking out against the obvious fiction promulgated by Jai Hind Indian nationalists, which you were susceptible, that siddartha Gautama was Indian and Buddhism originated in India. Saying Buddhism is Indian is like saying Judaism is European when it originated from the Middle East no matter its promotion in its rabbinic form by ethnic Russians and Khazars, except in the case of Indian nationalists, the attempt is to steal glory rather than patiently waiting to die and reincarnate into something better.
I didn't say all Buddhism is Indian, I said Buddhism was from India. As it, that's where the religion started thousands of years ago. Since then it has obviously spread much farther and adapted to various cultural environments. Likewise, Judaism was from Judea. That obviously doesn't mean all modern Jews are Israeli.
Frankly it sounds like you just had some bad interactions with rabid Indians, for which I'm sorry, but that doesn't mean everyone you meet is a rabid Indian. Some people do twist history to their own ends, but that doesn't mean history itself is twisted.

If you just keep harping on their weaknesses and follies then you are doing yourself and talent a great disservice. It's fine to do it here to get brownie points, but if you do it in front of a less like-minded audience, you will become a laughing stock. Nepotism is surely bad and that is their mistake. But how were they able to get there in the first place and we Chinese couldn't? You are making a joke of the panel of directors who vote to pick their leaders. You think the people who chose the South Asia lady to lead Pepsi favored her because she was not their kind?
I live in Singapore and I don't look at our system as a role model. I look to China.
