RE:Malaysian

To start with, the features are spelt mOngoloid, and not mangaloid as the person who made the above comment seems to believe.

Second, anyone who has had the opportunity to travel to Malaysia or Singapore KNOWS VERY CLEARLY that Malays are a different ethnic group from the Chinese - these people are the indigenous peoples of the Malay peninsula.

On the other hand, people of Chinese origin, as this singer is, are called Chinese (or Chinese from Malaysia, since their nationality is Malaysian!)

It merely displays your ignorance that you are not able to make a simple distinction between ethnicity (which is what the writer is referring to), and nationality, which is completely different.

So next time please do YOUR homework before you write something so stupid - or if this is indicative of your IQ, please don't write such arrant nonsense (or anything else for that matter!)
