Racism will forever exist. But many a times, it is not racism, its classism or tribalism.
Racism CAN be managed, if people can stop being butt hurt so easily by any "racially-charged" comment or joke. Instead, take it along our strides, and the "perpetrator" will get bored real fast. THEN that "racism" stops.
Most of the time, its just people being assholes. Nothing to do with race.
The same happened in the USA. People are confusing Racism and Classism. You cannot call USA a racist country, when they had only in recent history elected a Black President, and Kanye West managed to become a billionaire (just this year). Its not racism. Its something else.
If you formulate the question wrongly, you will be demanding a solution/answer to what is essentially a non-existent problem. What is worse, is that the proposed solution/answer might actually become a self-fulfilling prophecy, make the non-existent problem, exist (and unsolvable)
Do we have racial problem in Singapore? No.
Do we have intolerant problem in Singapore? Perhaps.
Do we have an education problem (to understand each other)? Absolutely.
