Race Relations in Malaysia videos (from BBC's Crossing Continents)
Interestingly, the BBC chose to distinguish between a Malay and Muslim view. How accurate would that categorisation be within the larger Malaysian context? Is there truly a a Malay, and then a Muslim view?
My guess is things, naturally, would be more complex than simple divisions like the BBC's. Take the 'Muslim' view featured for example. I would venture that the interviewee would be from an English-speaking (or at the very least from an environment where English is strongly present in the everyday) urban background with an interest in religion. Would an Arab-trained graduate in religious sciences voice the same opinions as 'Sue'? Or would they have more in common with the views expressed by our UiTM friend?
On another note, is there a video on the 'Chinese' view? I can't seem to find it on Youtube.

It seems to me the only thing that these videos proved is that Malaysians talk from their asses. Idiotic pro-malay bastard, stupid anti-malay son of a bitch and wtf-i'm-so-muslim ignoramus: 1Malaysia indeed.
