Indian Stereotypes

Hi,

Tamil Murasu, the Singapore's National Tamil Paper runs its weekly youth page called "Illayar Murasu" every thursday.

We discuss various "controversial" social issues, such as gangsterism, discrimination of the dark complexioned girls, teenage suicide, violent computer games etc.

This week's Illayar Murasu, will be discussing the stereotypes that Indians face in Singapore.

Two of them being "Alcoholics" and "Wife-beaters".

Some of the question we have put across to fellow youth regarding this topic are

- Have you faced problems with such stereotypes?
- Have you encountered other stereotypes?
- How did you deal with the stereotypes?


Cheers.
