Beef Story #132: Discriminated in Singapore because I'm not "Chinese" enough
Author: roob
So I've been looking for an apartment in Singapore and found a nice advertisement online for a room that matched my requirements quite nicely. The ad said something like "chinese only" so anticipating this, I told the agent that I am half-Chinese, speak basic Mandarin, and have lived in China for one year. The agent flat-out told me though that "the owner still prefer Chinese." I called her and she tested my chinese ability with some simple questions and I replied promptly and proved to her I can still chingchong. Later though she texted again and said, "the owner insist on Chinese only."
王八蛋!!!!
VERDICT: RACIST
