> Europe, Asia, etc. they discriminate for different reasons and in different ways, but they all do it and it’s almost always overt.
As a Canadian living in Malaysia (just shy of being in the top 10 most racist countries[1]) this is definitely true (although not against me as a Caucasian). There have been several times where I am in a Grab and the casual conversation with the driver all of the sudden turns racist whether it's against Chinese, Bangladeshi, Indian etc. People over here are much less concerned about tact and racism is no exception.

I lived in KL for a little bit. Many casual conversations turned to how much better things were when the British (which I am) were in charge. Not something I was really expecting!
