You know why after 50 years, the 3 main races in Malaysia are no closer in relations than they were 50 years ago?

In fact thanks to the Malay-dominated Government, the divisive policies on governing the country (social apartheid) are the reasons for a never united Malaysia. Policies are deliberately implemented to differentiate the Malay race from the other races and not because the minority groups refuse assimilation: special privileges for the 60% Malay race (all Moslems) continue to separate the Malaysian-Chinese, Indians and other ethnic groups.

Apart from national-type schools (all races), the 3 main races continue to school their youngsters in Malay, Chinese or Indian school. Political parties are also separated along racial lines - all of them actively engaging in commercial interests directly and indirectly.

Schools should never be all white, black, Christian or Islamic - their existence reflects how primitive and backward the culture of the people, even whites.

Shouldn't the onus be on Blacks and Asians to reach out to all-White/ traditional British schools in order to promote assimilation?

Well said, I think separation of many communities is self imposed for a variety of reasons, assimilation is the key not multiculturalism or the resulting Balkanisation of Europe.

Also why are the natives here 'White' I find that PC term quite offensive we are English or at least European... I guess we are not allowed an ethnic group these days just a blank space..!
