Last December, there was an uproar over a commentary piece titled “What Growing Up Privileged Taught Me About Being Malay”. The internet had A LOT to say, mainly about what they deemed was internalised racial and elitist undertones of the piece. But the guys at Randomly Relatable SG are a lot more forgiving, they acknowledge that the author might have been too young and eager. I’ve always deeply admired the kampung spirit of the Malay community, it’s something we’re trying to achieve at Something Private too! But what this incident demonstrates is our society’s need to unlearn and relearn the way we view race, class and privilege (duh!) We discuss! On part two of our podcast collaboration, Something Relatable. Let us know your comments, thoughts, opinions!!! 😜😜😜
