Sure! as long it involves only the minorities.
Simply because that goes against the principle of meritocracyOriginally posted by Lessformore:Well if the quota system is so effective in racial integration and the GRC is so effective with minority representation, both rationas should be applied across the board.

Chinese schools have been well-known for creating the intrinsic mentality of Chinese Chauvanism. Likewise, the same applies to any racial issue: each race tends to stick to their own.Originally posted by gill_hfc:could someone please explain why we have ethnic segregation among schools here in singaapore? i do not recall seeing any students for example river valley high school hanging out with malay or indian students. and the same for the indian schools that have been created such as the bhavan international or the madarasahs for the muslim students. dont see any of the students from those schools either hanging out with chinese students. we contradict by having HDB ethnic quotas and on the other hand we have all this ethnic schools all over the place. what sort of message are we exactly sending to our children?
