  What do you think of our stereotyping of Bangladeshi workers?
  I believe that you realize some of the stereotypes we know on them.
  
  Do you think that it will cause our society to doubt their physical contribution to our nation(the countless buildings and infrastructures) or MAYBE treat them as cheap labor? Or even we might become wary of them?

  They are stereotyped because the media portrayed them as rapists; they almost don't turn up in the news unless they raped someone.
  
  So... I don't go near them. I try to keep a safe distance from them not only because I've been influenced by the media, and also because the crime rate for rapes in their country is also quite high, I think.

  media somehow always protray the bad things that happens to them be it paralysis as a result of industrial accidents or crimes committed by them... happens to sgians as well but maybe not that well highlighted... perhaps that is where the sterotyping comes from... but one common sterotype which might be true for the most of them is this
  they come to SG work hard send most of the $$$ home so that their family members can have a good life and after the $$ converts back to their own currency, its enough to have a much more bigger house...
