There is an uncomfortable question we rarely ask honestly in Malaysia. Who is really racist?
For years, the public conversation has often been framed in one predictable way: the majority is expected to be the oppressor, while minorities are assumed to be permanent victims.
Any policy involving Malays, Islam, Bumiputera institutions, MARA, or religious education is immediately placed under suspicion. It is questioned, mocked, and dissected as though anything connected to Malay-Muslim identity must first prove that it deserves to exist.
But when Islam is insulted, when tahfiz students are mocked, when Malay-Muslim children are ridiculed for being given an opportunity, the same people who speak loudly about tolerance suddenly become very quiet.
Worse, some of them join in.
