I suddenly realized today that when I was young I thought that only 4 racial categories existed for the different races/ethnic groups
Indian-Malay-Chinese-Ang Moh
Only after getting interested in the Akha people and studying about race and ethnicity that I knew that there were many more categories and that these categories can be infinite like colours mixing with each other!
But when doing all those readings, I never knew that when I was a kid, I only recognized these 4 categories
It seems that I am unlearning stuffs which I have been learning when I was younger
Is this the fault of the teacher, MOE or the government?
