This thread reeks of Ketuanan Melayu, which is a lot similar to white supremacy. https://twitter.com/_amirulfahmie/status/1266339389015076864
The similarity here is that in the US white people are the majority and in Malaysia, Malays are the majority. In general in any country where you see a majority race, that race will "rule". Usually they'd want benefits for themselves eg school quotas.
What do we hear in Malaysia? "Hak bumiputra", "hak melayu". What about the other races? Don't they have equal rights?
In the replies, the conversation has morphed into classic "what-about-ism":
"You're highlighting Malays je racist. Other races are racists too"

Racism exists across races. No one is denying that.
The difference I see here is when a majority race exercise their racism over minorities. That is what you see in white supremacy and ketuanan Melayu.
