Is this specific to some region? I’m Singaporean and I don’t see this kind of view here. If anything, there’s quite a bit of casual racism towards white people here.
It’s a term which divides specifically on colour for white and black people, but not others. I’m darker than Asian friends of mine so it makes sense they could say they are whiter. Staying out of the sun here is a way to stay pale and a sign of status.
By early 2023, the teenager had developed an intense hatred of communities typically targeted by far-right extremists, including African Americans, Arabs and LGBTQ individuals, said ISD.
“Fuelled by online extremist rhetoric, he came to believe that African Americans were responsible for a significant percentage of crime in the United States, and deserved to ‘die a horrible death’,” it added.
“He also perceived illegal Arab immigrants as having committed violent attacks against white populations in Western countries.”
ISD said the teenager subscribed to the Great Replacement Theory commonly referenced by far-right terrorists like the Christchurch attacker, which propagated the idea that the indigenous white population in Western countries were in danger of being replaced by non-white immigrants.

“Specifically, he shared his interest to conduct a mass shooting in the US in 10 years’ time in a far-right online chat group,” said the ISD.
This is clearly in relation to American style white supremacy, nothing to do with Asian views towards skin colour.
Good points, but why, because he sees himself as white or different from darker people (such as black people)? Or that he sees himself as an indigenous Singaporean and fears of being replaced too? Ironic, as his position is similar to that of the white population in New Zealand, neither are indigenous.
Pretty sure it’s just mental issues. They have these weird feelings, find people on the internet who feel the same. Gets brainwashed, loves it. Becomes a republican.
Yes, as I mentioned, it is similar to that of white people in New Zealand, neither they nor him are indigenous, yet the argument was used by the Christchurch attacker.
I don’t get people some times.
Lots of Chinese seem themselves as white. And plenty of Asians consider lighter skin to mean wealth and upper class.

Just another loser desperately seeking a group to accept them.
Sometimes your wyrd is just to be the village outcast. Ain’t right or wrong, just is.

Not to detract from your point but indigenous Singaporeans are of Malay descent whereas the guy here is of Chinese descent.

Too much time on 4chan or some other similar site if I was to guess. Kid needed some time away from the keyboard.
