Trusting other races

I got this survey results from Malaysia Today, awhile back.  Its quite insightful, although I cant relate to it because I dont trust based on race or looks.  The funny thing that I observed from the results of this survey is that chinese are not very trusting people and viewed as not trust worthy by the other races…. even by their own. 
  
……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………..
 
During the second Malaysian Student Leaders Summit, the Merdeka Centre released a poll report, revealing that the three major races in Malaysia – Chinese, Malays and Indians did not trust in each other:
·         Only 39% of Chinese trusted in Malays, and 38% of Malays trusted in Chinese.
·         Only 29% of Chinese trusted in Indians, and 35% of Indians trusted in Chinese.
·         57% of Indians trusted in Malays, and 55% Malays trusted in Indians.
·         39% of Chinese and 46% of Indians considered themselves as second-class citizens.
·         83% of Malays trusted in Malays, 75% of Indians trusted in Indians and only 57% of Chinese trusted in Chinese.
·         78% of Chinese believed that local politicians should be blamed for segregating the people by playing racial politics. In other words, politicians who play around with racial issues should bear the greatest responsibility. Meanwhile, the survey’s conclusion stated that the mistrust remained prevalent is likely because of Malaysians’ views of each other’s religion, ethnicity and culture were confused.
The survey was done two years ago. The outcome was alarming, but not surprising. I believe that the results would be very likely the same if a similar survey is carried out today.
