Considering that numbers that just say, Asians are 90% intolerant!!! I don't think that even counts as statistics. Methodology, it's very important. Sampling populations even more so.

(This is totes relevant. really)

It's not so much that I think we should dismiss it all - but the ability to look critically? yes.

I know that my own country's history is problematic - a country with only j40+ years of history? It wasn't UNPOPULATED before the British decided Singapore would make a good port of call. But there's precious little out there about it, even Malaysia only has official history to about 1950s. Which plainly, leaves much to be desired.
