Can't answer your other questions, but I can answer your last question.
"Is there discrimination against white people, professionally or otherwise?"
It depends on who you talk to and how you view it.
Generally, the government here discriminates against its own citizens in many respects, and has sing the "foreign talent" tune for more than a decade.
The term "foreign talent" itself connotes discrimination. Think about it.

As for the public, white people often come across to them, as smarter, more articulate and better looking. Most of them have a penchant for all things western. They look down on their own kind.
Welcome to Singapore! You'll live like a king here.
