Thanks for the information.
Here is a related question: I'm a Black American; darker than Obama.
I only rarely recognized racial issues while on assignment in Singapore; a couple of odd looks and meeting one person who had never seen hair like mine before. This is better than most countries that I've lived/worked in (been all over the world).
However, I have always been a worker employed by a foreign company and never had to "live on" the Singaporean system. Can I expect my race to hurt me here?
