"Racist" racial integration policies?

I removed a claim about the Singapore government's racial integration policies being "racist" - a claim that, if made in the context of a white-majority country like the United States, would have a 100% empirical probability of coming from a racist - but then I realised that the heuristic I'm using wasn't necessarily valid for a country like Singapore, and my edit was reverted by someone else. But can we have a source for the claim of racism that is actually being made, that isn't some far-right wingnut website, please?--Greenrd (talk) 11:29, 21 January 2018 (UTC)

Religious discrimination

Yew was a well known islamophobe and a christophobe. I think the information should be added back. Rational Dude (talk) 18:45, 1 August 2023 (UTC)

"Fascists"?

Scholars never see him as a fascist.

He supported multiracialism. His rule was authoritarian but much more liberal than far-right dictators like Park Chung-hee and Chiang Kai-shek. Modern Singapore is a country with less racial discrimination. Umaru16 (talk) 06:57, 12 August 2024 (UTC)

Authoritarian, yes. Fascist, no. For fascism, the person should meet the criteria for one of the standard definitions (Fascism#Attempts at definition), which I don't think Lee did sufficiently. Bongolian (talk) 07:14, 12 August 2024 (UTC)
