It is inevitable. I know stereotypes are FAR from accurate. I know many times stereotypes can started prejudice, but I can't help it, I hold some stereotypes. So, here are those stereotypes:
Indonesians:
- Most honest answer: Which Indonesian? The Javanese is starkly different compare to the Ambonese, the Bugis, etc. And vice versa. So seriously, which one do you like to know?
- Most politically correct-sugar coated answer: God-fearing pious nation that reject individualism, respect their families, and embrace social justice.
ADDENDUM (13.05.2013):
- Most cynical answer: Bipolar people. They can be SUPER FRIENDLY and always smiling, than become extremely violent on the next day.

Singaporeans:
Singaporeans:
