are we still pendatang although me and my dad all born/bred in malaysia?

you go handle the real pendatang la..bangla and nepal..sooner or later they will start marryin your malay girls.

This is the exact mentality that causes Malays to call us pendatang. You know what's the irony? You and the rest of Non-Bumi (not all) in peninsular are doing the same. If you can't stop calling Bangla & Nepali as pendatang, then you have no rights to demand that we should not be called pendatang.

I think I know where you are coming from. 

But the terms he used is right. 

PS
We all know why the term pendatang is being used on other Malaysians, despite it being the wrong term to use.  And there would be those who would continue using it, regardless.

That's what I'm getting at, few decades down the road, a baby might be born to Nepali Parents who are now citizen of Malaysia, then what? We are still gonna call them pendatang right? What's the difference then? We are doing the same exact thing while we are asking the Malays not to do the same to us. It's a never ending vicious cycle.

Racism can never be eradicated in Malaysia is we have these kind of mentality, why? Let me give you an example:

1. An Indian conquered mount Everest. Malaysians are proud, but you have some that says "why an Indian & not a Malay, if only there were more Malays then the indian wouldn't have gotten the name"

2. A Malay went to the ISS. Malaysians are proud, but you have some that says "meh, he when up there because of his skin, it should have been an Indian or a Chinese!"

3. A Chinese does great in studies, Malaysians are proud, but you have some that says "how come the Malay & Indian community cannot get good results, why always Chinese?"

My motto is simple, you treat others as how you would want to be treated. Unless we embraces this, your better Malaysia is just a dream.
