A netizen, @wali_talks, came out on Twitter and shared a story of how he was allegedly racially profiled by his Chinese girlfriend’s mother, and supported by his school principal.
He said that he was 15 at the time, and dating a girl from another school, whose parents were Christians.
They had to date in secret and although his own parents were supportive (they were an interracial couple), the girl’s parents were against the relationship.
The girl’s mother then found out about the relationship and Wali then received a call from the girl’s father, who shouted at him through the phone:
“LEAVE MY DAUGHTER ALONE, YOU UNDERSTAND?!”
Her mother then allegedly started texting him to ask about his race, faith and culture.
She allegedly told him: “You guys aren’t compatible, do your parents know that we’re Chinese Christian?”
The mother then allegedly harassed Wali relentlessly to the point where he had to lie that he had left Singapore with his family.
She even asked for evidence from him, wanting to see a picture of his passport.
The mother then allegedly took the girl to the police station to make a false report of sexual assault against him, which the girl refused.
She (the mother) then allegedly told her daughter’s school security guards to inform her if Wali stepped into the campus.
The mother also allegedly told Wali’s school principal and vice principal that he was harassing her daughter.
He shared that his principal was also a Christian, who allegedly forced her religious beliefs during a meeting at the school.
They allegedly disregarded the racist and sexual questions that the girl’s mother had asked the boy.
Wali shared that he went home that day and cried for hours, wishing he had a different colour skin and name.
