Source 6: An account by a Eurasian man, describing Europeans living in Singapore before World War Two.

The upper class Europeans were very snobbish. They would not lower themselves to mix with the Eurasians unless they had to do business with them. The Eurasians were not treated very well by the Europeans. The Europeans might even sneer at them or just ignore them. There were also places that were just for the Europeans, such as the Singapore Cricket Club. There was a lot of snobbery on their part. However, when I was in school there was no racial barrier. We were all treated the same, and we treat each other the same, regardless of your nationality or race.
