Racism against Ethnic Indians in Malaysia's

Recently there has been a incident in Malaysia with Indians killing a native Malaysian man. The man was apparently killed at a Hindu temple. Bail has been denied for the thirty suspects in the killing. The judge who decided bail said that the choice of whether or not to allow bail was not because of race.

I did not know that there was racism between ethnic Indians and native Malaysians, but it makes sense after I thought about it. Most native Malaysians are similar in race, and Indians being discriminated is probably because they are foreigners. Over 3, 000 people protested the denying of bail for the suspects, which shows how racism runs deep in this society. With racial so much racial conflict in the Malaysian society, I want to see how this legal case will turn out.
