Boleh dikatakan apabila content creator dari negara barat datang melancong ke Malaysia atau berniaga di sini atau boleh bercakap dalam bahasa Melayu pasti mendapat perhatian dan sokongan segelintir rakyat Malaysia.
Terbaharu, pengguna Twitter @BigIdeasMy telah membangkitkan isu ‘double standard’ dengan berkongsi sebuah video perbandingan komen yang diberikan oleh netizen Malaysia di media sosial pelancong dari barat dan juga negara lain.

Malaysians are nice to foreigners only if they're white.
Don't believe me? Watch this video. A white dude came to Malaysia and received tons of welcoming replies on TikTok. Meanwhile a Nepalese dude left his country to find a job here and most Malaysians made fun of him 🙃 pic.twitter.com/fAFh07OH5T

Menerusi video terbabit, dapat dilihat perbezaan ketara apabila segelintir netizen Malaysia sangat ‘welcoming’ kedatangan pelancong dari barat berbanding pelancong dari Nepal yang dilihat banyak menerima komen berbau sindiran.
Isu ini telah meraih perhatian ramai orang dan rata-rata netizen berpendapat masih ada rakyat Malaysia yang bersikap ‘double standard’ terhadap pelancong serta warna kulit turut menjadi faktor layanan berbeza.

How funny watching people justify their racism in the comments…
Just accept the fact that part of us are racist, we are not perfect
But importantly we must constantly be aware that we live in this world with people from different cultures, religions, beliefs and backgrounds https://t.co/vLLM33Qs3C

So my work brings me all around the world. I’ve been to many white countries and they KNOW for a fact that Malaysians treat whites nicely and treat brown skins badly & acknowledged the fact that Malaysians treat people with respect only if the person is famous, rich -> https://t.co/T5HCS0hgDy— Ash di laut, Asham di darat (@leeeee_martin) October 5, 2022
Pathetic behaviour. Everyone is trying hard to earn money to feed their family.
I can guarantee most of the comments made by someone who never leaves Malaysia. You will understand the hardships living miles away from your family and your home. https://t.co/HCvfOoIOvx

Msian who give privilege only to white people is disgusting. I know they are travellers, but in terms of racism, why can’t us be fair to everyone? https://t.co/ztzZiM7N3u

Akan tetapi, ada juga netizen yang berpendapat bahawa tidak wajar sebenarnya terlalu taksub ‘welcoming’ pelancong dari negara barat sedangkan memberikan layanan yang berbeza kepada pelancong lain.
Malah, rata-rata netizen mengatakan bahawa inilah sebab Malaysia berada di ranking kedua negara yang ‘racist’ di dunia. Perkara ini tidak sepatutnya berlaku dan layanan yang sama patut diberikan kepada semua pelancong.
