::* The most egregious situation would be for “Singaporean people of Chinese descent” itself to be deleted and for “Singaporean people of Indian descent”, etc, to remain because this is exactly suggesting that those other people are “deviations from the norm” which, I have said, is a very bad message to send. — Cheers, [[User:Jacklee|<span style="color:#ce2029">Jack</span><b style="color:#800000">Lee</b>]] <sup>–[[User talk:Jacklee|talk]]–</sup> 11:39, 27 March 2021 (UTC) |

:::* It is not a message at all. It is characterising people by what defines them, which is what categories are about. [[User:Marcocapelle|Marcocapelle]] ([[User talk:Marcocapelle|talk]]) 13:54, 27 March 2021 (UTC) |

::::* Please explain why “Singaporean people of Malay descent” is defining but “Singaporean people of Chinese descent” is not, because the difference escapes me. I do not see how an ethnicity ceases to be defining simply because it happens at one point in history to be the majority ethnic group in a country. It is another thing entirely if the argument is that ethnicity as a whole is not defining because it is difficult to determine whether someone belongs to an ethnic group or not (a discussion for another occasion, perhaps), but in that case all ethnicity subcategories need to be deleted. Moreover, even if being of Chinese descent is “not defining” (which I dispute), what would the justification be for deleting, say, “Chinese people of Hakka descent”? The Hakkas as a group do not form a majority of people of Chinese descent. — Cheers, [[User:Jacklee|<span style="color:#ce2029">Jack</span><b style="color:#800000">Lee</b>]] <sup>–[[User talk:Jacklee|talk]]–</sup> 17:45, 27 March 2021 (UTC) |

Did I miss something, or was it the tail on the third letter? CaptJayRuffins (talk) 03:32, 22 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
