Gullible Malays

I'm not letting this one go, and the more RPK tries to dismiss this, the deeper my response will be.

bq. Are the Malays more gullible?

bq. In a joke article posted on APA, four out of more than 100 members responded taking the article at face value - three Malays and one Chinese. With the 75% Malay responses, this proves the theory that Malays are more gullible and fall for bomohs, black magic, get-rich-quick schemes, and phoney military organisations that can award instant ranks up to the level of four-star generals. - msg 7017, RPK

Also, read this for the reaction of one Malaysian blogger i respect greatly, Lone.

I'm not sure whether RPK latest tirade is a "spoof" or not, or whether he's writing it in response to the comments and replies he's received on his infamous "msg 7002". But lets assume, on the first count, that it's not a "spoof" and, on the second count, he did write it as a response to the replies he's received.

RPK, a polite reminder: if it walks like a duck, talks like duck and acts like a duck, people are going to call it a duck even if you meant it to be a goose. Also, if you've laid an egg, i think you now realize how hard it is to shove it back from where it came.
