KUALA LUMPUR, Sept 9 — The Malay Mail Online video titled “Are Malaysians racist?” has continued striking a chord with viewers, becoming the second-most watched video on YouTube less than a day after it debuted.

At 9am today, the video has been cumulatively viewed over 200,000 times on the popular video sharing site and Malay Mail Online's internal video player.

The video and the accompanying interview has also been shared over 60,000 times on Facebook.

The video that features Malaysians of various ethnic groups being told to repeat derogatory statements like the “Malays are stupid”, “the Chinese are “pendatang” (immigrants) and the “Indians are smelly”, went viral the moment it was uploaded at noon yesterday.

It has since won plaudits from a variety of newsmakers and luminaries for its anti-racism message.
