Mansor Puteh's shallow research on Chinese

I would be most surprised if anyone reading Mansor's latest in Malaysia Today, is impressed by his so-called research on the Chinese. Please give me a break. If you are a scholar in Chinese Studies, with years of research into Chinese history, maybe I might be impressed with your credentials, and that also, not necessarily your viewpoint.

Anyway, I am sticking my neck out by just questioning his first point - ‘MALAYSIAN CHINESE ARE STUPID! – MICHAEL CHICK.

I hope somebody can confirm this: Chick can be a Chinese surname because I know of a car repairer in Segambut, Chick Yan Poh, as well as a LHDN officer with that surname. Just imagine if I am right and that Michael Chick is actually a Malaysian Chinese and Mansor thought that he is English! It would really make my day!.

I have to say here that I do not read people's comments since they are too scared to reveal what their level of intelligence and standing in society is. If they do not have an identity, they do not have any views worthy of anyone considering. Worse, one cannot use these comments in one’s research on the subject.
Yes, I am brave enough to sign my name on this article.

‘MALAYSIAN CHINESE ARE STUPID! – MICHAEL CHICK:
It is unlike Michael Chick, who has an English name, who has written another article with a weirder title - ‘MALAYSIAN CHINESE ARE STUPID!’ which was published in Malaysia-Today. Yet, he was not condemned.
Shockingly, there were many Chinese commentators who agreed with him. The reason being the writer is English. If he was Malay, he would have been condemned.
Many Chinese and other non-Malays have tried unsuccessfully to define what and who the Malays are but all of them fail because their thinking was clouded by their own prejudices and biases.
So Michael is lucky because he is English and his views are considered by the commentators to be superior.

The rest of his article in Malaysia Today:
