My experience with education has been very coloured by the way I've been brought up. I've been brought up in Malaysia, and in Malaysia our access to tertiary education in particular is often limited by the colour of our skin. So for example, in state universities, which are often the cheapest option, our access is limited to the position of quotas which allow the majority races to benefit while the minority races like me are sidelined.
So I believe that this sort of upbringing has coloured my perception of democracy because I've been taught since young that I am less because I was not born a Malay or not born a Muslim, and I don't like this idea.
