"Three women were brought to the Singapore General Hospital,
each in the same
condition and needing a blood transfusion. The first, a
Southeast Asian was given the
transfusion but died a few hours later. The second, a South
Asian was also given a
transfusion but died a few days later. The
third, an East Asian, was given a
transfusion and survived. That is the X factor in
development."

Lee Kuan
Yew: Race, Culture and Genes.
http://seelanpalay.blogspot.sg/2010/02/lee-kuan-yew-on-race-culture-genes.html
This article has described in detail the character of Lee Kuan
Yew's racial views
substantially using his own words as evidence.
After a lifetime of being circumspect on the question of
race, Lee has finally spoken openly, revealing himself
as doctrinaire racist.
Yet it would be a mistake to condemn Lee as a hard line racist
in every sense of the word.
Such a characterisation of his views would be a distortion
of both his logic and his natural disposition. There can be no
doubt that Lee is a racist in the sense that he believes that
some races and some ethnically-based cultures are inherently
superior to others.
His own words leave no doubt about this assertion, though
it should be recognised that this in itself hardly makes him
remarkable in Asia.
He is also a racist in the sense that he has integrated his
racial views into his political
agenda and he has created a regime which accentuates racial
categorisation.
This assertion, too, is beyond dispute, yet it should be
acknowledged that affirmative
action programmes in the United States and Australia are based
upon racial
classifications and are widely accepted as part of modem liberal
orthodoxy....
