Description

"Of course this distinction can be overdrawn. Some Semai are defensive and intolerant. Many Malays, like the herbalist from Grik, are flexible and intellectually curious. But a history of exploitation sets exploiters up to be ignorant. The notion that disreputable people have disreputable ideas scarcely worth hearing out seems to grow inevitably out of hierarchical social arrangements."
