equity ownership?

all this talk about equity ownership. it's always about the malay, chinese and indian. what about "The Others"? you see, even though i'm a bumiputera*, i belong to a category remote from The Holy Trinity. we are called The Others. yeah, i'm one of The Others. fear me.

* one thing i've learned about the word bumiputera in my six years' experience staying in KL and PJ is that over here, the general perception (especially among the chinese, and i'm sure among malay themselves) is that bumiputera refers to the malay. in fact bumiputera == malay. back in kuching it was different though: all the bumiputeras (malay, iban, bidayuh, kayan, kenyah, and all the ethnic groups) are thus so, bumiputera. so, over here, when i told people that i'm a bumiputera, i quickly added "i'm not a malay bumiputera" once i they raised their eyebrows.
