Pinkerton Syndrome

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Pinkerton Syndrome is a derogatory Singaporean term describing the tendency of some local Asians who tend to consider Caucasians superior, usually having a bias towards favouring Caucasians over locals.

The term traces its origins from the character of Lieutenant B. F. Pinkerton in Puccini's opera Madama Butterfly.
