During the Second World War, Singapore was occupied by Japan in 1942, and returned to British control as a separate crown colony following Japan's surrender in 1945. In 1867, the colonies in Southeast Asia were reorganised and Singapore came under the direct control of Britain as part of the Straits Settlements. Modern Singapore was founded in 1819 by Sir Stamford Raffles as a trading post of the British Empire. Multiracialism is enshrined in the constitution and continues to shape national policies in education, housing, and politics. With a multicultural population and recognising the need to respect cultural identities, Singapore has four official languages English, Malay, Mandarin, and Tamil.
It has the second greatest population density in the world. The country's territory is composed of one main island, 63 satellite islands and islets, and one outlying islet, the combined area of which has increased by 25% since the country's independence as a result of extensive land reclamation projects. It lies about one degree of latitude (137 kilometres or 85 miles) north of the equator, off the southern tip of the Malay Peninsula, bordering the Straits of Malacca to the west, the Riau Islands ( Indonesia) to the south, and the South China Sea to the east.

Societies developed myths and prejudices in order to pursue their own interests at the expense of other groups. According to Rogers, color prejudice was then used a rationale for domination, subjugation and warfare.
He believed that color prejudice generally evolved from issues of domination and power between two physiologically different groups. Rogers was a humanist who believed that there were no scientifically evident racial divisions-all humans belong to one race.
In Nature Knows No Color-Line, originally published in 1952, historian Joel Augustus Rogers examined the origins of racial hierarchy and the color problem.
