Race, religion and royalty (3R) are relatively entrenched in Southeast Asia, often constituting the basis of legitimacy to governance. 3R legitimizes the dominance of particular groups in Southeast Asian countries and normalizes ethno-religious collective identities.

It has not helped cohesion for its socio-demographic cleavages, namely ethnic, linguistic, regional or religious.
