Hey, I am scared to get a tattoo so want to increase my self-esteem by criticizing others who have. It makes me feel superior.
-
Some people here would be offended by saying that.
-
Thais can call a spade a spade,
-
I probably know more than most here. 'Woke' is most definitely a Western concept. What have ladyboys got to do with racism?
-
No one here has bought a Thai wife, except maybe Buriram Noi's fella ????
-
What about 'look kreung'? This is the Thai word for 'half-caste' and still used.
-
Maybe where you come from, but not here. What do you think of acculturation, do you think when moving to Thailand that we should accept your beliefs and insecurities? I could tell you a few stories! Like the Chinese woman shouting out in the bank to my clerk that farang can't become Thai citizens and my ID card must be fake, the golf club telling me that my citizenship was not the same as a brown Thai, etc.

I suppose we can't call someone a black sheep of the family, I wonder what the alternative is.

How True is "the smiles are fake"?
Neeranam replied to Brian Nose's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
there are 13 different Thai smiles, they mean different things. Took me many years to learn to spot them -
Hmm, is calling them 'half-caste' racist?
-
Isn't that racist calling my kids mixed race? Why would she call them Golliwogs, they are not black and as I was saying, the terminology used in the 70s is not the same as today.
-
I dislike your woke nonsense. This not abuse, it's a comedy show.
-
I hope you are joking?
-
All racial terms become derogatory over time. But at the time, it was OK for my gran to say 'golliwog' or 'negro', Thai people to say 'jek' for Chinese people. Both are now not OK, and the words for Indians, 'Kaek' has become derogatory, as has 'farang'. I am a 'sweaty sock'. I take no offense to 'fat <deleted>' in Austin Powers or Ewan Mcteagle
-
Who?
-
The word 'golliwog', 'nig nog' etc was used on prime time TV in the 70s, so it must have been deemed acceptable. .
-
Not the same at all. If they had a show of Thais dressed as punks or hippies(for example), or some other type of music predominantly done by 'farangs', I wouldn't mind. There was a Thai soap where the lead girl blackened her face, it was very popular.
-
I can think of one large country where they wouldn't let black people vote(in my lifetime!). Of course things like that, and slavery, has led to extreme racism.
-
Wokies think that other races can't be racist against white people, pathetic really.
-
There are many reasons, Will Carling and Cilla Black among them.
-
No, I'm talking about the Highland Clearances of 1750-1860, where 1000 died and many more suffered.
-
And she watched the Black and White minstrels, a harmless TV show that was banned by wokes.
-
They're are Orangmen in Scotland.
