Yes, you are right.
But does it ever happen to you that a friend tells you a story of someone with nationality X and you think to yourself: Sure, that is typical for X. Maybe you even told that to the friend you told the story.
And comments like that are normal on Asian Now, many of us enjoy them and laugh about them.
The difference is that mostly we do this in the Pub in this forum and not in the news section.
But all in all, does it really matter if some people in this forum, including me, sometimes bash people from specific nations?
Is anybody really offended? Does anybody think something like: Good that I know it was an American, now I will stay away from people from nation? I don't think it has any effect whatsoever.
Maybe some of us laugh and some of us think "another bashing" and in a second we forget about it.
It matters. The racist and bigoted comments become normalized and acceptable to others. If some people must foster bigoted comments to make themselves feel superior and to bolster against their own sense of inferiority, they should keep it to themselves, lest everyone see they are in fact inferior

These types of racist and nation basing comments make reading the comments on this site useless and offensive.
Do these commenters ever consider
“Is my comment necessary”
“Is my comment helpful”
“Is my comment true”
It seems doubtful they consider anything at all before spewing their hateful and hurtful vitriol

But sadly, the extremist animal rescue groups here in Thailand place k9 life over humans and fight any attempt to euthanize dangerous vicious dogs. They really are a bit wracked.

I do nor see Desantis as anti-gay - I fully support a ban on gay pornographic books in schools.
It has never been about pornographic books. Nobody is suggesting pornography in the classroom.
it is the banning of books and ideas that gave the mention of gay, lesbian or bisexuality in all grades ( including high school) .
Desantis recently had to backpedal when the American psychiatric Association was disallowing the teaching of advanced placement psychology because the textbooks and classroom content could not discuss sexuality. To think people want to put pornography into classrooms is scaremongering and hyperbole to rile up the uneducated base- 3

Pheu Thai has tossed their voters and the citizens of Thailand under the bus and eschewed all moral consideration to satisfy one man's self-centered needs.
It is shameful.

5 hours ago, pomchop said:sort of like the coup crew then...no morals or ethics....but at least the taksins were elected and not installed by tanks....whether farangs like that or not is irrelevant as the thai people are the ones who vote for THEIR choices...sad that the generals seem to continually override those choices to install their flunkies and fatten their wallets.
They are teaming up (despite repeated promises not to work with the coup leaders) with coup crew to capture the needed votes for PM. They share the same lack of morals and ethics
The Thai’s aren’t getting THEIR choice and the generals are able to override that choice by teaming up with the Sinawatras.
the voters are sacrificed for the wants of Thaksin and the current “leaders”.
it is disgraceful- 2

For the last 8+ years the government hasn’t been able to get much of anything accomplished, but now… now that there is no actual government they pass an outrageous increase in foreign tourists fees? This they get done while there is no sitting government? What a farce

Outrageously pathetic!
No other outcome could be further from the intention of the voters. I do hope the electorate will not allow this to pass.

31 minutes ago, NemoH said:MF got the most votes but bear in mind their total votes is about 1/3 of the electorate. So yes they have majority votes but they also need to convince 2/3 of the population to love them .. it is strange we hear so many of the 1/3 but not the silent 2/3 who still did not vote for MF. Let the democratic process takes it course..
there is nothing democratic about a Junta appointed senate determining who the Primary Minister will be

3 hours ago, khunpa said:I paid of my wife’s sisters credit card loan of THB 90,000 and THB 30,000 she had borrowed from her employer, who basically treated her like a slave due to the money owed.
First thing I told her after helping her was not to borrow anymore money. Of course she did not listen at went out and borrowed again. So now she is back in the same situation.
Lesson learnt: Don’t help a Thai in debt. They just don’t get it.
That problem is not exclusive to Thailand.
A big part of the problem is a failure of the education system to provide any meaningful financial or ethics education.
maybe the lottery can fix everything- 3

This is the reason the “Constitutional Court” was created. To undertake the dirty work the Junta wants to be seen as legitimate.

I guess Thailand has given up on last year’s policy of “quality tourists” over quantity.
I know nothing last for ever, but public policy in Thailand seems to oscillate more than a fan- 1

I saw a video of a foreigner kicking a Thai doctor in her back and all hell broke loose with the Thai netizens. Wonder what their level of outrage is here?
