They always misrepresent and leave out details. What percentage of Americans saw the full 30 minute George Floyd video before forming an opinion? 1% maybe? I saw that video the next day after and it was not at all like what they presented it as. He said "I can't breathe" well before he got the knee on his neck and you can even see where he appeared to swallow something well being detained. They were trying to manage him for like 20 minutes before taking him down and it looked pretty obviously like he overdosed, probably trying to conceal the drugs he was carrying. No way Americans would have such a strong reaction if they saw the video evidence first but the MSM made a point of only showing the very end. All race baiting for views and politics. Enemy of the people comes to mind.

so nearly two random citizens are killed every day by police? We should be hearing these stories back to back daily then. I don't know where that number came from but it's probably nonsense.

For all you know this guy murdered a bunch of kids and then stabbed another inmate and then finally spit in their face so they had enough. You could literally be defending the worst scum on the planet right now because the media is misleading you. Not saying that is happening but it could be and that''s why the American media is garbage.

This is typical American garbage reporting. Present a story with no details, must be white on black violence (preferably a police officer involved) and then throw it to the public as red meat. For all we know this prisoner just killed someone in jail but we're supposed to have sympathy for him? Sorry I don't care until they provide more details, maybe he deserved it, maybe the cops are murderers but it's too early to know.

Ok so I heard a Thai news anchor say this and now this article. Are we seriously calling all non-white people in Thailand people of color now? No more nationalities, just white and "people of color". Of course Thai are people of color too so now they're going to get dumped into the same bag with all the black and brown people.

there may be a better way but lets not overthink it.

It's so simple. Just eat 30% less than you ate before and weight goes down. No need to get fancy and complicate things.

oh great where am I going to get my 51 year old Rwandan prostitute fix now?

ok so this is what we're dealing with. Thai drivers are the same as any others, it's just those pesky roads and farangs that's don't understand how we do things 'round here.. Next you'll be telling us the earth flat...

I don't see how can you can say this given who we're talking about. The driving here is so uncivilized and nonsensical it supersedes everything else. We're talking about people that have problems controlling their emotions and seem to not have any regard for other people using the roads (basically children). Even if you make them the most straight perfect road they will still find ways to crash and kill each other. This is obvious isn't it?

Find me a bend or any road for that matter where Thai people do not drive over the line. Just last week I saw a wreck with a big bike and a pickup truck where they collided going opposite directions. Why did this happen? Because there was land slide around a bend and instead of slowing down and proceeding with caution they both went full speed in the middle of the road. Moreover, Just yesterday I go left around a sharp bend on my bike and there's a pickup truck who was halfway in the right lane making his turn, simply because it was more of a direct line for him then staying in the left lane. I swerved and avoided him but still wtf.... You can't fix these people and you can not make me care when they crash and kill themselves. If you're too stupid to understand why you should drive on the correct side of road then how are you a life worth saving?

I have a cursed bend around where I live too. It's a normal bend like any other but people drive on the wrong side of the road around the bend and then collide. I hope the curse can be lifted one day.

Sad to see young men dying for nothing. Many such stories. RIP.

It's embarrassing now, they keep passing laws even though they literally have no enforcement mechanism. It's like the dog who got his balls cut off but still goes around humping everything. Basically the Thai government has no balls but they're too brain dead to even know. Very embarrassing for them. They need to stop everything and figure this out first.

You're probably under stimulated living isolated with Thai people who are famously simple minded and care free. Exercise is extremely important for me but you probably need to exercise your brain too. I'd find a new hobby which challenges the mind and spend most of your day doing that.

Racial resentments may linger but the more important part is they don't WANT to be mixed out and lose their culture and heritage. Why should they? He says it best. "I don't hate nobody, but I love my own."

The British should start notice of the black population in the US who have been there for 400 years and yet remain radically different from white Americans and maintained their now distinct culture and dialect. Any white American will have more in common with the English, Canadian, Aussie and the list goes on then a black American. Point being, what passport you have makes little difference.

you need to consider the Thai's deep love an admiration for paperwork though. It's a holy script for them.

Firs off she said "person of color" at the very start (คนผิวสี). not talking about the text or anything. We stopped saying "colored person" decades ago (wikipedia say it may be considered a slur) but now "person of color" is acceptable according to our masters so which is it? Is she using the American racial slur from the 60s "colored person" or the modern American term "person of color" to describe a non-white person? just admit it she's copying political correct nonsense from America. Probably watches American news and picked up the term. So what?

no more excuses, make it happen.

pictures or it didn't happen.

politicize? just noticing. I find this very hard to believe though. I know Thai's adopt and adapt American slang and person of color only makes senes if you comparing them against people with white skin, i.e. no color. I've only ever heard Thai people say "black skin color" or black person, but never person of color which AKAIK is solely an American term to describe non-whites or what they used to call minorities (probably gearing up for the a non-white majority so the term minority is no longer relevant, there's a politicized something).

I got the J&J even though I knew I was dangerous because I finally gave in after being locked out of Thailand for 12 months. All my family got it and 12 months had passed and there weren't mass deaths so I thought it was worth the risk. Well I had a bad reaction and following that what I think is fluid in the ears and dizziness. Easily the worst decision of my life (so far LOL). If I would have just waited another 1 month I could have gotten back in without the vaccine but I was over the 12 month mark and winter was settling in so I bailed. Huge regrets and it doesn't appear to be going away. I've never been the same after that.

Ditto got scammed by our first taxi, first time in the country that tried to change the price mid trip (we had him drop us off at the side of the street and we got a Grab). Thanks for the tip, maybe I need to give Vietnam a second chance. I would be happy in Thailand but for example just a little while ago the neighbor burned all the leaves in this empty forest plot and it stinks like smoldering ashes and probably will all night. Then they keep burning until the whole region is engulfed in smoke and everything is ruined for us. Maybe I'll try Da Nang when it gets bad enough.

LOL she called him a "person of color" in Thai. Are you telling me Thai news is watching American news and then translating back to Thai their language? Calling an African a "person of color" makes no sense in the context of Thailand unless maybe they think of themselves as white? No idea what she was thinking.
