    I asked a (younger than Thai GF) Philippine friend if she had heard of the above historic events.  She said it was taught in School and most Phillipine people would have known about it.

     

    I guess its quite important to me to be able to discuss things and get an opinion back when visiting historical places, like a regular western GF would.  Have an interest in the place you are visiting - rather than just post up photographs with no knowledge or interest behind them.

    Philippines does have better education than Thailand.

    This is what I said though, bolded for reading comprehension:

     

     

    "Until I see them cast a white person to play a black historical figure,I'll call it pandering."

     

     

    According to your link, you are trying to compare Al Pacino playing Tony Montana (a fictional Cuban character) to a black person playing a white historical figure, like a queen/ruler of a country, such as Cleopatra.

     

     

    Nice try though ????
