sweatalot Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 Nothing wrong with targeting a special race if they have a record of crime that is remarkably higher than that of another race - at least in the location of the raid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PremiumLane Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 (edited) Ah the good old racists of TVF.

Pdaz Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 Africans although one of the smallest torist minorities visiting Thailand are the largest foreign contingent in Thai jails. Must just be racism, nothing to do with them being found guilty? Seems to be a huge Worldwide conspiracy.. The whole World's jails are full of black people... Coincidence ?

I am not saying all colored people - but what kind of Africans go to Thailand? And they are easy to discern because of their look.

You must have Trump 2020 and a big Confederate flag up on your house. If you don't think there's anything wrong with scooping up a large number of people based on their skin colour then you've been watching Fox News for too long. Generalising and persecuting people based on their race and ethnicity has historic connotations with ethnic cleansing, genocide, mass murder, apartheid and just about every other blood stain on the human conscious.

To right, back in the day we had police offers stopping old white ladies when looking for suicide bombers to keep the number correct for the "I'm offended on behalf of" groups. Middle aged white men stopped by police looking for black kids carrying knives just to correct the number for the "I'm offended on behalf of". Why target a target group when you can waste your time going after people who cause no problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Without bringing race into it, perhaps you can explain to me and others just why people from certain areas frighten people more than those from other areas and why the crime and arrest rate is higher among those particular groups. In my opinion it is not because of their race but because of their attitude and behaviour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing to do with race. My ex wife and my children are black but they behave in a civilized manner and are subsequently treated with civility wherever they go. The groups in question here are anything but civilized. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only difference here is europe and USA are smart enough to hide it. Here Thailand is stupid enough to show it. That's the difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BangkokNicky Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 They could also do with raiding Soi Phetchaburi 19 and all around baiyoke sky hotel area as it's like little afica these days with them and it seems to be where they hang around in the day and where most of the restaurants where they come from are based ..

Searat7 Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 Just go after the overstays...chances are good that many of them (particularly the younger ones) are involved in some criminal activities. I am sure the government has stats on overstays by country. I read there are 1,000 Nigerians in jail here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pumpjack Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 crackdowns should have been happening years ago, my guess is a very very minute number of black people in thailand are here legally or even as tourists . yet the hard working law abiding farang married to thais are being shafted every which way with visa regs & rules etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In this context, there is a concentration of people from the African sub-continent located in a relatively small geographic area who when checked show a high proportion of illegal entries, visa overstays, or are engaged in illegal activities. The headlines don't help. What they should be doing is systematically checking for those who entered illegally, who remain here illegally or are engaged in illegal activities of any kind. And they should be doing that based on all intelligence they have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, bit of an oxymoron if taken in general I suppose! But some are very very intelligent - I know some. What I really meant though, was that if the intelligence suggest that a high number of African origin people located in that area are breaking the law - then use it. Just treat any that are here legally and abiding by the law fairly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jesimps Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 Good to see the Thais not joining the west in succumbing to PC madness. If a large amount of crime is being committed by a small racial group, then go for that group. Common sense I call it, not racism. See the two or three lefties on here are throwing around the usual words - racists, bigots, fascists etc. Not any of these, just comments supporting good old-fashioned common sense.

All true, agree with you 100%. But they are bad news and need booting out. It is very easy to distinguish between this bunch of scumbags and genuine law-abiding people of colour. Nanny-state-whitey-round-eye countries only look on in envy wishing they could do the same without pissing off the bleeding heart liberals.
