At the rate the top 2 cheese are ordering things, by election time it might just be every 60.

To be honest, if he clamps down too hard, it would not matter if all the foreigners still left living here reported daily to immgration, they would still be twiddling their fingers

Racial profiled?

What's wrong with racial profiling? It seems to be an entirely logical approach to the enforcement of immigration laws, in a largely south east asian society.  Also what has democratic administration of the police got to do with anything? Thailand is not a Democracy, and unfortunately for the Thai, it never will be.

so nana area? were hundreds of old white guys rounded up to have their passports checked or just those fitting the 'profile' in the picture?

At Nana there are a lot more Japs then old white Farangs, so I reckon your post is just buffalo excrement...

I just can't imagine what IDC looks like nowadays.

15 years ago was 50/70 to a cell. I did see see 1 cell with only 2 expat females in at the time.

It’s a bit grim, I’ve a lot of friends waiting it out for ฿200 a day. No ideal. EBC on soi 10 does volunteer visits on Saturday morning if you’d like to come sometime. 

 

And to all the people who are giddy about this occurring. Your true nature is that youre pleased that you live somewhere we’re you can openly and without care hate and abuse someone based on their race. You pass it off with a wink-wink in here under the pretense of “I dislike all criminals “ but that’s just moral cowardice, because even in TV where racism is permitted and almost encouraged, you know it’s wrong. 

I’m friends with many of the African diaspora in Chanthaburi as well as the grey area criminals in the farang ghettos of lower Sukhumvit. You would be surprised that what you think and what you know are quite different. 

 

There my rant is complete. Sorry if anyone is bothered by this. I just thought that what if my kids saw me seeing acts of outright, plain and simple racism and remained silent.? What kind of man would the think I am? They’d have two choices, either a racist or a coward. 

I’m neither so I’m spouting off and am challenging anybody who thinks being a racist is acceptable to check yourself. Nobody wants to hear, read, or watch your horrible ideals. Ok?

Its not about race though .

Some people support African criminals , because they are so non racist , that they believe anyone who disapproves of African criminals  , only disapproves of them because they are African .

   Yes, there are some racists on TV, but generally, posters just dislike criminals , overstayers , drug dealers  etc, regardless of their ethnicity .

I am staying long on tourist visas and that's not what concerns me, they can bl#w me as far as I am concerned since I am not on overstay.

I agree and it’s obvious by the tone or style of their comments who is who. 

I’m an apologists and i realize my biases and try not let it cloud my judgements, but in this confusing world where good and bad are so interwoven, being a racist is something that nobody will ever be able to label me. It’s my personal belief that if one is or isn’t, they should have no doubt and hide their evil intentions. Thanks for your reply and hope you’ve a great weekend.

Parts of Chinatown are 25-50% Indian, primarily Sikh.

 

Yeah, Chinese definitely missing from that mob but still well done - taking out the trash.

 

Shocked at so many illegal entries, all Africans. This people are no damn good. You don't skirt immigration with good intentions in mind. I've seen this lot years ago up in Vientiane hanging out, up to no good. Waiting...'selling cloth'

 

Racial profiling blah blah looks like targeting black folks hanging out on lower Sukhumvhit was a gold mine. Send em over to Ramkhamheng and police the ARL.

Funny how we've heard nothing lately, AFAIK, about what all these raids have meant in terms of impact on the IDC, and the extent to which all these people they're rounding up either are or are not actually getting put on airplanes for deportation to their home countries.

 

They get popped in Immigration raid arrests, and that seems to be the last that's ever heard about that.  Kind of makes you wonder, if all of them really do end up getting kicked out of the country, or just perhaps, manage to make some payment and then quietly disappear back to their prior lives.

 

It’s a sad combination of all three. I visit most Saturday and if a person gets nicked and taken to lumphini they can work it off or pay it off but once in IDC they give them there phones in the daytime and turn them loose to beg and pleade anyone and everyone to send them money. Some who see the scam for what is and have no one to help will just sit and wait. IDC is nicer than back home and they don’t have to sell themselves. But to end the story, the answer is everyone in IDC eventually is deported.

A racist is a person who treats a person differently due to their race .

Some people think that its racist to disagree with a Black person .

Treating a Black overstaying drug dealer differently to a White overstaying drug dealer , would be racist , because your opinion of a person depends on their skin colour

Which is exactly what I am pointing out and you know this. This group is being targeted specifically because of their race. They made a bad decision to come here and now stuck in hotel California it just gets continually worse and worse and their is not a happy ending for them. They’re criminals and they’ll be the first to tell you how regretful they are for coming here. I’m not defending them of their criminality, I’m defending them because no one else will. 

The thais who invited this behavior here to make money have found another source and 1000’s of people are left. Being without rights or protection make them easy marks for the coorupt police. If you want to have your stomach turned go to lumphini police station tonight around 4 am. It sickens me. 

Thats why I’m an apologist and defend them

no, you dont say, all these chinese origin people owning businesses and land, but i am pretty god damn sure there are indians who have thai passports as well who own land and businesses. But yeah like every chinese origin person will be legal, i think not especially in a densed population of chinatown. And still not 1 chinese origin person arrested not even for 'petty crimes' 

The Chinatown you are refering to has been there for over a 100 years the chinese traders who immigrated there did so in the late 1800s and early 1900s these people have become Thai Citizens. They should not be confused with the new arrivals who prefer Huey Khwan area and they also rent houses away from central BKK

Soon you will want the police to arrest the chinese located in their village outside of Mae Hong Song. These Chinese escaped from Communist China after 1949 and helped the Thai Government fight the communist uprising in Thailand and were given citizenship for their help. They also were required to learn the Thai language.

Can you explain what you mean about "Lumpini" and working it off or paying it off?

 

IDC isn't there, but elsewhere at Soi Suan Plu, right?  I'm confused...

Although they may been targeted because of their race , they are not being prosecuted because of their race .

  The RTP suspect they are doing illegal things and thus they are being investigated , its not as if innocent Africans are getting arrested for being Africans .

   They are being arrested and prosecuted for crimes that they have committed .

Are you suggesting that African criminals shouldnt be arrested and they should be allowed to commit crime freely ?

Its true .

Take a post in this thread as an example .

It was suggested that the reason people have animosity against African overstaying drug dealing criminals is because they are African .

   They do not accept that the reason for the animosity is because of their actions , rather than their race .

  If you "disagree" with an Africans persons behavior , they view that as being racist

That is not what you said. 

 

You said “some people think it’s racist to disagree with a black person”. 

 

That is what has had me rolling around laughing. 

 

What you describe in your post here is racial profiling. 

[the guest]

Only western ppl make a big deal out of racism. The east and most parts of the world consider it as normal behavior to protect the culture, language and race of a country, many countries (which are the majority) are not multi-cultural. If you don't like racism, perhaps Thailand isn't the place for you.

There are indeed some people who think that if you disagree with a black person about something , you are only disagreeing with them because they are Black 

  Like the guys that kneel for the US National anthem , if you disagree with them doing so, theres only one reason as to why you disagree with them.........."because youre a racist"
