Covid-19: Netizen’s racist rants after Chinese couple put in quarantine in Bangkok condo

 

Picture: Facebook

 

An enraged netizen ranted on Facebook after a Chinese couple in a Bangkok condo were quarantined with the coronavirus.

 

The post read:

 

"This is the latest from my condo kha. I want to cry".

 

The post was a letter from the manager of the Morning Dew Condominium in Soi Phum Chit, Phrakhanong, Klong Toei, Bangkok.

 

It stated: "Two Chinese from Kunming (are) under quarantine on the 2nd floor. They will not come out for 14 days".

 

One of the people also staying at the condo posted their anger at the situation but in doing so used much racist and offensive language directed against Chinese people.

 

The news comes afer a number of racially motivated and xenophobic incidents have been reported in Thailand following the outbreak of the coronavirus. 

 

Last month, a restaurant owner in Chiang Mai was ordered to remove a sign which said Chinese nationals were barred from eating there.

 

After being visited by the Tourist Police, the restaurant owner told CM108 they changed the sign to read “No food” in Chinese.

 

Also last month, Thaivisa was made aware of hotels in Bangkok and Hua Hin which had erected signs saying “no Chinese”. The signs were later removed after orders from local officials.

Ahh nothing like a crisis to bring out the racists goons, any opportunity to show their intellect and I am not just talking the Thais.

At the end of the day the present government is simply afraid to tell China no, but with other countries like Italy there is no problem in stopping the flow.  Eventually, Thailand will be simply known as Chailand. I hope that I'm wrong and it won't probably happen in my lifetime, but it will happen...

you wont have a lot crying over a ban on rollmops ???? 

[White Christmas13]

Nothing wrong with Rollmops, by the way Sauerkraut is originated in China and not Germany,

also French fries come from Belgium and Hamburgers don't come from Hamburg.????

This is bang on. Far less common to a Chinese girl marry a Westerner than it is for Thais. 

 

They believe in their racial purity and racial superiority. It has been drummed into them from centuries and centuries of propaganda.

This. China is far more racist than Thailand will ever be despite all the rhetoric we read here about Thailand being the most racist country on Earth.

 

I remember an elderly Chinese couple looking disapprovingly at me holding the hand of my ethnic Chinese-Thai girlfriend (now wife) walking down an escalator in Kunming. They also made a derogatory comment as they passed us. Earlier, I had a short-term fling with a Chinese girl. Walking down the street in Yuxi, south of Kunming, a teenager called her a whore. Walking alongside us was her friend and another Sri Lankan friend.

 

In Thailand, nothing like that has ever happened, not even close. There are so many Thais in relationships with foreigners it's something people see everyday.

 

And I know, because I'm fluent in Thai and reasonably good at Chinese.

This is also not true, and make a generalization of one or two incidents that happened to you with 1,4 billion people is not correct. I m fluent in chinese and I didn t see more racist in China than other countries. No one never treated me or my wife that way ever. People are just curious because there are not many foreigners in China small cities.

maybe a  good  kicking is in order like the Thai guy in the UK?

When did the Chinese in the story arrive in Thailand? What region did they come from?

there is nothing racist here. it is common sense.

this is what the thai government had to do long time ago - to 

block all flights from china. not because they are "chinese" but simply because...

they might be infected !!

[cardinalblue]

Racism is far far greater in homogeneous countries....

Hhmmmm.

so this story is “Facebook news” 

with no link.

Not real Facebook news, only a Facebook post.

 

And ONE person posted a “much racist” word about Chinese people. But they not say which word in this story. No link. 

ONE person on Facebook. Not the OP, but one person say it.

 

The headline? 

And this important story is on TVF. Some people say TVF racist against Thai, Indian, Chinese etc. 

 

And now member talk about Thai is most racist people the world (why he live here?, must be terrible)

 

i suspicious this story encourage racism against thai and Chinese. 

But ONE person Facebook post is “Bangkok News” section.

 

hmmmmm

really?

Ethnic Tai actually came from China. Read their origin below.

Why do you think Thai are racist? Mind giving some racist incidents that you personally encountered?

[metisdead]

A post using an ethnic slur comment toward Chinese people has been removed.

Thailand is not a homogeneous country. There are many ethnicities in Thailand.

Reasonably good at all 197 different dialects or still at the 'ni hao ma?' sort of level? By the way Yuxi, famous for it's barbequed duck and it's branded cigarettes mainly uses Vietnamese.

Ditto. 13 years and I must know 100 cross cultural couples. I've seen one incident in all that time, a drunk in a bar.
