jvs Posted June 15, 2020 Share Posted June 15, 2020 5 hours ago, Berkshire said: Agree. I feel badly for the OP, but this could hardly be classified as an anti-farang episode. Too often we jump to conclusions and some farangs in Thailand want to immediately label an unpleasant experience as anti-farang when that may not be the case at all. Honestly, if this woman harbors some sort of resentment towards handicap people, I would find that much more reprehensible. What you are saying here can probably be used in many cases of discrimination(real or perceived) Sometimes it is just something some one does that makes your bucket overflow. Or it is something you do that makes their bucket overflow. Imo it is not something to spoil your day. I believe we all have moments where we feel we are not being treated right but is it all discrimination? I know Colin did not mention discrimination but it is a word very widely and very quickly used these days. Some people behave badly and have absolutely no idea,i can almost feel sorry for those people. Yesterday in the parking lot the driverof a new car(red plate)was really being and xss and kept revving his engine. Just so other people could see he had a new car,was he discriminating?Or was he just trying to offend people?Who really cares? I walked past him when he got out and asked him in my best Thai if he had a new car?Yes,yes yes!! So i told him in English,too bad you did not have enough money to buy a nice one. He probably did not get it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What exactly was "anti-farang" [sic] about whatever you say she did? You'd have made as much sense if you had said that she was being "anti-white", or "anti-disabled", i.e. no sense. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clearly your reading skills leave a lot to be desired, read my posts again, this time take your time, read the BIG words slowly. Many things top/ bottom shelves, staff do for me, pork/ chicken etc, staff do for me. Now had you read my previous posts, you would have seen that, instead of trying to make me look stupid, back at you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
