"we are investigating complaints about racist abuse" noun noun: racist; plural noun: racists a person who is prejudiced against or antagonistic towards people on the basis of their membership of a particular racial or ethnic group, typically one that is a minority or marginalized. It is nationalism. If they were Thai citizens of an ethnic background, it would be racism. People from Lao and Burma are the same race. Would Americans doing this to Brits be racist?

If I discriminate against him in any way based on the colour of his skin, its racism - even though we are both British. Not about to get into an argument about Thai ethnicity with you but you might want to consider your first paragraph. Not all Thais and Laos are the same race.

It has everything to do with being treated the proper way and not oppressed. Guess you wouldn't mind being barbed wired into your house or condo with no where to go and be isolated like an animal in the zoo. Get over yourself. It also speaks volumes for how this government sees themselves and that is superior to all others regardless if you are from a European country, the US or another Asian country that is less wealthy. Many people around the world are confined to their houses, its nothing about "oppression" for gods sake Nothing to do with "woke" views eh??? The Thais being referred to as "disgusting animals" because their actions don't conform to lefty ideals is condidered ok . Thats pretty indicative of" wokeness" if you ask me 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nomadinuk Posted December 31, 2020 Share Posted December 31, 2020 (edited) Is it a stretch to say if some try to make a break for it guard towers and armed guards will be brought in? How much of a stretch for this kind of thing to happen to condo buildings around pattaya to keep the farangs in moving into 2021. In my opinion 2020 was just the opening act of this thing.

Thats pretty indicative of" wokeness" if you ask me If they were only confined to their homes that would be one thing but they are surrounded by guards and barbed wire. Let's be clear on that subject. No lefty ideals here but treating people with dignity is something not being done. I never said the Thais were disgusting animals but rather that the actions are racist and oppressive. Are the folks barbed wired into their homes in Australia or Europe, I think not. Let's be open and honest here. We may disagree but I sure hope you can see the difference between your statements Edited December 31, 2020 by ThailandRyan 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All the 'Thailand is Wonderful', 'Thailand is great', 'Love Thailand', BS has a lot to answer for. There is nothing wrong with being proud of your country and heritage.

However, quite often Nationalism leads to Racism. I've often heard about Racism in Thailand but never experienced it nor seen it - until this year that is.

Patong2021 Posted December 31, 2020 Share Posted December 31, 2020 The containment is for a short time and is to allow Thai health people to better manage the event. First the Thais need to verify who is in the condo and their health status. There looks like an assumption that there are are both illegal migrants and potential infected people. Yes, it looks bad but we all know that in Thailand when people are in trouble, they run. When they do that, they can infect others. Please get used to this because it is not specific to Thailand. This is how countries with limited resources manage infectious crisis. Look at Africa and how ebola is managed. Military lockdowns are what they do and they will shoot people. I don't agree with barbed wire, but I ask what alternative do Thais have to keep the migrants in location? And to all those who are complaining consider that the world has imposed a defacto isolation of Africa because of Covid19. It is next to impossible to leave southern Africa and enter EU or America. What is the moral difference ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post ThailandRyan Posted December 31, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted December 31, 2020 (edited) Some people will never understand what it is like to stand up for others when there is wrongdoing. They will call someone who believes in doing the right thing a snowflake when they have no idea what being a person leading from the front is. I guess they would consider General George S. Patton a snowflake as well. Wrong is wrong no matter who it is. Edited December 31, 2020 by ThailandRyan 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wonder what they have to say about this. Thailand is probably one of the most xenophobic countries on earth. Discrimination and nationalistic thinking are promoted and officially endorsed by the government. Of course not all Thais are the same, but most go along with the racist thinking. I can think of two western nations off the top of my head that put Thailand to shame in these categories, in fact I believe they invented it all.. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
