bkk6060 Posted July 10, 2021 Share Posted July 10, 2021 Not sure why anyone could complain because it could be considered racist if there was not a black option with dolls, figurines, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Odysseus123 Posted July 10, 2021 Share Posted July 10, 2021 According to my wife these images are Lakhorn "blackface" characters which seem (i'm guessing) to portray colourful, larger than life and rather "lucky" personalities. Possibly derived from American "blackface" but co-opted by the Thai-who are nothing if not eclectic and synthetic in their approach to life.✌️ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Golden Thaiger Posted July 11, 2021 Share Posted July 11, 2021 (edited) Poem about Sakai tribes by Rama 5 taught in elementary schools adopted to screen play in 1980. Perhaps the movie popularized the image and doll. Movie called Wild Rambutan. https://m.pantip.com/topic/32524772?
