Popular Post webfact Posted November 8, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted November 8, 2021 #ClubhouseToxic remained a top-trending hashtag on Thai Twitter over the weekend after a group of users began an online discussion discriminating against “Isaan” people, referring to those born in the north-eastern region of Thailand. The discussion caused massive uproar on Twitter, after a group of Clubhouse users listed allegedly stereotypical characteristics of native Isaan, such as teenage pregnancies, have dark skin and generally criticising their style. At one point, BLACKPINK member, Lalisa Manoban, who was born in Buri Ram province, was also mentioned, with one of the users saying “If Isaan is that great, Lisa would’ve come home. Lisa living there [South Korea] is much better than living in Isaan”.

Using the same logic she also didn't come and live in Bangkok so living in South Korea must be better than living in Bangkok ......................LOL 13 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Scott Tracy Posted November 8, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted November 8, 2021 Is this those of Chinese origin getting at those who are not? Perhaps a history lesson is due.

Popular Post Burma Bill Posted November 8, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted November 8, 2021 5 hours ago, webfact said: discriminating against “Isaan” people, I lived in Lanna for 13 years and Isaan for 6 years and I generally found the Northern/Eastern folk, including the various ethnic minority tribes, welcoming and charming, unlike many of the obnoxious and racist Thai establishment "hi-so's" from Bangkok we had to endure during public holidays. IMO "Toxic" just about sums them up!! 10 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Joe Farang Posted November 8, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted November 8, 2021 If you watch any Thai movies on Thai TV, the clever and important people are always White skinned Chinese Thai/Farang cross. The criminals and people of low intelligence are always depicted as brown skinned rural people. Even ladies from Issan accept this depiction as correct and normal. This behaviour runs deeper than just a social media site. It's engrained througout all of Thai society. 10 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jai Dee Posted November 8, 2021 Share Posted November 8, 2021 Opinion: Social media mocking of Isaan people shows lack of class of participants My first response after hearing of racial abuse against Isaan people by some youngsters on Club House was anger. Their comments were full of hatred towards their own people and it was unacceptable to say the least. They should be ashamed of themselves. My second response, disappointment. It is disappointing that these young urbanites, who were born more fortunate, are looking down on those less fortunate. There is a severe lack of empathy among the youth.

Yes people make more but just like any other country they pay more and are mopre hurried. LaLisa lived in S Korea for ne reason. That is where her agency is and that is where the k pop world is. Would she move back to isann probably not but then again how many girls and guys that move to Bangkok want to go back. It has more to do with what is offered in the cities. As to clubhouse it is the same as anywhere that people can yap and rant and be anonymous. People will say and do anything in ignorance or hated as long as they do not have to face anyone.

Actually, I would imagine that in these times there should a common bond among "regular" folks, as a collective for the so called rebellious youth. Instead of being practical and constructive for the cause.....they cast stereotypical divisions among themselves in a most petty and immature manner. And we still wonder why the movement isn't going anywhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andycoops Posted November 8, 2021 Share Posted November 8, 2021 I live in Isaan and much prefer it to Bangkok because of the smog, traffic, cost etc. It would be interesting to know the origins of these Isaan critics bearing in mind the huge number of people who have migrated from Isaan to Bangkok over recent decades, they may find they are not as pure as they think. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rct99q Posted November 9, 2021 Share Posted November 9, 2021 Funny. I live near Nong Khai and at present....at least four of the nearby young ladies (distant family of the wife), all under 18 are pregnant. Most, if not all, our neighbors are dark skinned, wife included. Many have returned home from the resort areas after working in the entertainment industry. Want cheap sex....come to Nong Khai, loaded with sex workers. My wife talks about how some far any stink. Told her all I can smell is fish sauce eminating from most of her relatives pores. If the daily talk is not about food, it is lottery. Most in our village never made it past M3. Sorry, if an ugly dog walks into a bar just calling it a beautiful swan does not make it so. I have lived here for 15 plus years. SOME of what they talk about is spot on. Mean? Racist? Just look at the division's in other countries...US, parts of Europe, South America. Ethnic divisions are alive and getting more extreme. Tis the New World Order as I see it. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Better bet that most of their relatives, friends and associates have some sort of familial connection with Isaan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
