Is this being racist?

It could be considered racist but the context indicates stereotyping which is plain ignorance and one crime level below racism, in my opinion. I wouldn't want to be in his shoes in a western country if the other guy complained to HR.

No its  isnt , people ALWAYS   put  people  into groups, its  the old  "is  that  tiger  in the bushes or the breeze blowing scenario".

The guy needs management to tell him to do his job and stop having personal conversations unless it is during break times.

and  then the rest  of the Thai  staff  who WILL be  gawking at their  phones  all day,  bloody  things should  be banned  worldwide from any workplace in 99%  of  cases.

Actually, no one got offended .

Although it is rather inappropriate to comment on peoples large body parts whilst in the working environment 

I didn't say anyone got offended. But my comment as stated is true?

are a lot of sensitive people out there , * even if it's not offensive ......????

I think there are far more insensitive people out there and that is where the problem starts .

Big hooked nose?

Blame it on the Hittites.

Apparantly it occurs frequently among Mediterranean people in general, Jews and non Jews but not even close to a majority of them.

[Jingthing]

Many will disagree but social context matters. Such as the demographics and racial pecking order of a particular community. Germans with their history pointing out big noses is objectively different and more loaded than a Jewish girl expressing desire for a nose job among Jewish peers. I think by far the bulk of nose jobs done globally are among Asians to change the shape.

 

Love your nose!

There are quite a few posters on this site who get upset and offended when they are referred to as "Felang" , I trust that you aren't one of them ?

I much prefer bing called ‘fulang’... then we can get into the debate about the spelling of a non-English word and whether the r is pronounced trilled or not !!! ????

Freedom of speech doesn't give you the right to verbally abuse other people

The last ten years in developed countries?? To my mind that's gone entirely wrong. I'll live with the farang sleights from the Thais for the extended liberty not living under wokeness.

Some of us don't consider the term "farang" to be a slight at all.

Verbally abuse lol. Woke much? File charges?

 

An insult is no more than that.  Children and bullying aside - words do no physical harm.

 

If it's a real issue - settle it the way humans do... with a fight. Could be fists or pistols at dawn.

Just wondering why you claim to be impervious to racism but regard the community you live in to be racist against you because they use a "racist" word to describe you? Perhaps you're more concerned at protecting the racism you care to impart?

That is the way criminals behave and those people who don't adhere to any rules or laws .

False equivalency much?

 

Insulting and possibly true stereotype racial or not - especially a one off only constitutes s *abuse* by the groups that whine and hunt it out to later use it as a weapon.

 

Spousal abuse

Child abuse

 

Verbal abuse

 

I see what you did there but I'm not buying it for a second. Calling people off-color names, use of stereotypes is not abuse no matter what woke trends indicate.

I just don't care. I don't care what others think of me or any racist names they ascribe to me.

 

I want to allow everyone to think, act as they so desire. I'll do the same.

 

I don't believe in social engineering, especially wokeness and anything that failed thinking might remotely embrace.

Demonstrating consideration for minorities is "failed thinking"?

That's the way men behave.

 

Of course there is no honor in thuggery and brawling but seeing as I had to point it out - it's a lost cause.

 

That's what keeps the nonsense in check. Not whining and certainly not laws.

Virtue signal much? I'd say every post on this thread.

 

In twenty years whites will be a minority in the US, probably less time in UK and Sweden. What then?

 

Whites are clear minorities in East Asia with laws even protecting the natives. Not a week goes by and someone is whining about racism. This week it was *racism in the NPs*. I'm so aggrieved ????

That may be the way "real" men behave .

But Gentlemen behave in a more refined manner .

Not calling people names or verbally abusing them and not settling disagreements with a fight .

   BTW , are you from Australia perchance ?

I call B.S.!

 

White resentment is a social disease. 

What's referred to is if you ADD UP all the NON-WHITES then whites will eventually be a little less than 50 percent, Get the BIG difference?

 

The US will become ‘minority white’ in 2045, Census projects (brookings.edu)

Quote

New census population projections confirm the importance of racial minorities as the primary demographic engine of the nation’s future growth, countering an aging, slow-growing and soon to be declining white population. The new statistics project that the nation will become “minority white” in 2045. During that year, whites will comprise 49.7 percent of the population in contrast to 24.6 percent for Hispanics, 13.1 percent for blacks, 7.9 percent for Asians, and 3.8 percent for multiracial populations (see Figure 1).
