Thais are racist towards farangs as well, and not only on Phuket. Southern Thais tend to be slightly more short-tempered .

Perhaps because they are not Buddhist.

Just a thought!

Unless you know the context and reality of the story, it makes little sense. There is however a lot of racism around the globe, even in sacred Britain where Steven Lawrence was beaten to death by white thugs and the police did nothing for years until public pressure was brought to bear.

No matter what the  context and reality of the story , I am struggling to identify what either  the death of Steven Lawrence, or the reaction of the british police to it, have to do with this thread

What leads you to believe that Rap music was being played by him ?

I somehow doubt it would have been country and western, don't you?

The guy who faced racism was because he was black NOT because he was british.

 

That whole 'that's not a race so it isn't racist' plays straight from the racist handbook. They love to trot it out. 

You sound like a teenage girl and a real angst  driven activist, you need to calm down. Are you even in Thailand?

[Stargeezr]

I knew a Brit who lived in Thailand for 20 years, as his neighbor hood in Britain was taken over by

ME folks. He also showed me some pictures of a mixed crowd in a British shopping market, and I was surprised 

of all the different people who had immigrated to the UK, and got to call them selves Brits.

  It is a mixed world we all get to live in, and No one should force their music on any one else. If in a Russian owned restaraunt, I would expect to

listen to some Russian music. If I felt I did not like the music, i would pay my bill and move else where. 

Maybe some people including this black Brit are just too sensitive? IMO

So go elsewhere no Russians

I would prefer the Russians go elsewhere, maybe Russia. They are bullies and backwards Neandertals. I would hope they kept a lower profile in Phuket, as they are guests.. but there is a likelihood their numbers give them confidence. 

[Tailwagsdog]

...when somebody disagrees with you or doesn't like you for whatever reason, don't automatically assume they are rascism. You sat down & they served you didn't they ...so what they didn't like your music ..then disagreement started ..OH THEY MUST BE RASCIST cos they're white and I'm black.....so tired of these whacks & quacks

[newnative]

I'm shocked this is even a story worth printing.  Everybody want their 15 minutes.

[stoner]

I notice the avengers have nothing to say on this thread. Telling.

Somebody does, otherwise I would not hear it being played loudly on loudspeakers by people walking by my house, riding bicycles by my house, and driving by my house, as much as I do.   

But, since it is the U.S. of A., there are people who like it.   Strangely enough, none of my black neighbors like it either!   Everyone that goes by my house listening to it are white!

It seems to me that black people everywhere are looking to be a victim now.Most normal people are sick to the back teeth with their moaning.

I personally have encountered this treatment across Europe,so what ,there are a million restaurants in Phuket,move on.

All this complaining about so-called racism will eventually come back to bite you on the axxx.

You misspelled axx!   ???? 

 

[Eloquent pilgrim]

If I were lucky enough to find a restaurant / bar that was accommodating enough to allow me to play most / part / any, of one of my playlists through their hi-fi system, in their restaurant, I would be delighted. I would also fully understand them wanting to play something other than my music whenever they chose.

 

Different for me I guess, because I am fortunate enough not to possess a sense of entitlement, and as a white caucasian I can’t pull out the race card every time I don’t get my own way.

I do. I love rap. In particular I love 80's and 90's gangster rap.

 

What I don't love is entitled idiots like the Brit in this case. What was he expecting? Everyone take the knee and apologize for their whiteness? A free meal as an act of reparation? Ask him to sign their copy of White Fragility? You're not in Islington now pal. If you don't like menus in Russian and Russian music maybe it's best to avoid Russian restaurants... Just a thought...

This guy is good at making himself look like a total wimp.

Back in the 60's, he would have been a Nig Nog or Golliewog 

Now he is simply an Englishman of colour pished off by Ruskies ????

I stayed 3 months in Kata Beach last year to visit my Thai and foreign friends. I lived there 20 years in the 80s till 2000. 

Then you should also know that there are a lot of Brits / Aussies who have businesses and cater for their nationalities too. Not always the silent types btw.

We ate at the little Night Market in Kata Beach. 

 

Didn't see any Russian owners there.

 

Your Thai wife should have directed you to more suitable Cheap Charlie food options. ????

Quite intriguing in Thailand, as we often see aged farangs (with Thai wives). These farangs often can be ridiculous racists and make sultry comments against other foreigners. Some sort of a way to ease their own complex for being married to a Thai maybe.

'We often see'? Who are 'we'?

M-A-G making assumptions about other foreigners, or 'farangs' as he calls them..... making ridiculous statements, (not to mention his), just because they are married to a Thai lady?

Suggest he 'grows-up' and contributes in an adult manner.

'We', are not amused!

In the UK it is spelt axxx,sorry.

But why we have to put so many xxxxxx's on a grown-up forum always baffles me.

[Purdey]

Quite confusing to come from one of the most racist countries in Europe and meet racist Russians. I remember colored Brits reporting that the day after the Brexit referendum result in 2016 they were jeered by white Brits telling them to go back to their own country. Avoiding Russians in Phuket should be a breeze.

Why let Russians stop you from visiting Thai relatives in Thailand?

I don’t know your nationality, but English is obviously not your first language; however, that notwithstanding, the translation app you are using is hilariously hopeless, so I suggest you try an alternative one.

Lots of bitter  Remainers posting things on Twitter reported by the equally bitter Remain BBC that may or may not have happened . 

   The Left wing Remainers  often make things up or make racist posts and blame others for it .

A person tweeted about what someone allegedly posted on Facebook and claimed in her tweet that the facebook post was racist !!!!!!!

  Those are not reliable sources

Yet another left wing wokester using the anti-British BBC, and the left wing comic ‘The Guardian’ as his source of information.

 

The Guardian article is all about the alleged abuse of Polish people in the UK; is this what you were referring to when you said “I remember colored Brits reporting that the day after the Brexit referendum result in 2016 they were jeered by white Brits telling them to go back to their own country” …. all those coloured Polish people, eh ?

 

And you would do well to remember that none of the accusations in either of those articles have been verified, they are simply accusations, not facts; but don’t let that get in the way of your narrative.
