Popular Post BKKBike09 Posted January 24 Popular Post Share Posted January 24 So. A group of Chinese people wearing matching red scarves and waving little Chinese flags stand around watching a guy play a piano in a public place (St. Pancras Station) and, after about 10 minutes, demand that the piano player 'stop filming them because they didn't give permission to be filmed'. He responds that it is a public place and that if they don't want to be filmed, they can move along. They get more and more upset and try and get the police to act on allegations of 'racism'. I suspect if this was in Thailand and a group of Chinese (or any nationality) demanded a Thai person stop filming them while the Thai person was playing music in a public place, the reaction might be a little different. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=65iwnI2hjAA 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Nick Carter icp Posted January 24 Popular Post Share Posted January 24 The British guy was very rude , if someone politely asks you not to film them or take their photo , you really should agree to their request . Seen many old Westerners walking around Thailand sticking their cameras in peoples faces and filming them and putting it online . There may be good reason why these Chinese people don't want to be filmed and the [pianist should respect their request . Such a rude guy 1 5 3 10 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Such a rude guy Nonsense he was polite and clam, he was not filming them as such and if they did not want to be in the shot just had to move away. Claiming they have image rights in the UK was ludicrous. Typical CCP brainwashed mainlanders, arrogant, rude and bullying. 2 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Denim Posted January 25 Popular Post Share Posted January 25 Disregarding other aspects , who was there first ? The pianist or the chinese ? If the piano was already in place and the guy was playing then first come first served principle. The Chinese came along afterwards apparently which was their choice. If they find something they don't like they could have moved on just as easily as they arrived. Entitled behavior much. 2 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post OneMoreFarang Posted January 25 Popular Post Share Posted January 25 About what would happen in Thailand: Option A: If the Chinese would be VIPs, then the Thai authorities would make sure there is no unauthorized filming. Option B: If they are nobodies, then nobody would care. Just f o if you don't like it. I saw that video from the UK. The group of Chinese people in the video (not all Chinese people in general) are just stupid. They walk as a group waving Chinese flags into a camera, stay in the view of the camera, and then demand not to be filmed. How stupid is that? If they really needed to be in that place for whatever reason without camera then maybe one of them could have discreetly asked the cameraman, off camera, if he would be so nice to point the camera in another direction for 10 min. I guess that would have been no problem. But no, they walk all in red into the camera, stand in front of the lens, and asked not to be filmed. Congratulations for showing your stupidity. 1 1 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post BenStark Posted January 25 Popular Post Share Posted January 25 Let me see if I get this right. The piano is somewhere in the UK. In the backside there are some Chinese people, visibly filming themselves and other people. Then after a while those Chinese people gonna make up the rules in the UK? If I was the pianist, I wouldn't even have wasted any time on them, and told them to get the f**ck back to China 1 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At one stage in the video I think he mentions 120 people are watching the livestream. Not too shabby outcome for him. I think it picks up on that cultural divide where in their mind they are being super polite yet come out seeming a bit arrogant and a bit petulant - especially where he shouts at him for touching her on the flag. 1 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would hazard a guess that if a foreigner of any nationality starts shouting at a Thai person in a public place, demanding that they stop doing something that is perfectly legal, the situation would escalate very rapidly, with a distinct possibility that the shouter would run the risk of being assaulted. Furthermore, I highly doubt a Thai policeman would tell a Thai person that they can't say to said foreigner "this is Thailand. This is not [name of country]"! 1 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
