Harris Leads Trump by 6 Points Following Debate Performance
So what? Exactly. Some are apparently so obsessed by Trump that they rant on about anything and everything to do with Trump, and fill every possible thread with silly posts attacking him for anything possible. There is a psychological description for such an obsession. I feel pity for those whose lives apparently revolve around the Donald, to the extent apparent on this forum. -

Electric Vehicles in Thailand
My reason, because they perform better, and less expensive to operate & maintain. Best reason ... I don't support the monopoly of big oil, or have to go to the station to top up every week or 2 or 4, or ever, unless out of town. INDEPENDENCE IS BLISS -

Teacher Barred After Smuggling Teenager to the UK as a "Slave"
Immigrant trafficks and enslaves a child, gets convicted and then lies about the conviction to get a job working with children and it's the fault of "the right" for "hate mongering"? 😄 Ludicrous even by your standards.😆😆 -

US Navy introduces 'first gender-neutral submarine.' What could possibly go wrong?
"Someone with no clue" just did a Google search and found the following language: "The first female officers reported to Ohio-class ballistic missile submarines in 2011, just one year after the ban on females on submarines lifted. [3] Then in 2013, the Navy announced plans to start training female enlisted sailors for service onboard submarines." So I guess in your world, "decades" refers to a period of time between 2011 and the present. Bet you don't feel so smug now, wokie. -

Brawl on Bangla Road, Transgender Woman Assaults Tourist
Let's get something out of the way first: don't ever tell me I need to be quiet again. Your posts have a thuggish, loud-mouthed, and condescending tone which in all likelihood explains your poor community rating. I suggest you work on this going forward. Talk about drivel. What do any of the above factoids have anything to do with racial attitudes by Thais towards Indians and Middle-Eastern tourists? Answer: absolutely nothing. If anything, you make the case for how well these communities are integrated into Thai culture. You tell me I need to shut up, and then proceed to pompously "school" me about the cultural and religious ties between India and Thailand? Indo-China. Hello? Thanks for the elementary school geography lesson. You're the one who needs to give me a break, buddy. I do not believe there are these smoldering animosities between the Indian community and Thais, and all of the examples you cited above about their integration into the Thai business community only serve to support this contention. I never said that all racial or cultural tensions between Thais and Indian and Middle-Eastern tourists in red-light districts could be traced solely back to the white ex-pat community. In fact, I acknowledged that to a certain degree these tensions probably do exist. I think these tensions might have to more with them being less affluent, holding less promise of a better life back in India, and being less susceptible to falling under the spell of a doe-eyed bar girl than a fresh-off-the-boat tourist from the West than it has anything to do with personal hygiene or fear of being gang-raped after being lured back to the hotel. And let's not forget the white ex-pat community's reputation in these areas isn't exactly pristine, now is it? And just while I'm on the subject of body hygiene, from what I've seen most of those Indian and Middle-Eastern men are younger and more physically fit and probably more enjoyable in the sack from the standpoint of a working girl, than someone with a huge beer belly, toe fungus, and a mouth full of rotting teeth.Can I get an Amen from my brothers in Mumbai? All I was saying is that in my close to 40 years of coming to Thailand, I have observed a great deal of prejudice directed at the Indian and Middle-Eastern communities from the English speaking on-line community and the inculcation of these racial attitudes have at the very least helped legitimize, normalize and as I said I suspect in some cases have helped create a climate where mistreatment of these tourist groups is more tolerated, if not subtly condoned, than it would otherwise be. Over the years, I have also seen multiple examples of white expats indoctrinating and encouraging their Thai girlfriends and wives and other acquaintances to share their racial prejudices towards racial groups, whether you're talking about Indians, Middle-Eastern, Chinese, Africans, crying into their beers about the great replacement theory and how demographic changes make it unlikely they will ever return home again. When I cited the level of racism you encounter on line on forums such as this one, it wasn't to suggest that Thais are reading Aseannow (although there is an easily accessible translation function which makes this entirely possible and I am sure there are plenty of Thais who do on occasion read this forum). I cited the level of racism on this forum as a barometer for the racial attitudes towards Indians and Middle-Easterners in expat dense communities such as Pattaya, Phuket, Hua Hin, etc. Do you really think that someone who is bashing Indians or Middle-Easterners or Africans every time one of them commits a misdeed isn't doing the same over the dinner table when they're talking to their wife or girlfriend? If someone is thinking about claiming they've never noticed any prejudice voiced towards these groups, they need look no further than here: https://aseannow.com/topic/1338376-pakistani-tourist-robbed-by-scam-artists-during-first-pattaya-visit/page/2/ (which is an extremely tame example.) What I found most ironic and REVEALING is that the same people who have been most triggered by my comments are (with perhaps one or two exceptions) the very same people who make derogatory comments on a regular basis on this forum about racial minorities, bleat on about the great replacement theory, love Donald Trump, hate BLM, squawk on and on about woke-ism and political correctness, etc. It's like they are desperate to believe that Thais are as racist, if not more so, as they are in order to validate their beliefs and absolve themselves of any responsibility for the role they play in promulgating these prejudices and beliefs.
