Being black in Thailand
I remember the book " Black like Me" by John Howard Griffin. He was a white American journalist and author who, in 1959, darkened his skin and traveled through the Deep South for six weeks, posing as a Black man. The book is his account of his experiences with racial prejudice and segregation during that time. In Thailand, dark skin means you are in the lowest socio-economic class, working in the rice fields. To me, black skin means a beneficial genetic inheritance. People with it are far less likely to develop skin cancers. It's like the epicanthic fold in Asian eyes, which originally developed to prevent snow blindness. -

If you have no worthwhile information to impart in either your posts or replies to them then I suggest you stop trying to make any such lack of informative posts. PS; For your info only. -

Tourist's Brain Invaded by Rare Worms Post-Exotic Holiday
I know of a Chiang Mai girl who died after a brain worm infection. She was misdiagnosed for three months and realistically the infestation had been in her brain for six months before diagnosis. She was put into an induced coma, the worms were killed off but complications killed her. Thais routinely take anti-parasite medicine, usually twice a year. It's available over the counter at pharmacies. Raw prawns are infamous hosts for parasites but undercooked fish is also a problem. There's no shame in asking for the meds, it's not a reflection of your hygiene, it's a reflection of the sometimes dubious foodstuffs that we are presented more than anything. -

George Clooney Criticizes Media for Failing to Cover Biden’s Declining Abilities
"The Biden administration was terrible at explaining that we’re a world economy, where we were actually doing better than all the other G7 countries." He still doesn't get it but why would he when he's rich and living in a bubble. Boomers with paid off houses and cars, fat pensions and 401ks are doing great. A majority of other people burned by inflation and struggling.
