Being black in Thailand

[The Legend]

Search is irrelevant. AI is here

 

Just yesterday on X I saw a bunch of black Americans (looked to me) posing together in a large group. They were all happy about being (living) in Thailand. I've also seen some thugs on TT posting how great it all is here. I think black people like everyone perhaps even more extatic about getting the F out of US. Some building lives here.

 

Please don't give me any BS about racism. Thai can be quite racist against whites as well. It either works for you or it doesn't.

Imagine house parties blasting out rap from the Thai moo ban. My soul shutters with fear.

No, they all looked like good people. Probably early retirement from military and govt. Even the kid thugs were like ... Ah I'm in heaven .. no need to be a thug. This is epic, I'm living like a king..no more struggling over nothing..

There's a nice black man who runs a YouTube channel in Chiang Mai promoting tourism in the area. Married to a white woman actually. Retired cop I think he said and would be a very nice neighbor to have.

Tiger Woods turned down a free Thai passport because of how his mum was treated after marrying a black American. 'Nuff said.

I did not know that. Did a quick search and it doesn't look cut and dry but something maybe there.

This is what you're referring to. Yeah I buy that 100%. That's the impression I get to from my limited experience talking about the subject. This may be changing a little in 2025 perhaps but I doubt much.

Well this suites me just fine frankly. In America it feels like every couple you see in commercial/advertisements is mixed race, black guy and white women. You would think America is at least 50% black. 

 

I don't think the black man is going to have such an easy time "escaping the west" by moving to Thailand. Maybe they'll even learn to have some appreciation for black-centric American culture and media.

I had one of those, her clit was sliced off in FGM barbarity, hopeless in bed

Agree!

 

There are hundreds of them in Eastern Spain. Met a few when I lived there.

 

Fortunately Fatima was intact. She had wonderful breasts.

There are growing numbers of blacks from all over the world living happily in Thailand. No where is perfect but Thailand is definitely not on the do not go cos your black list.

This interview pretty much says it all. If you are born in Thailand, you are Thai - but unless you are raised in a Thai family, and go to Thai schools, you'll never really fit in because your outlook and way of thinking will be different from most Thai people. 

 

This guy's parents aren't Thai and it sounds like he went to a madrassa after primary school. It seems odd, too, that he says he has an ID card but not a Thai passport - maybe he only has a pink ID.

 

Some of the comments by Thais are very revealing e.g. "he speaks Thai so clearly" ... "if you didn't see his face you'd think he was Thai" etc. Not "he was born here so he is Thai". But he doesn't look Thai so, to many Thai people, he could never be Thai.

 

 

Why would he be thai? He has no thai genetics at all. Just like if you stuck him in japan/china/poland/brazil, anywhere on earth. This notion that you can stick a 100% african in thailand and they magically become thai is a delusion created from the USA. There's no American ethnicity and so essentially anyone can go there and be an "American".

You think that's easy? That was a revolutionary idea, stepping out of the box so to speak, making a wheel and axle was another difficult step to master. wheeled vehicles are no use without rudimentary roads, they aren't much use in jungles.

Ok, name me a 3 noteworthy inventions that originated from Africa outside of Ancient Egypt.

[Andyfez]

That was nothing to do with people.

Have a look at some of their mythical art and you will understand.

More to do with seeing black spirits I suspect.

in 1650, no wheel and housing was only slightly more advanced than what a beaver can build but yet it's the fault of the Europeans for coming in the first place.

 

Do people remember this? He got tarred and feathered for saying naughty things the media and academia didn't like.

 

Nobel Prize-winning American scientist James Watson has been stripped of his honorary titles after repeating comments about race and intelligence.

The original Americans had a very clear ethnicity and to the extent they allowed naturalization it was only "white" people, as in people very similar to themselves.

 

This idea of an American melting pot was invented by immigrants for their own benefit and I would say is America 2.0.

Yes, I understand what the founding fathers stood for. I'm talking about modern day society. Name one prominent person who thinks the US should stay majority White, you can't find any outside of fringe people like Fuentes or David Duke and stuff. The US was taken over a long time ago by a group of people who believe multiculturalism is paramount to their survival, until those people can be criticized then yeah anyone can be an "American".

No one will go on the record saying that but that's how they live. Basically cowards that won't speak up and simply move when the demographics shift. White people why you running?

America is pretty broken with race no matter when it comes to this topic. Also, most people are struggling. The cost of living is crazy now.

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.

Note : Black people suffer almost exclusively from sickle cell anemia. Not a beneficial genetic inheritance.

 

I read that book too. The drug he took to keep his skin black actually made him very sick. Not sure but I think it finally killed him.

 

I was about 16 living in south Texas and the book was a real enlightenment because there were very few blacks there and my parents both totally failed in telling me who I should hate without reason.

When I moved to new jersey at 18 all my friends there gave me the whole list of derogatory names and who I should hate. A real education.

 

I wonder if we would learn to hate if we didn't have such teachers. We will never know because such exist in abundance in every society globally.

We can accept what our mentors and peers teach us, or question it.

 

My father hated Jews. He said Hitler had the right idea about them. I can only assume sometime in the past, a Jew bested him or cheated him in a business deal.

 

When I was in secondary school, there were a few Jewish kids in the class i was in. As far as I was concerned, they were the same as everyone else.

 

OTOH, I don't have any time for Arabs. That is based on my experiences working with them.

Well, you got me there.

 

In university in Austin Texas the arab engineering students were most of the ones who wanted to copy homework and cheat on the exams.

Intellectually I know that not all Arabs are alike but direct personal experience cannot help but color our perspective somewhat. To this day I simply avoid them when I can.
