   Do you think that there would have been a different reaction if it was a 70 year old German man saying the same thing to a Nana Plaza bar girl at  2AM  ?

 

Pointless analogy, you don't take shoes off in Nana Plaza

    Targeted for being Jewish/Israeli . Most probably instigated and filmed by an enemy . Thais are usually non plussed about shoes being worn or removed She also states that the restaurant

  • Many tourists feel this way.  They are so much better then the low poor Thais and Thais should kiss up to them. Disrespectful, sickening and shameful attitudes.

  • Deport her....

  Seems like the restaurant owner didn't mind if shoes were worn or not .

Seems it was other customers who complained and made the video .

   If you listen to the video ; The person that says "You are not welcome here "

Does that sound like a Thai person saying  it ?

Does she have a Thai accent ?

 

And once again, you are doubling down on something based only on your own assumptions.

When challenged, you always have the same response -- back pedalling with remarks like  "I said seems like"

 

ah here we go

If you did, then you wouldn't be asking me to provide any evidence

You don't take shoes off in many cafes either.

  We are talking about the words actually spoken . Her words were deemed offensive

   That contradicts her claim that she had a bad foot and the staff allowed her to keep her shoes on  and it was  other customers who complained and filmed

None of us  know what happened . We weren't there.

   Not my assumption at all .

"Seems like" = Her version of events .

Her version, NOT my assumption

In my experience, when someone behaves the way she did, it is best not to believe their version of events.

You do if a sign says "Please remove shoes..."

 

You either remove them or you don't go in. I wouldn't let in the shirtless boyfriend either.

 

Sounds like you are defending this POS

So? Who cares? Ever heard of freedom of speech?

 

It's impossible to not offend people these days. So many woke,  snowflakes looking around for things to be offended by

Her arrogance only added to what we are really talking about - the disrespectful act of not removing  shoes. That is what the story is about; the words, as evidenced by the video, simply emphasise her arrogance.

  But if you believe her version of events, then she didn't behave inappropriately . 

Going by your theory, you can falsely accuse someone of anything and then don't believe their claims of innocence .

I think people like to tear down attractive young women. In a way attractive young women are the new white males, we all know society is now geared to favour attractive young women. So when one comes along that can be torn down, people take great pleasure in doing so.

 

Older 70 year old males, even if German, are not considered all that high and mighty anymore. However, it's different with young attractive women, whom many perceive to have advantages they do not deserve. If she's Israeli, the most hated nationality in the world perhaps, then of course the pleasure is even greater.

 

That's just the way it is, I don't make the rules, I'm just stating them.

   Do you realise that she asked the restaurant owner whether she could wear shoes and the restaurant owner didn't mind if she did ?

   It seems to be the opposite to me .

People are attacking her solely because of her Region /Nationality .

She would have just sat in the restaurant with no attention and no filming had she been from Monaco

 

It's wrong to attack based on nationality or religion, TBH, it shouldn't even have been reported, it's irrelevant.

 

As I understand it, there was a sign saying please remove your shoes.

 

We don't know whether she asked, we only have her word for that.  If she did ask, we don't know whether she really did have a foot injury.  If she really did have a foot injury, we don't know whether it would be exacerbated by removing her shoes.

 

We do know she is an entitled Karen and she is contributing to giving Israeli tourists a bad rep.

Not defending anyone just meaning exactly what I said. I have never known any eating place require you to remove shoes before entering, but if they did I would comply or just go elsewhere. No big deal. Carrying on like that is as unacceptable as a shirtless male in a bar or eatery.

Sounds like you deliberately twist what you read in order to sound off.

The host gave  permission  for her to wear her shoes.

 

You keep repeating this claim - do you have any evidence for it?

Not sounding off....and thanks for confirming that you were defending the miscreants.

I was not defending anyone, my posts cannot be clearer.

Where are all the make belief quotes coming from the owner of the restaurant?

 

As far as i know she hasn't said anything regarding the shoe ethic - to which some are hard fast going on about excusing her behaviour.
