Are Thai's Very Tolerant Of Us?

Why do mods allow nonsical threads like this?

If you are sitting at home and you decide to start a thread like of this nature I would suggest you have got some serious issues.

Isn't that what the report button is for?

That is why I didn't push it. But upon viewing the thread yesterday I wondered if the OP was just trying to promote some kind of issue.

Youre talking through your hat OP. Racism and xenophobia is vastly more common in many asian countries: in particular Thailand, Korea, China and Japan. It's just that in these asian countries it tends to be less physical. The degree of racism xenophobia in most western countries is far lower. Yes there may be the very occasional event which is then beat-up by the media and white bashers and the rediculous PC brigade along with loud threats from the government of the victim. But, if you take Thailand, for example, and look at the evidence over the years of a myriad of disgusting and evil wrongs perpetrated by Thais on westeners, it makes the odd event, in say, Australia, simply pale into insignificance.

You can walk into any Australian city right now and you will witness tens of thousands of asians (and many others such as middle eastern) Thais, Chinese, Koreans, Japanese, Vietnamese, Phillipino, etc etc etc walking around extremely happy with their move to Australia. In fact, you could even say they seem to walk around as if they own the place, not feeling 2nd, or 3rd class, but extremely confident, very well entrenched...settled-in. They look like they're on top of the world...they've struck it rich, got businesses (unfortunately, almost entirely staffed by people from their own ethnic background), got their family, got their car, got their house...hey it seems as though "they got it all", they got their PR or citizenship, can buy land...hey, the whole farm etc etc.

And, I witness the local "whites" treating the "newcomers" as if they were part of the family...no (observable) discrimination, friendly, helpful, sharing, engaging, welcoming, inclusive.

Look, bassed on the overwhelming evidence I have seen, I utterly disagree with you.

I'd much prefer you to use your time and energy trying to improve the lot for expats in countries like Thailand instead of taking "trendy", "PC" swipe and not so subtle smear campaign of westeners.

I have to admit I agree with you regards the opportunities and success achieved by Asians who have migrated to Australia and other western countries. Though the key word is "migrants". No matter how people wish to spin it, Western foreigners in Thailand are not treated/welcomed as migrants upon arrival.

I read the OP as a question of a particular group as an organisation of some sorts conspiring to create problems for farang. In the same OP using other nations as an example.

To answer the question I would say I have never seen one or heard of any particular group, neither has my wife. Only thing that comes close is the government but that IMO is a mix of xenophobia and tact.

To add to and to reinforce my previous post, there are people everywhere in places like Australia that live and behave differently to others, Australia is after all a multicultural society. The way I live may not appease someone of another culture and they may dislike what I do, hell they even may treat me poorly but to claim we have specific groups of individuals conspiring against folk from other cultures is quite remote, not to say that it doesn't happen but it is no issue. Apart from the ole mole from 2 doors down, my wife and kids have never felt discriminated against.

[FarangTalk]

The tolerance usually expires as soon as our usefulness does.
