Yup as usual we can expect some farang to feel perfectly fine for chinese to be discrimnated in SEA countries and feel that somehow they don't deserve their success despite overcoming the odds.

Let's take a look at thaksin's wiki page.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thaksin_Shinawatra

Thaksin's great-grandfather, Seng Sae Khu, was an immigrant from Meizhou, Guangdong, China, who arrived in Siam in the 1860s and settled in Chiang Mai in 1908. His eldest son, Chiang Sae Khu, was born in Chanthaburi in 1890 and married a Thai woman named Saeng Somna. Chiang's eldest son, Sak, adopted the Thai surname Shinawatra ("routinely appropriate action") in 1938 because of the country's anti-Chinese movement, and the rest of the family also adopted it.^[4]

So thaksin like many thai chinese adopted a thai type of name so his family changed his last name from khu to shinawatra.

To you guys oh that's fine. Yes some chinese had to change their last name no big deal but suppose some farangs had to change their last name. So the robinson family had to thaify their last name from robinson to maybe rachinawatra. Now see the difference the outburst the complaints of racism etc etc.

Despite all of that thaksin's family like many thai chinese managed to overcome all of that and dominate the economic and political climate of thailand and other SEA nations and they complained less than the farangs of course.

Imagine if the farangs had to change their last name to some thai name in thailand just like thaksin and other thai chinese families. Oh no the outburst and the bitching would be endless.

See, this is what happens when a deluded poster uses a few whining expats on TV to represent western people in Thailand. I should imagine there was some Chinese grumbling about what was happening when they first moved to Thailand as well.

Is this like that episode of the sopranos where Philly Leotardo tells of how his name was changed from what it is from Leonardo? Good ep anyway.

Read some of your topics/posts and it seems you really do have some beef with "farangs" as you call us.

This looks like another troll topic with the only purpose to provoke combative replies. Surely wont be long until they close this one also.
