ev1lchris Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 I was walking around when I saw a friend in a police cage. He said hi but then they drove off. It was a cage connected to a truck. Then later I find out that the police stopped him because he was black but let him go because he didn't do anything. What the hell is wrong with this country?

Jingthing Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 (edited) This isn't a country that even pretends to be "PC" or even pretends that it doesn't use racial and nationality profiling. So nobody's surprised. Edited January 22, 2016 by Jingthing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob13 Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 (edited) Did they tell him they stopped him cuz he was black or did they use an excuse? Edited January 22, 2016 by Rob13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mesquite Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 (edited) Sounds like a load of BS. That kind of stuff happens in the US all the time, but not over here. Either your friend brought his values here with him and imagined some or all, or you are a troll. Did they shoot him too?

NickJ Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 Happened to a good friend of mine in Pattaya. They were rounding up Africans. They let him go when they found out he was an American. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lovelomsak Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 Gee think about it.Maybe a crime had just been committed by a black in the area and picked him up to be in the line up for witness identification. Many reasons they could have picked him up.Or was picked up for being black just his excuse so he did not have to tell you the real reason.

Rob13 Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 Yeah, if someone in the area reported a crime and said a black man did it, he might have looked a little suspicious Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lostinisaan Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 (edited) Your friend must have done something that wasn't cool. Maybe only looking for a few noses? If that would be true, why did I never read something similar before?????? Whenever I go to Bangkok and walk around near Sukhumvit, I can see exactly who's dealing, while the cops are chasing white guys who throw cigarette buds away.... All the Nigerians might make it difficult for Americans, or Brits. Are you sure that he isn't doing drugs? They follow a dealer, see your friend talking to him and wusshh. Just one possible scenario.

mesquite Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 Sounds to me like he's been brainwashed into believing all that anti-black hysteria in the US and thinking it happens over here.

I've always considered you to be one of the more "thoughtful" posters to the forum. Everyone has their own particular down-side, I suppose. So why should you be an exception?

Gecko123 Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 (edited) The reason there is so much racism towards people of African and African-American descent in Thailand's expatriate community is simple. Many (not all) of the expatriate community come from middle and lower middle income socio-economic backgrounds which happen to be the groups most threatened by what they perceive as the encrouchment of non-white and other ethnic groups on their socio-economic status. Many find It humiliating that African and African-American guys can get laid over here as easily (and sometimes more easily) than they can. These are the guys who take such pleasure in promulgating the myth that Thais are racist towards blacks. Anecdotal evidence on the web of African and African-American people complaining about racism in Thailand is very scarce. Even in the rare instances where African or African-American people have complained about racism on TVF, there is almost never a chorus of other people of color joining in to make similar complaints. These complaints about "Thai racism" invariably seem to be voiced on behalf of a black person by some white guy. This thread is a prime example.
