Where Smotherb comes from is totally irrelevant to this debate. If you think that it is relevant then that would indicate that you are racist. Besides if you were to ask me that question I could not in all honesty tell you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kraut Frog Yank Eytye Gent ( for English obviously, otherwise Jock, Paddy, Taffy) etc, etc. I've always assumed the word 'farang' was merely a corruption of the Thai word for 'Frenchman', the French being more or less the first western/Caucasian race the Thais encountered, and thus fell into common usage to describe any Occidental person. Interestingly, on the subject of what is acceptable/not acceptable in describing a particular person or race, I've found that referring to someone as Jewish is OK, but as a Jew, not so much. Funny, that.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enoon Posted February 20, 2017 Share Posted February 20, 2017 (edited) Why speak a phrase or sentence in English and switch to Thai to avoid using the English word "foreigner"? Would you ask a foreigner (speaking English) "While you are at Big C could you buy me a half kilo of diced Moo and a sapalot." The use of the word, by foreigners speaking English (or their own native language), is an affectation. Edited February 20, 2017 by Enoon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
