ORIGINAL POSTER

Calling someone a racist because you didn't like that you were wrong.... When I'm wrong about something, I'm adult enough to say (and to be fair, I'm wrong in here surprisingly often) "I stand corrected then"

Myat made responded to a question, "yes, visa on arrival can be extended". 3 people told her no, visa on arrivals cannot be extended, only visa exempt entries can." She argued, then deleted her comment.

"I'm too old to argue, I'll just delete my comment then make another comment letting everyone know I deleted my comment because I need attention..."

Where she crossed the line is calling me a racist.

TLDR : Answer Summary

The discussion revolves around a confrontation in a community forum regarding visa information in Thailand, where a member named Myat mistakenly stated that visas on arrival could be extended. After being corrected, she reportedly called another member a racist, leading to a heated debate among participants about the appropriateness of her comments, the concept of victimization, and the responsibilities of group admins. The situation escalated with various users commenting on the implications of race in the argument.

Calling you white doesn't mean she's calling you a racist. She's just describing your attribute. If your overly sensitive about something little as this, maybe social media isn't right for you.

Bringing up someone’s color in an dispute is quite racial….tell us it wouldn’t be if the roles were reversed.

If I was talking to a black (African American or whatever PC term you want to use) and he said that he doesn't tan and I said, because you're black? Does that mean I'm implying he's a racist or am I just pointing out a characteristic about him that is true?

Yeah you correct about this but Jesus you get so much wrong for someone that should be an admin of a group and this affects your credibility 👍 The two situations are unconnected by the way

I've said many times, my goal was to create a community where people could help each other, the more people the more diversity of information available.

But just for fun, what was the last thing I was wrong about?

he was in Chaing Mai and looking for a passport solution. It's great to have a group and valuable to many but don't get caught up in replying for replying sake when you believe you may have the answer 😉

just for fun, you started sending a guy from Chiang Mai to Bangkok for a renewal of a UK passport. There are 2 offices in Thailand for VFS and one is in Chiang Mai. You're not a bad person but always fact check particularly if you are an admin 🍻

She left the group after calling me a racist, that's why her names grey. Typical, wants to say something but doesn't want anyone else to say anything back.

The real racists show themselves when the first defense is to play the race card when things don’t go their way. Thank you Myat for showing your true self.
