wtf dude you are bringing this crap up all on your own and I can believe in systematic racism and still think those attacks are f'd up. I'm from the Bay Area🙄

@Duncan ******

first off I never mentioned black crime but merely that my parents were somewhat racist because they were part of the Asian immigrant community that were fed stories to fear Blacks. They also liked reading conservative news papers like the New York Post... Which goes to show you who is in charge of making up narratives to pit race against race. I say nothing about Blacks and Blacks who commit crime or Black on Asian crime - you brought that up. I really don't give a flying f what you think of me 🤷🏻‍♀️

@Duncan ******

yes I do. Asians didn't invent the model minority. There is a lot you read up on. I also didn't say white people but white supremacy and systematic racism - those are very different than "white people." It's easy to be a cynic.

@Robert *******

all I'm saying is, not ALL Thais are racist and the common word Khon Dam is a-ok and is what most people use. This group is really the last place to make an argument for political correctness anything 🤣 someone just tried to call me out on virtue signal - what in the actual f?

🙄🙄🙄 someone just accused me of "trying" to be woke. My dude, I AM woke!

@Edgar **************

yup my house growing up - in America, white supremacists and systematic racism perpetuated a war between Blacks and the model minority... Not proud that my parents used such derogatory terms (though not as bad as the N word by ANY means). I slipped and said it the other day and my 25 year old Thai nanny, eyes wide, corrected me like a proper woke millennial - it was a proud moment for me to see that the youth in Thailand are an inclusive and progressive bunch. I've never been so happy to be called out!

@Edgar **************

you can add a derogatory term like "Ai" or "Ee" rather than use "khon" but yes there is no N word that is tied to salvery.

@David *****

I haven't heard it with any Thais I know. There are racists everywhere and in every country, I wouldn't be so quick to assume ALL Thais use this derogatory term.

@Robert *******

who would say "the black?" And Thais don't speak that way either. It's the Black person.

@Robert *******

nope you are suggesting khon means “the" not what it literally means, it means "person". There is no argument in hell that could make "khon dam" out to be derogatory and if a Thai person wanted to be a racist jerk they would use a different term. Believe me I grew up with racist Thai immigrant parents in NYC - khon dam is NOT derogatory no matter how desperate you are to win this argument 😓
