Old Thai people have approached my wife and ask if Farangs really stink because the Government officials have said it on national Tv. She replied that from her life experience living in the States for over 15 years that a lot of Thai people stink a lot more than most Foreigners. But this just shows how normal it is to classify a race of people here without blinking an eye or even knowing that they are offensive. Culture 💯

@Hugh *******
I don't think that there is much doubt from many people that Thailand is not culturally racists. I literally hate that word "racist"because of what the liberals have turned it into but there is not a doubt about it in my mind. I am not booty hurt by it though. As I said it is a cultural thing.

It is all about culture and has been and will be acceptable to show racism here. It is not personal but the way they are raised. A lot of which they don't realize but simple things as them having to slow down for you while driving will cause the word Farang to be said as they shake their head. Until someone points it out by saying Con Thai to them in a reverse situation they don't realize it.

@Johnny *****
you can't say never if this has happened to me. But yes, usually not called farang.

Not always true. I hear people say to me that I am not the kind of farang they are worried about. As they are talking about Mayramar people with covid.
