Re: Are Thai taught to be raciest people.
I won't flame you ahri, but the OP was talking about the racism that Thais display to their geographical neighbors. I don't think the 'farang pricing system' is what he meant.
Granted the double-price fleecing many farang get subjected to is racist in nature, it is more opportunism than demeaning, is it not?
My lady is intelligent, educated, employed and well-respected within her own community, but even she doesn't want to be any 'blacker', though I've mentioned countless times how it doesn't matter to me her skin color or the color of the kids' skin. It is about how she would be looked down upon by her fellow countrymen.
I'm not saying it's right or correct. I know I can't change the entire society...that is an impossibility. I do hope, over time, to influence the family I have here, though.
Think globally, act locally
