Jimbo I am with you that pure racism can only be taught.

Re: Are Thai taught to be raciest people.
The Thais are akin to the French.
Born again losers.
Pipe dreams of Asian domination,lost battles galore as recently as around 12 odd years back.
Xenophic rabid anti anything unless it's money.
Thailand has never been colonized.
Excuse me did not the Japanese install a puppet goverment in world war two ?
Thailand was pulled out of the quagmire of the aftermath of the second world war due to people like Pridi.
Still a great country and indeed the majority of people one encounters at all levels of society are bloody decent types.

Re: Are Thai taught to be raciest people.
Yes, the Thais are racist. Yes, it is a learned trait.
And no, you aren't superior to anyone...Thais included. Yes, racism is bad. Yes, it is a part of the culture. No, you aren't going to change it.
If you don't like it...please don't let the door hit you on the ass on your way out.

They were not 'colonised' by the Japanese; they were occupied in war.

Re: Are Thai taught to be raciest people.
Sadly Jellybean, the then Thai goverment sold their country for a mess of potage as they were under the delusion the Japanese were going to give them (the Thai's) great swathes of this area, Malaysia, and the old French Indo China as a reward.
Incidentally the biggest collabarators in Thailand during the war were "the French and to a lesser degree the Dutch".
However as the tide turned for the Japanese so did the Japanese turn on the French and the Dutch.
Pridi saved this Kingdom from swinging penalties as he and others did not deliver Thailands Declaration of War to the Allies and the U.S.A.goverments.
I speak from personal knowledge of the facts from the children of the people involved in the Seri Thai movement,the equivalent of "The French Resistance".
Xenophic perhaps I am,however since when did the truth start to be xenophobic vis a vis another nations actions and the outcome of their forays into foreign parts?

Re: Are Thai taught to be raciest people.
^Well thanks for the education but even if you don't know the children of the resistance movement, all that is common knowledge, but they still were not 'colonised.'

So you can't hold the kids accountable and doing so is violence. If you're a teacher, you should know this. It's called education. Try some.

Kids look up to their parents no matter how despicable they may be. The kids that is.
