Anonymity

This is where our community discusses almost anything! While we're mainly a Cambodia expat discussion forum and talk about expat life here, we debate about almost everything. Even if you're a tourist passing through Southeast Asia and want to connect with expatriates living and working in Cambodia, this is the first section of our site that you should check out. Our members start their own discussions or post links to other blogs and/or news articles they find interesting and want to chat about. So join in the fun and start new topics, or feel free to comment on anything our community members have already started! We also have some Khmer members here as well, but English is the main language used on CEO. You're welcome to have a look around, and if you decide you want to participate, you can become a part our international expat community by signing up for a free account.

Yeah I happen to agree with you but I'm not a teacher. I’m just someone that worked in the disability sector and wanted to correct the wrong.

Actually I think the PC stuff has gone too far and ask any Khmer with a disability and I can assure you that don't give a shit whether its people with disabilities or disabled person.

I appreciate the irony and try to avoid being pedantic about semantics.
In my defense I did manage to post some relevant comments before derailing the thread. Also, G-Mac started it! :twisted:

LoL! ! !

I was simply trying to point out examples of times you're not in the wrong, but still might benefit from a little bit of privacy online.

Far more politically correct? A country where you can use racist terms with people you barely know? A country which doesn't have any race quotas or affirmative action programs*, unlike the UK or the US?

*Except for a tiny selection of low-level civil service jobs which are reserved for our dusky mates

I'm calling oxymoron.

What the "anonymity" of Internet discussion has taught me is to focus on a person's reasoning, thoughts, ideas and opinions without taking into account gender, age, race, professions, and so on.
Good point this.
Since working out that you are a woman I have found your, anyway excellent, posts even more interesting.

What is that: a kind of benign sexism, positive discrimination?

I only have two close black friends and they both despise positive discrimination, or whatever the term is.
