Re: Refused service for not being Chinese
So far I've not had any racial issues in any Chinese restaurant, ktv or grocer here. In fact, I usually find myself getting wasted at duck rice shops. And I'm a dark-skinned, indian.
But i gotta admit, if you can't handle the way some PRC's talk, it can come off as angry. I've always found that they are loud, in your face people. And being coy does not get you any respect. You gotta be loud and boisterous, without being offensive. Don't let snide remarks slide. Always have a comeback. The lost foreigner look is the worst.
And learn a bit of Mandarin and Hokkien.

if they wanna play the race card, all you need to do is squint your eyes and start spitting everywhere, then start a conversation in maximum volume. It should make them feel more comfortable lol

Re: Refused service for not being Chinese
Last time I checked we were talking about being/living in Cambodia not China!. Why should we learn a language of another visitor? I learnt enough Khmer to show respect in any local restaurant!.ofparadise wrote: ↑Sat Aug 01, 2020 7:58 am So far I've not had any racial issues in any Chinese restaurant, ktv or grocer here.

In Siem Reap and for a long time in PP I ate in a few Chinese places. Not a problem at all apart from the food and the price they charged for a pile of chicken bones. It seemed to be predominantly in SHV that people (western and Khmer) were made to feel unwelcome. The Chinese used to use the bars in Pub st The square, Beach road with no problems , no racial tensions that I can remember. Oh except one westerner who had a tattoo of a Taiwan flag, he got beaten up. But these places were quick to be bought and immediately bulldozed!
It Was 90% chinese owned business's in the place when I left. It should tell you something, pretty close to 100% wanted for instance?. We were not welcome. "You GO!" We went!
