Siem Reap Pub Hostel Cancels Reservation Because They Don't Allow Cambodians

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.

What hotels in America don't accept American guests? America is a huge country. Americans travel all over America all the time. Have you even been there?

If the management was Cambodian would they be racist or prudent or something in-between?

Nice one Kuronenko. And that photo is from when? As for Last (wannabe) Hippie Standing, yes they have a not well know policy of keeping Khmer out, especially during the evening hour shenanigans (who the fuck attends these all night psy-experineces I don't know). Last time they were called out on this on FB they tied themselves in knots with a combination or denials and explanations that was quite amusing. For the record, they'd have to pay ME to drink there.

Of course it's still racist, and stupid. If you're gonna have racist policies at your hotel, you should at least opt to be RACIST and LIE and say, "sorry, we're booked," instead of RACIST and STUPID and say, "sorry, we don't let Cambodians stay here."

To me it comes across as a warning like ‘ no drug fuelled orgies anymore, can’t just deny Khmer guests at your establishment here in the KOW’ , but said without spoiling any words...

At this point, I don't know if the management are Cambodian or not. The staff that responded to the messages certainly were. If they were Cambodian and banned other Cambodians from staying because they might misplace their shoes or something bad like that, it might not be racist. Like when an African American calls another African American, a nigga, that's not considered racism. But if a white American called an African American a nigga. that's racist and also a death-wish. Maybe it's OK to discriminate against your own group without being a racist. A Khmer woman once showed me around her overpriced rental and told me she would never rent it to any Chinese people. That's probably racist but I respect her right to choose the tenant she wants. Certainly food for thought.
