Good find.

Oh, don't get me wrong, I think a lot of people agree with your take!Heng Heng Heng wrote: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.General Mackevili wrote: ↑Thu Apr 05, 2018 2:24 pmOf 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."Heng Heng Heng wrote:If the management was Cambodian would they be racist or prudent or something in-between?
I just personally feel racism is racism, no matter who's doing it.
I also find it to be a huge difference in just saying "wazzup my nigga" VS actually barring someone from being your customer based on your race/ethnicity/nationality.
I would also be in favor of allowing businesses to decide their customers based on whatever (right or wrong), and then society can handle their opinion of said businesses.
I mean, we have Affirmative Action in the US, and I don't know how anyone using logic could say it's not racist, but hey, like you said, a lot of people think you can't be "racist" against your own, and that minorities can't be considered racist, so I don't think any of what's going on these days makes any fucking sense, no matter how you slice it or dice it.
I also think movements like #BlackLivesMatter are doing more harm to blacks than the KKK ever could dream of doing to them. If I were black, I wouldn't want any group, especially my own, continuing to label us poor victims, so I don't get what they're trying to accomplish.
Our grandkids are gonna grow up in a different world and ask us, "did people really used to use pronouns that were different for men and women?"

So what should we be doing with our shoes, anyhow?
Re: Siem Reap Pub Hostel Cancels Reservation Because They Don't Allow Cambodians
When they stop taking stinky food plus rice cooker in the rooms, putting durian in the fridge provided and they do not sleep 10 people on the floor in a room for 2 people, they may be accepted ?
Since the concept of "racism" is not known in Asia SE, I am no more chocked about this kind of rules...

Racism and victimhood are well used cards in the US, many a politician and wanna be community organizers have gotten fortune and glory by claiming discrimination in everything! Meanwhile, the real victims suffer.
Re: Siem Reap Pub Hostel Cancels Reservation Because They Don't Allow Cambodians
Fight racism on one side (supposedly). Propaganda on the other hand. For example, there are now good travel agencies to discover North Korean, go there and have a look by yourself

Siem Reap Pub Hostel has reached out to CEO and wants to set the record straight. So we can all ignore the emails they have sent to potential Cambodian guests and the audio recoding sent to us from a Cambodian who called them to confirm everything, including the 7 Reasons why they don't allow Cambodian guests, and instead just read their official statement saying that it's all bullshit:
They also told us this:
"hi , Greetingbfrom siem reap pub owner , We need you to help us delete our you tube sound from your calling record video and your post about our hostel in siem reap . thAnks in advance.
This is not good news to know from a bout us."
