Old Frenchman Gerard Amelot Arrested for Attacking Man in Kampot

Cambodia news in English! Here you'll find all the breaking news from Cambodia translated into English for our international readership and expat community to read and comment on. The majority of our news stories are gathered from the local Khmer newspapers, but we also bring you newsworthy media from Cambodia before you read them anywhere else. Because of the huge population of the capital city, most articles are from Phnom Penh, but Siem Reap, Sihanoukville, and Kampot often make the headlines as well. We report on all arrests and deaths of foreigners in Cambodia, and the details often come from the Cambodian police or local Khmer journalists. As an ASEAN news outlet, we also publish regional news and events from our neighboring countries. We also share local Khmer news stories that you won't find in English anywhere else. If you're looking for a certain article, you may use our site's search feature to find it quickly.

If I was an older (over 50?) white male and I comment on another "older white male" I dont see how this can be discriminatory, agest, bigoted or any of the common pc words bandied about these days, especially not racist (unless you call a Chinese person a Chink, an Italian a Dago, an Englishman a Pom , an American a septic tank, etc)
We should all be equal and these words just differentiate where we are from. No hate involved .

And let's also not forget to use "elderly"when referring to persons of relstively advanced age.

Merci beaucoup...

Some relatively old men don't consider themselves old, and are apt to find the term elderly offensive :)

Nothing wrong with being an old white guy, I sometimes look at these young people and I know that a lot of them won't even reach forty. Good luck to them.
Silence, exile, and cunning.
