Why did the French view Cambodians as children?

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.

Why did the French view Cambodians as children?

Because of stupid shit like this I expect.
Yet another ex CPP commune chief refusing to give up his office/ toys.

Former Commune Chief Holds On to Office
https://www.cambodiadaily.com/news/form ... ce-132359/

"BY VAN ROEUN | JULY 11, 2017

Another handover of a commune office from a ruling party official to his opposition counterpart is proving problematic, with a newly elected CNRP commune chief in Siem Reap City being forced to work outside his office because the former CPP chief refuses to budge.

Chen Sokngeng, 26, won the June 4 ballot in Sala Kamroeuk commune and was due to officially take over from Sam Lorn, 60, on Friday. However, the local CPP veteran has locked the office and refused to vacate the premises.


“He did not unlock the room for me to work in as commune chief and asked me to work in another place,” Mr. Sokngeng said on Monday. “It shows that he has clung to his power.”

A video posted to Facebook shows the young CNRP official working outside the locked room in a communal area with the commune’s councillors.

“He does not cooperate with us,” Mr. Sokngeng said. “Please, authorities help solve this problem.”

Mr. Lorn admitted that he had refused to remove his belongings, justifying his actions by claiming that he built the room in 2002 and was still serving as second deputy commune chief. He said he had removed a sign that showed the room was for the commune chief.

“I still have a position as second commune chief so I have to work in that room,” Mr. Lorn said. “We should work together to avoid being criticized by the people. We should not quarrel over the room.”

While there is only one private office in the building, the incoming chief could use cabinets to partition the shared space and secure an area for himself, Mr. Lorn said.

“It’s a trifling matter,” he said.

Haha, good one!

Classic colonial tactic.

Men got called boys, women got called girls, merely to lessen their importance/stature, so that any disenfranchisement would not seem so bad.

Stop giving Frank the willies.
I wouldn't mind being a Cambodian landlord in a tourist bar/ restaurant area. It would almost be about time to retire to my villa on Lake Geneva.

They viewed Cambodians like that because they were racist cunts. It's interesting that the Social Justice Warrior who started this thread shares those views. He'd fit in well at the Otres Corner Bar.
Silence, exile, and cunning.
