Dreadlocked backpackers act like twats on Koh Rong

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.

Are you really arguing that all Rasta men and by extension all those black people and indeed white people who were dreads are antisemitic? Or is it just a hairstyle that people can choose to wear and are you just more than a little bit racist?
Before anybody kow-tows to lawyer-inspired rabidly-PC culture, be aware that Arabs are-Semites.

From wiki:

' In the racialist classifications of Carleton S. Coon, the Semitic peoples were considered to be members of the Caucasian race, not dissimilar in appearance to the neighbouring Indo-European, Northwest Caucasian, and Kartvelian-speaking peoples of the region.[10] As language studies are interwoven with cultural studies, the term also came to describe the religions (ancient Semitic and Abrahamic) and Semitic-speaking ethnicities as well as the history of these varied cultures as associated by close geographic and linguistic distribution.[11]

Some recent genetic studies have found (by analysis of the DNA of Semitic-speaking peoples) that they have some common ancestry. Although no significant common mitochondrial results have been found, Y-chromosomal links between Semitic-speaking peoples of the Middle East like Arabs, Jews, Mandaeans, Samaritans, and Assyrians have shown links, despite differences contributed from other groups (see Y-chromosomal Aaron).

A DNA study of Jews and Palestinian Arabs (including Bedouins) found that these were more closely related to each other than to neighboring Arabs.[12][13]

Genetic studies indicate that modern Jews (Ashkenazi, Sephardic and Mizrahi specifically), Levantine Arabs, Assyrians, Samaritans, Maronites, Druze, Mandaeans, and Mhallami, all have an ancient indigenous common Near Eastern heritage which can be genetically mapped back to the ancient Fertile Crescent, but often also display genetic profiles distinct from one another, indicating the different histories of these peoples.[14]'

An anti-Semite, is, therefore, by definition, anybody who hates Semites.

A lot of Semites who try to apply this racial grouping only to their clique for political gain, fall into this category.

They are opportunistic, lying racists.

OK, that's been cleared up, can the rastafari get showers?

Now that we've gone totally off topic, it must be time for a music break.

Why should they be locked up? Hmm because they don’t shower?

Why should they be locked up?
For using drugs.

So much stereotyping on this forum. And whyever not? It's certainly easier than reaching conclusions based on experience.

Yeah but you have to admit mate, that video is some funny. And I would bet that was not the intent. Had my first good laugh of the day. The dolt leading them around waving his hands in front of him, sort of a blind leading the blind thing was especially good! You may have a point about the jealousy thing but I would love to see the looks on the faces of any of the people in the video when somebody shows it at a party in 10 years and everyone recognizes "Phil", the most boring and staid company accountant you could ever hope to meet.

Sure Johnny, almost all of us have committed some indiscretion in our younger years which causes us to blush inside later in life or leads us to query, " How the fuck am I still alive or why am I not doing time?". But my argument is directed against superficial generalized observations that may or may not be true and do nothing to describe the whole person. So some posters vent their pettiness hoping the pack will jump in.

I never knew that there are so many arrogant members on this forum, who look down on people with a different lifestyle.
There are people who cannot imagine that there are other ways of life than their own life. :facepalm:
