A Non Racist Observation
Re: A Non Racist Observation
So you say your wife is from Singapore and your location is Singapore and Yorkshire and you are talking about Hayes, why are you posting this on a Cambodian web site?

Re: A Non Racist Observation
One of the biggest clues as to what the General Chatter forum is about is in the description explaining what the General Chatter is here for.
But you knew that, didn’t you?Someone who setup CEO wrote:This is a part of our Cambodia forums to chat about anything, whether it relates to Cambodia or not. This discussion forum is at the top of our site because it's usually the busiest part of the expat community chatter with random topics on just about everything, including expat life, Khmer politics, Cambodian blogs we have or have come across, or whatever else our members want to discuss. Whether you're an expatriate, tourist, Cambodian or random traveler just passing through South East Asia, you are welcome to talk about anything or start new topics yourselves.

Re: A Non Racist Observation
So, you read the initial post, and the only bit you’ve managed to get correct is that there was an airport involved.
Well done.
For some people, it is important that they read more slowly, so that the details of the post are actually understood. Perhaps, read the post a few times, in case there is an issue with concentrating. Our 5yr old has the same difficulty.

You could say Bradford was in my back yard for 50 years, up until moving here. And one of my favourite foods is Indian curries. But like you have quoted in your percentages Charlie. The largest proportion of people of Pakistani ethnic origin in England. So that gets me to my most favourite of all are Pakistani curries.
Did you know in Bradford, you could go to a different Asian Restaurant or Take-away each day of the year, and you still would have not completed them all.
I have visited many over the years, I would take my children too. The day has come that their own children are going with them now.
One of our most enjoyable Restaurant's is the Karachi and as been around since I was a youngster.
Here is an extract from the thoughts of Rick Stein's visit.
Why the Karachi, when there are so many restaurants and curry houses in Bradford? Rick wanted to sample the food at one of the city's original curry houses. Others may have closed or moved on but the Karachi, with its formica tables and a kitchen you can see right into, still retains the feel of the working-mans cafe it once was. Until relatively recently it even had a sign outside saying 'Karachi Social Club.'
Here most of the effort goes into the food and the restaurant has built up a loyal clientele, some of whom have been popping in regularly since the 1960s. Rick Stein concludes: "The Karachi customers probably think that curries are always as good as this but they're not" and his crew say the food was "fantastic."
Always "hope" but never "expect".
Re: A Non Racist Observation
While the words 'brown' makes very it easy to bash this post (although it also gives it a nice touch of irony given the title of the thread and the first post) the core of the message still seems valid to me... Just exchange 'brown' with 'of foreign descent' or similar and you have it.

Usual stupid reply from someone who has not read my post properly.
The last time I was in Hayes was around 50 years ago and the asian population were regarded as being exotic. When an ethnic group is displaced I do not think it is a good thing. I think it is much better if different cultures are spread around rather than grouped all together like Western people tend to do when they move overseas. In a foreign country I prefer to live among the original ethnic group rather than my own countrymen.
I just wonder why people move to a foreign country and try to turn it into what they have left behind?
The way I read your post is that it is not that they are foreign born or children of foreign born nor is it they are a different race than you that shocked you. It is that they are brown. If the inhabitants of Hayes were " very pale complexion" I am sure you would be more welcoming, after all how a man who is married to an Asian could be considered racist is hard to comprehend, you are just more insightful than others.
No doubt in Cambodia you would choose spiders, crickets, prahok over a steak and kidney pie and wear a salong as opposed to a pair of shorts.
Re: A Non Racist Observation
You seem confused. My entire post was correct, the OP is quibbling over shades of brown. The point remains, he's complaining about foreigners in his country while waiting for his foreign wife to arrive. Try taking your own advice about reading carefully.Freightdog wrote: ↑Mon Apr 01, 2019 5:26 am For some people, it is important that they read more slowly, so that the details of the post are actually understood.
