The translation is terrible, but I thought the topic was of interest, so posted it as it was published by global domain news and BT News: https://www.globaldomainsnews.com/danis ... t-serve-me
Unfortunately, I have not been able to trace the original source, which is probably Danish. If there are any Danes out there, maybe they could find it and translate ?

Yes, I'd love to know what a "rynken" is.

They are serving a local without the face mask with maybe a little bit rynken on the nose, but to me they will not serve,” he says

Danish

Suggested translation: "They (Khmer vendors) will sell to Cambodians who are not wearing a mask, even if they turn up their noses a little, but they won't serve me" (barang, presumably wearing a face mask.)

Are these westerners not wearing gloves and masks? Would they be more likely to serve them if they took their own precautions? Or are they just turning people away left and right? Sounds harsh

I don't know, but I'd say that this article was written around Khmer NY, about a month ago. At that time, there were several coronavirus outbreaks in Cambodia associated with foreigners - two big clusters at the time were caused by a tourist group arriving from France, and also a group of Cambodians and Malaysians who attended a religious event in Malaysia. Local Cambodians were rightly afraid of contamination from these two outside sources.
I remember that was about the time when we started to wear masks to go shopping, but I never had a problem with being served. However, for about a week or ten days, people were nervous about foreigners being carriers of the virus. That has calmed down now.

So my idea is that this article was written about a month ago when there was a lot of anxiety about coronavirus, but this has passed now. It would be good to hear from the Danish man quoted in article if he still feels discriminated against, or if he thinks this feeling has passed.

Just don't frequent places which behave that way in the future. Let your dollars speak vs getting angry at any discrimination.
