Negativity towards expats
Re: Negativity towards expats
Oh lets be honest here. Khmers don't give a fig about behavior as long as $$ are involved. Look at the way they tolerate the Chinese, and they are as ignorant af. So no, there ain't negativity as long as you keep greasing their sweaty palms.

Friendly and curious is how they seem to me.
They speak more frankly than us. For example if you are fat they will address you as Bong Mabb with a smile.
There is no shame in reality.

This non-inclusive zero-sum positive/negative dichotomy is way too Star Wars for me, sorry.sigmoid wrote: ↑Sun Feb 13, 2022 10:30 am It all comes down to perspective and attitude. People with negative attitudes of victimhood and the energy that goes with it often have paranoid delusions about being persecuted. They project their negativity onto the world and it gets reflected back at them.
Others can clearly see how they are making themselves miserable, but for them, it's reality.
Avoid such people. Stay positive and be grateful.
With regards to OP's actual topic, in mainstream media, haven't particularly noticed it. Only towards the US government.

That’s nonsense.
They do give a fig about behavior and they don’t tolerate the Chinese they have no choice just like they have no choice who lives or visits here.
Not all khmer just care about $$. Maybe it’s the circles you mix in?
People of the world, spice up your life.
Re: Negativity towards expats
Yeah, you're right. Upon re-reading this post, I was thinking something similar. Maybe it's a bit too negative about negative people and their negativity.siliconlife wrote: ↑Sun Feb 13, 2022 5:32 pmThis non-inclusive zero-sum positive/negative dichotomy is way too Star Wars for me, sorry.sigmoid wrote: ↑Sun Feb 13, 2022 10:30 am It all comes down to perspective and attitude.

Similar to Peace, let's give Negativity a chance.

Never really been something that bothered me personally
Of course, there will be racist idiots and xenophobic wankers in any group of people regardless of where they grew up or presently live

Re: Negativity towards expats
A stranger walked up to the city gates and asked the guard "What sort of people live here?"
The guard asked back" What sort of people lived in the city you came from?"
"They were a terrible bunch of nasty,backstabbing,untrustworthy layabouts"
"I expect you will find the people here the same" replied the guard,as the stranger hurried on past.
Later another stranger approached the guard and asked "What sort of people live here?"
To which the guard replied"What were the people like in the city you came from?"
"They were a lovely,helpful bunch of people that couldn't do enough for you"said the stranger
"I expect you will find the people here just the same?"said the guard opening the gate.
