ignorant people are ignorant people, no matter where in the world you are.

it's interesting that i've already had a couple of racist comments/actions directed towards me in thailand, all of which came from locals who live here. in america, most of my racist incidents stemmed from the fact that i'm asian, but things get more specific here in thailand. their version of "ching-chong-ching-chong!" is something along the lines of yelling "arigato!" or "kimchi!" while putting the backs of their hands against their foreheads and bowing as everyone around them laughs hysterically.

whenever i encounter people like this, i know that what they're saying and doing has nothing to do with me personally. they're only externally projecting their insecurities and looking like a god damn fool while doing so---it's so unfortunate.

  1. How awesome is that? i have had a lot experiences like that too. im half european and half mexican but most people assume im just white so i get to hear all kinds of lovely things and then i love to inform people that my grandmother was born in mexico especially my super white racist neighbors who informed me that its all these mexicans who are ruining california.
