The Top Ten Questions I get asked in TF.

(1) All ?farangs? are crazy about sex right?

(2) Are you butterfly same all ?Farang??

(3) Why all ?farang? like go-go bar?

(4) You like a lot of sexy girls right?

(5) Why do all ?farangs? lie?

(6) Why you not have girlfriend?

(7) Are you gay?

(8) Why do all ?farangs? like bar girls?

(9) Do you have gik?

(10) Do you play games like all 'farangs' do?

In our world, there are some people who are very bad, and some very good people and a whole bunch of people who are average. I suggest the same applies to the people here in TF. This is what is called ?natural distribution?.

This term ?farang? seems to be used to excess and in quite racist and ignorant ways by some people in here. Surprisingly, by well-educated people who should know better than to generalize and make broad sweeping statements about ?all farangs? or ?all anyone?.

Try changing the word ?farang? to ?Thai girl? in most of the questions above. How would a good Thai girl feel if someone asked her: ?All Thai girls are crazy about sex right?? or ?Why do all Thai girls lie??. I am sure she would be insulted.

Outside Thailand, i am not called 'farang'. In Singapore I was 'Angmo', in malaysia I was 'Matsali', in Hongkong, I was 'Gwalo', in Australia I was called a Pommy. All of these terms have their own history and meaning and all can be used and are used in racist ways. That is part of life as a Westerner in Asia, along with monsoons, being stared at and the occasional case of the shits.

ALL monkeys eat bananas. ALL dogs smell other dogs? bums now and again.

But, not ALL farang are the same. Any more than all Thai people are the same. It makes no sense to think they are.

To all the girls who have asked me these sorts of mindless questions above, I ask you to grow up and check your facts.

It is a fact that the ?farang? sex industry in Thailand makes up less that 10% of the entire sex industry here. Go figure the other 90% that is rarely talked about here.

It is also a fact that not all ?farangs? are hanging around in bars picking up bar girls.

If this is supposed to be an on-line community, perhaps we should think more before we say things, treat each other with good heart, respect and not assume everyone is guilty before they are proven innocent.

I try to treat everyone i meet her as individuals and with respect. All I ask is the same in return.

All comments about this are most welcome.

I wish you all a happy night/day.

Thanks Lillydilly. There is nothing to 'get over'. I am simply pointing out something i observe. Just because these terms have been used 'for centuries' does not make them right. The reality is that a word means nothing. It is just shapes on the page. It is only when it has intention behind that it carries any meaning. Calling someone Angmo or Jek or Farang can be in good fun too. What is am talking about, to be precise, is the meaning behind these words when they are sometimes used. If what i have written causes some people to think just a bit more, then that is good.

Xtremely: I dont say '****-off' to anyone unless seriously provoked. If you read any pride in my words above, you should try reading it again with a dictionary. But thanks for your comment.

PeeMarc >> Je ne parle pas beaucoup de francais, mais je doit soyer, I can read all by no dictionary too.....even I m not fluent in PRETENDING to be nice.....................................after reading thing as this....even not my business. Maybe u not know about 'Carcastic" thing from my last comment. Coz u too fluent on polite and all describe details from all ppl.Ciao. hu! hu!

Xtremely: I still have no idea what you are talking about or the points you are trying make in either of your comments. Perhaps you just want some attention. I dont really know. Perhaps your game is to provoke. I dont know. Are you now suggesting that I am 'pretending' to be polite? And you should also know that sarcasm is the lowest form of wit, and rarely funny. But as I said earlier, all comments are welcome. "I may not agree with everything you say, but i would die for your right to have the freedome to say them."

Flydragon: I am confused because I did not receive any email from you. Sorry.

Geri: thanks for reading. I appreciate it. :)

The main question I get asked by Thai females is "Why do all farang like dark skinned Thai girl?"

I tell them that I think it is the dark skinned girls who are the friendliest to the farang.

So the farang liking them, too, is just a response.

I agree with a lot of your statements, however there must ba a lot of farangs that do/think the negative issues when visiting Thailand, and maybe not thinking twice about themselves, just there to have there fling for the holiday and leave without any shame or remorse done to the Thai people............

Yea, and I especially like this funny contrast of two questions compared to the rest of them (some of them familiar)

(6) Why you not have girlfriend?

(7) Are you gay?

So, it is either you like go go girls, or you are gay. Why you can't just be single, straight guy who is not all crazed up on go go, damn it.

(1) All ?farangs? are crazy about sex right?

Yes

(2) Are you butterfly same all ?Farang??

Yes, because I'm crazy about sex

(3) Why all ?farang? like go-go bar?

Yes, because I'm crazy about sex

(4) You like a lot of sexy girls right?

Yes, because I'm crazy about sex

I see a pattern forming and I hope this trend i broken before question 7 :-)

After working internationally I realize that the people of the world fit in my rich portfolio of stereotypes, and that they continue to fit perfectly as long as you don't use them on individuals.

PiAnt.. you seem to have missed the point. I know what 'farang means. Thats ok. It is when people usee words like 'All', 'Every', 'Never' etc...and make generalisations based on a small percentage. Thanks.

Gille... you make me laugh:)

To all... Thanks!

Thanks for reading AmericanThai.... yes.... maybe next time Lillydilly is called a '*****' simply coz she is thai, she might understand how it feels... (I honestly hope that noone does say that to her though!!) all i am doing is making a point so some people can perhaps thinks more before the speak... wish you a great day:)

WHAT THE **** americanthai are you on about, how about if I say ''Most Americans don't understand the real world'' that would make a whole lot more ******* sense wouldn't it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hey... guys... if you need to fight....take your fight outside please.... this was just a forum about racist tendencies from some people.... dont need to start hitting below the belt on my site here... 'beej'... if you want to be understand and you have a point, your may want to learn jai yen yen first ....and then make your point. Your language here in your comments actually make you seem rather retarded yourself... and i would hope that your are much more intelligent than that.

Link to comment

and beej.... i just checked to see your profile and i see you choose to not even show your face here... are you some sort of lurker? I also suggest that you read that AmericanThai said SOME THAIS....so your slander back to him is quite illogical and unfounded.

I am getting a bad feeling about you.... i hope i am wrong.

Cheers all :) Peace!

To be honest, no one ever asked me one of the questions you mention PeeMarc, except for question 6. But it does make me wonder which girls you add to your MSN.

You can also see it like this: at least these questions are asked instead of assumed as being true. At least you have a chance to defend yourself right?
