    I would say more so. To the point of virtual economic slavery.

    A few hundred Chinese/Thai families exploiting the traditional indigenous inhabitants, especially the Lao/Thais who are the most recent addition to the family of Thai citizenship.
    And the saddest thing is that the whole population generally accepts it, as current generations have never known anything different.

    Times are a changing though, and such is the reason for the political unrest we are starting to see of late.

    Yes, it's appalling the way those Chinks treat the clades of Y-Haplogroup O.

    They are racist to the extent that so many of them think that face and image are the most important things in life, which includes thinking that the world revolves around you and that others are below you whenever possible, especially foreigners.

    This is balanced by humbleness, not in order to make the world a nicer place, but in order to earn karma points and reach nirvana more quickly (i.e. self-centred niceness).

    You got to love the way people make racist comments and remarks about Thais being racists (yep all the same aren't they..), all the while trying to make out how uncivilized they are and how great they themselves are.


    Actually, sorry, you are partly right. Thailand does have a lot of racists, except, most of the ones I have come across have been farangs.

    Glad you asked Here ya go, remixed from several Wiki articles. I would hope all those posters with strong feelings about race and indigenous groups would be familiar with these ideas, otherwise just what are they basing their opinions on?

    A clade is a term used in modern alpha taxonomy, the scientific classification of living and fossil organisms, to describe a monophyletic group, defined as a group consisting of a single common ancestor and all its descendants.

    In the study of molecular evolution, a haplogroup (from the Greek: ἁπλοῦς, haploûs, "onefold, single, simple") is a group of similar haplotypes that share a common ancestor with a single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) mutation. Because a haplogroup consists of similar haplotypes, this is what makes it possible to predict a haplogroup from haplotypes. An SNP test confirms a haplogroup. Haplogroups are assigned letters of the alphabet, and refinements consist of additional number and letter combinations, for example R1b1. Y-chromosome and mitochondrial DNA haplogroups have different haplogroup designations. Haplogroups pertain to deep ancestral origins dating back thousands of years.

    The term haplotype is a contraction of the term 'haploid genotype'. In genetics, a haplotype (from the Greek: ἁπλοῦς, haploûs, "onefold, single, simple") is a combination of alleles at multiple loci that are transmitted together on the same chromosome. Haplotype may refer to as few as two loci or to an entire chromosome depending on the number of recombination events that have occurred between a given set of loci.

    In human genetics, the haplogroups most commonly studied are Y-chromosome (Y-DNA) haplogroups and mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) haplogroups, both of which can be used to define genetic populations. Y-DNA is passed solely along the patrilineal line, from father to son, while mtDNA is passed down the matrilineal line, from mother to daughter. Neither recombines, and thus Y-DNA and mtDNA change only by chance mutation at each generation with no intermixture between parents' genetic material.

    The Y Chromosome Consortium has established a system of defining Y-DNA haplogroups by letters A through to T, with further subdivisions using numbers and lower case letters.

    Y-chromosomal Adam is the name given by researchers to a theoretical male who is the most recent common patrilineal (male-lineage) ancestor of all living humans. Estimations of the date of this common ancestor have varied significantly in different studies.

    In human genetics, Haplogroup O (M175) is a Y-chromosome DNA haplogroup. Haplogroup O is a close cladistic brother group with Haplogroup N, and is one of several descendants of Haplogroup K (the intermediates being Haplogroup NOP and Haplogroup NO).

    This haplogroup appears in 80-90% of all men in East and Southeast Asia, and it is almost exclusive to that region: M175 is almost nonexistent in Western Siberia, Western Asia, Europe, and Africa and is completely absent from the Americas, although certain subclades of Haplogroup O do achieve significant frequencies among some populations of South Asia, Central Asia, and Oceania.

    From my experience I do not think the indigenous Thais are at all rascist against us farangs in fact they normally are subservient and obliging to the point of it being embarrasing.

    We all know who are behind all these 2 tier pricing systems, newer and tougher immigration and land ownership laws amongst other things that have pissed off us long termers here in Thailand.

    And its not the indigenous Thai land/ farm owners here that actually want to sell their land for 5 million Baht a Rai to farangs when the others only want to pay 300,000.00 Baht and have created laws so as to make sure they pay exactly that figure (300K).

    We are all racist to one degree or another, but too many want to be politically correct and refuse to admit it. I worked all of my adult life in the Atlanta, GA
    area around a lot of blacks. I had a reputation being a racist with my black co-workers, but I still got a long with most of them. I have been told on more than one occasion, at least when I talk to you, I know where you are comming from. Just be honest with all and let the chips fall where they may.

    No actually I have been living in Thailand for 3 years,before moving to Thailand I had been visiting for ten years. I am sure we have different views on what racists is. BTW if you only have rude comments why don't you stay out of it. I was asking for specifics of racisim in Thailand.

    I don't think that's true. I've heard it said many times but always by racists. It's just a pat excuse used by racists to justify their racism.

    Only if we make the hateful posts or think hateful posts are infectious. I don't really think most of the people who make "hateful" posts here about Thais are really racist towards Thais (there are plenty of genuinely racist posts about blacks, middle-easterners, and jews, mind you), they're just irritated and annoyed and letting off steam.

    I do get the impression that most of the farangs who consistently complain about being hated by Thais do deserve to be hated, though.

    DrBob, i tried to fathom out your explanation in post #39. When i scrolled down to the map, i got confused. The map is so very wrong. Even i know America should be on the left, Europe in the middle and Australia down in the bottom right.

    Its maybe their station in life, I'm afraid.

    "Do unto others,...."etc. Bit trite, but nonetheless true.

    I dont think farangs are hated by Thais at all. Regarded as inferior, yes. But hated No. Maybe a few baht bus drivers excepted there.
