[this isn't an apology, but sane observation]


Often, we absorb featureless codes of social conduct within the reaches of Thai culture and artful expression of slighted xenophobia within. A staple of subject matter within Thai expat forums, less personalinteractives..

Does this truly exist amongst the population or a fabricated tale from outside observations creating a sociological condition wherein reflecting the nature of the accuser.

I dare to say that those whom explore these superlative ideals of an inferior/superior place them as defence mechanisms to justify their own existence of false superiority - passsed over as one dream or another.

Witness to real Thai society for 40+ years and exposure regarding every imaginable social situation, one would be hard-pressed to see a Thai social infrastructure to be attached to today's conduits of xenophobic attitudes - true, such mind sets might exist within the hardened shell of an elite class circle [historically this is true], but hardly exist amongst the fair population of 64 million....as individuals as a collective.

Lingustic definitives might apply in these selected cases. WTF is xenophobia, as a stated "Western" ideal? Are we quicker, historically, to see others [especially non-western civilisations] bent this way before we might find it in ourselves?

Personally, I'm of the notion that those camps that promote false accusations towards a culture at large don't have a sense of themselves, less truly experiencing the nature of societal movement around them - translated: if you always consider yurself a stranger/foreigner amongst a worthy population, you will always be seen and treated as one.....

Inventing malice and manufacturing sociological whimsy is the truer heart of vacant knowledge.

A strong matrilineal culture needs not to defend itself from Euro-charalatans and ignorantstudies, but only to extend that genuine [or sometimes not] smile in that direction.

Always a white man's burden, innit?
