I remember in the blog era of the internet, a Black guy was talking about his experiences traveling while Black in Asia.
He mentioned going to a bar in a rural village in China, and almost immediately after he sat down a woman started rubbing his arm asking “Does it come off?”.
That was the moment I pretty much said fuck Asia.![]()
Nah, don't let stupid shit like this about China put you off of Thailand.Guess I’ll leave my living abroad in Thailand and China in the drafts
Bet thanks kingNah, don't let stupid shit like this about China put you off of Thailand.
Sometimes people don't really understand how unique a country the US is. There are VERY few countries that were formed by immigrants, openly welcomed immigrants and have a million different cultures woven into one to create a separate culture. China is the EXACT opposite. It's a monolith. ALL chinese people are ethnically asian and mostly ethnically chinese. And the government controls the media and access to the internet.I remember in the blog era of the internet, a Black guy was talking about his experiences traveling while Black in Asia.

Stuff like that is just ignorance. You're going to encounter it when you travel places where people have never seen anyone like you in person. It might be annoying, but I didn't think that should keep anyone away from traveling somewhere. The blatant racism where they know exactly what they are doing is another story.
