It is *exactly* the same as say a taxi driver refusing to pick up a Muslim guy because he associates that race/religion with say the Manchester bombing. It is racial stereotyping of the very worst and most bigoted kind.
Decent and intelligent people judge others on their individual behaviour, not on racial or geographical stereotyping. Honestly you are no better than the Daily Mail/Express or EDL on this. Really disgraceful behaviour.
OK Tony. You are entitled to your opinion. FWIW it's normal in Thailand. They aren't as hung up on "racial stereotyping" as we are. There are Khun Thai and there are Farang. Two races.
I don't think of it in that way obviously but you tell me. How do you protest against what America and Israel are doing?
You see the problem for me is that most of them, having been there on many occasions, simply are not exposed to just how unpopular they are. Neither are they aware of the misery and mayhem their nation causes across the land. If you hold up a banner in Trafalgar Square, ninety percent of Americans will be oblivious to the fact.
Just as their nation considers it acceptable to attack the UN for doing its job, many Americans will think that is acceptable.
So how do you protest? How do you get your voice heard over there? How do you persuade Trump voters that they are causing misery and death? What did you do about the anti Apartheid movement and its boycott of South African product? How did you feel about many people around the world refusing to interact with White South Africans.
When you answer those questions honestly (and I hope you will to enlighten me), then we can discuss whether treating citizens of a racist state that threatens world peace with disdain and hostility is unwarranted.
As I said before, I have come to the conclusion that the only way to get through to most Americans is to let them feel as they make others feel and see how they like it. Those with a brain might try to engage and to apologise for the actions of their government in which case we will have an interesting conversation. Those that don't, or insist on America first, are deserving of the abuse they will then get. They are also left in no doubt as to why this is the case.
Those yesterday were told that, as decent human beings, we cannot condone in anyway the racist, fascist behaviour of the US administration and that they were the victims of it as now they might appreciate a little of how the world feels about their government.
FWIW, they have started a war by making the unilateral Jerusalem declaration. You cannot surely let that pass?
Hopefully the message will get back to their friends in the States. I am now openly hostile to Americans I'm afraid.
