It is noticeable, however, that the slightest scepticism and joshing on our part results in an immediate disproportionate retaliation, demonstrating paranoia and inability to cope with the tiniest amount of pressure - just like Jessy in her thread.
Apart from her one outburst, I feel that Jessy101 takes a lot of our shit on the chin, much like DetroitMuscle.
She had many many 'little' outbursts before the big meltdown. But let's not turn this thread into one about her. A common denominator is that both initially posted expecting us whiteys to buy their crap -
no questions asked - which is what they'd expect flogging stuff to Khmers, and when we do require further information they can't handle it. To that extent maybe there is a
racialist dimension, to do with education not genetics, and I don't see why we should hold back on that. After all, if Cambodia is poised to join the ASEAN integrated market, Cambodians do belatedly need to learn how to sell to foreigners like the Chinese and Vietnamese do.
