Doubtful that it's really special to be white in Cambodia anymore. Westerners are everywhere in Cambodia, especially Phnom Penh and Siem Reap. A lot of them are expats and not just tourists. So apart from Cambodian weddings where westerners would be in the minority (unless it's a case of a Cambodian marrying a westerner), there is nothing special about being white in Cambodia, nobody cares anymore - maybe they did 20 years ago, but times have changed considerably; same thing everywhere else in South-East Asia.
According to the articles about "renting a white guy" in China thingy, well, westerners (and foreigners in general) are very rare in China. It's extremely rare to see a westerner in rural China or any non-descript city anywhere in China for that matter. Case in point: hundreds of westerners descend on Lao Cai, Vietnam directly across from Hekou, China every morning and evening on their way to/from Hanoi and Sapa. None of them ever cross to China, despite Lao Cai being a legal international crossing point into China. If you do cross, like I have, once in Hekou, many of the locals will stare, point and giggle at your presence, which just feels bizarre in this day and age. Also, did those local people descend from the moon or something? Just 1km away in Vietnam, they could see hundreds of foreigners daily! In Lao Cai, everyone working in the tourist industry speaks English and is used to the presence of foreigners. Vietnam just seems so much more civilized than China. Ditto for Cambodia.

I never got stared at in Hekou. In fact I don't remember being stared at more in China or anywhere else except maybe India and Afghanistan.

Well I gotta admit that even China is changing fast and the staring is starting to disappear (compared with only a couple of years ago) at least in the cities, but I do recall always being the only foreigner in Hekou, except when I went with my Norwegian friend and I have been to Hekou 4 times.
Having said that, foreigners are still treated as much more of a curiosity in Kunming than in Phnom Penh; unless you have blinkers on you'll probably notice that.

@Sunsan, did I read correctly that you've been to Afghanistan?!! Were you in the military, because I don't think that's something the Afghans wouldn't be used to seeing. If you were a tourist or working there, thank god you made it out alive!
