Does this go on in Cambodia?
When I lived in India I was never paid to be white, but I was invited to many an event by my "social betters" so that they could parade "their" farang.

I've never heard of anything as blatant as described there. Caucasians are ten a penny round these parts now anyway.connecticuter wrote:http://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/arc ... -guy/8119/

Romantic Cambodia is dead and gone. It's with McKinley in the grave.

That's too bad, being white is one of my most remarkable skills.

Definitely happens in other countries, but never seen/of that here. I think I see more white people in pp than Cambodians...

Yeah, wedding invites are the biggest "token white person" event ever. I won't go anymore unless I know the people very well or have nothing else to do. To be fair they'll also invite just about any khmer (he's the friend of a friend of a friend of a friend of the neighbours type of deal).
Don't you just love being invited to weddings and having to dance round in a circle for hours on end because eveyone wants to see the Barang dance, all be it really badly.

I hate that stare at the token whitey shit.
Back to the OP - it's pretty common in China; in Cambodia I would say, not at all.

I don't want to offend anybody, but aren't there some bad English teachers here whose primary skill is being white?
