You focus on the setup to miss the humor in the joke.
Too bad your sense of humor seems to have atrophied as of late.
I hope it’s a temporary condition my friend.

I occasionally have to couch what I say in very clear terms, several people have persistently needed basic words explained in the past.
But perhaps I should just post it and let them do the dictionary/thesaurus/sarcasm detection themselves, you are right.

Khmers don't hate the French for their colonial legacy or the Americans for their bombing campaigns. My question was why Vietnam is more hated than everyone else, which LTO and jm explained with good points.AiA wrote:In my classes today I was exploring with the students how the Japanese don't hate the Americans for Hiroshima, the Germans and the Brits get on fine, after over eight centuries of warfare the Brits and French are good - the past is the past, old enemies become friends.

I read that there was a lot of anti-Japanese sentiment in the 80s when Americans feared the success of Japan's economy would overshadow theirs. I think China is in the same situation today.

my apologies.
“A” is for asshole in this case and it is
I who missed the forest for the trees.
Reminds me of when Chrysler plant superintendent Ronald Ebens and his stepson Michael Nitz beat Vincent Chin to death with a baseball bat in Detroit back in 1982. Nitz was layed off in 1979 when the Japanese automakers were making huge gains in market shares. It was Chin’s bachelor party and according to court documents, the last words Chin heard were: “"It's because of you little motherfuckers that we're out of work!"ali baba wrote:I read that there was a lot of anti-Japanese sentiment in the 80s when Americans feared the success of Japan's economy would overshadow theirs.

Akira may have been a little young to have remembered that incident. I don’t know...just brought that tragedy to mind.
I am Okinawan actually although I don't speak Okinawan much, nor have I ever lived there. I don't know about anti Americanism hence, although it wouldn't surprise me.ali baba wrote: Do you have family in Okinawa? I imagine there's some anti-Americanism there due to the military base.
I wasn't alive for the Vincent Chin incident (I'm born 86'), but I read about it a bit.
@ricecakes. , I can't remember the last time I yell at anything, but I have felt that way inside before. Funny you mention the video, my neighbor keeps letting their customers park in front of my house and I can't get my car out or in. Happened at least 15-20 times already and my wife is ready to blow a gasket. I might have to go "Gary" on them soon if they don't change.

And...sister in law has now had her ID confiscated by local police, along with a lot of other Vietnamese in her area. Fucking hell...

Sorry to hear about that, A.
Did they confiscate her Cambodian or Vietnamese national ID card?

^^Her Cambodian ID, when she was going to get her "paper" version updated to the new "computer?" version. She actually no longer has Vietnamese passport or ID.

Were the IDs legitimately acquired when first issued?AE86 wrote:And...sister in law has now had her ID confiscated by local police, along with a lot of other Vietnamese in her area. Fucking hell...
I ask because I think there may be a trend beyond the harassment of ethnic Vietnamese. A lots of dodgy old deals are being called back it.
^^ I don't know what constitutes legitimate obtaining of IDs vs. not, meaning it seems that pretty much anyone can walk in with cash and purchase one (ask the Chinese), but as for it being an "official" recalling of under the table IDs, I doubt it but could be wrong. Reason being, the police told her she needs to restart the application process for the ID, which of course costs more money. Just local extortion in my opinion, follow the money.

'Legitimate' means acquired in accordance with the law as it is written in the legal code without having paid tea money to cut corners, ignore exclusions, avoid inconvenient steps or work with unauthorized officials, (excluding tea money paid to simply get authorities to do their job and issued legal and properly authorized documents/services.) They know the difference. The holder really should too because it can (and apparently will) come back to haunt them.AE86 wrote:^^ I don't know what constitutes legitimate obtaining of IDs vs. not, meaning it seems that pretty much anyone can walk in with cash and purchase one (ask the Chinese), but as for it being an "official" recalling of under the table IDs, I doubt it but could be wrong.

What's happening to your people could just be more extortion of a vulnerable ethnic group, or the government throwing out all the corruptly acquired old IDs and trying to set people on the path of getting real ones (in so far as they are entitled to it), or a mix of both.
I have seen and used to track many of the various dodgy dealings the 'illegal' Vietnamese (mostly post-79 immigrants, not including returnees that lived here before the war) and local officials have engaged in to allow the 'illegals' to stay to this point. There is a lot of bad paper of various sorts out there, and the authorities know what's real and what's not.
I predict a lot of old cutcorner deals regarding IDs, taxes, land, licenses, etc, evaporating in the next couple of years, leaving a lot of people in the lurch. It's no longer business as usual.
Different sister in law than the OP, my wife's younger sister who is married to a Khmer man. They live in a different area too. The "OP brother in law" is fine and has no problems as of now.andyinasia wrote:Really sorry to hear all this A. What's the current situation with your bro-in-law? Is this sis-in-law his wife?
Re: LTO, thank you for the reply, makes sense to me.
I'm curious, what about those born in Cambodia who can not speak Khmer or even bothered to get papers/knew of papers existence, such as those were born in Ratanakiri for example. And how would those know who is who? Would they be subject to some kind of retribution if their papers were obtained in an "illegal" way but didn't know any better? I'm just curious.
