Why do Cambodians seem to hate westerners so much ?
Why do Cambodians seem to hate westerners so much ?
I have been living in Cambodia on and off for a few years now and it seems to me that most of the locals here really hate westerners. What do you think makes them hate us? All I can think of is that they may be jealous, but it does seem a bit odd seeing as a lot seem to have more money than we could ever earn in the west. How many people do you know back home with 200,000 dollar cars?
It can't be because of the whoring, as most Cambodian men (and some women) use whores. I could run through a whole list of things that it maybe but it doesn't answer the question to my mind , so what do you think?

You have to be specific about cases where Cambodians really "hate" Westerners.
Sometimes it's specific behaviors they abhorr, which may be frown upon in other cultures too.

Yes,I cnsideredthat it could be me and a few others I've met here over the years. What is your experience? Have you lived here long?Prahok wrote:Not my experience.
Can you give any examples? I mean where am I going wrong?Joon wrote:You have to be specific about cases where Cambodians really "hate" Westerners.

You're going to have to give us examples of why you think they hate westerners. As mentioned, it could be a reaction to a behaviour. Also, Cambodia is a country full of individuals and like anywhere else, some of them are racist and some are just dicks.

Are. You. Fucking. Kidding?
Despite my drunken racist rants against them.
. Khmer people are THE nicest strangers you will ever encounter. Some of the shit I pulled here would have gotten me killed by the locals anywhere else..... Including the states. To me, because of the Khmer people, Cambodia is a last haven for personal freedom.
Anyone who doesn't like Capitalism is a pathetic loser. God bless the USA and no place else.
In general, disrespectful, arrogant, insulting, exploitative behaviors and attitudes would not go down well with Cambodians or anybody else, I would assume.Abou-Gor wrote:Can you give any examples?

What specific reactions did you get from Cambodians and to what actions? Sometimes Cambodians are just assholes and asshats too.
Because of the deathpats, sexpats, drunkpats, methpats, paedopats, pattayapats and TEEFLerpats.
Too many of those types dragging the rest of us down. I do not feel the hate is as strong as the Thai hate for foreigners, but I fear it will head that direction.
One example I recall is the guy in Katie Pizza that was admonished for being a foreigner, and the blue hair smurf lady (brannnd) getting involved in that incident in some capacity.

Khmers do not hate foreginers. Yet.
I also would not say that a lot of them have more money than we could ever earn in the West. Very few do. Those that do often didn't earn the money through hard work and savings and they buy $200,000 cars to show off. Millionaires in America rarely do that, because they are smart, confident, have good social skills and are fiscally wise, which is how they became millionaires in the first place. Rappers and NBA players excepted.

We addressed a similar topic in a prior thread in 2014. I offered this analogy:
gavinmac wrote:Imagine if the UK went through a civil war and was thrown into total poverty. The UK becomes a third world country (all of it, not just Heathrow Terminal 4). The infrastructure decays, people are starving.
Then some Japanese guys figure out that because everyone in the UK is so poor, they can fly to London on holiday and get drunk every night and pay for sex with English women for a relative pittance. So sex-crazed Japanese dudes just start showing up and throwing money around on booze and English hookers. Oxford Street and every other major street in central London fills up with rows of hooker bars to meet the demand from the sex-crazed Japanese tourists being serviced by impoverished English women. Even many regular English women soon become interested in dating only Japanese men, because English guys are too poor to support them.
Meanwhile, the only way that many English guys can make any money at all is by driving the rich drunk Japanese sex tourists around on motorbikes. Some of the Japanese dudes are total pricks and lowlifes and look down on the English dudes with contempt and say rude shit to them in Japanese, which the English dudes have had to learn to speak in order to support themselves.
Do you think the working-class London motobike drivers would all be cheery rays of sunshine every time they encountered a rich, drunk Japanese tourist walking down the street with his hand on the ass of a scantily clad English girl? Do you think it would be all "Good evening, Gov'nor, where can I take you this evening?"
No. The drunk Japanese dudes would routinely get robbed and have their heads kicked in by local English thugs every single night. Sometimes twice a night.
My point is this. Khmer males, including, and especially, tuk tuk drivers and motodops, are remarkably tolerant of foreign dudes in Cambodia, all things considered, the occasional hiss and spit notwithstanding.

The analogy above sort of makes sense.
But the western class system has also been massively disrupted by mass social advancement in the last century.
Here, and in Thailand in particular, they're even more Victorian than the Victorians.
Also, they hate Chinese tourists too.
Finally, two words. Pol Pot.
If that's Khmer on Khmer just be grateful the worst you encounter is the occasional verbal abuse.

It's probably ingrained deeb in the human genetic compound to be cautious about foreigners in general, or perhaps over population would be even more of a problem today. Thanks to financial status it was easy for me to find interested women here despite difference in age. I've had internal conflicts due to that issue, and my reputation back home has taken a hit from being with a native here. But weighed against the joys of feeling young again, I was able to handle the public abuse associated with this. Being on the other side of the fence before, I can see how hypocrisy is part of the game when you see Western males pretend to be appalled, yet surely they have a fantasy hidden somewhere deeb in their minds, of leaving the overly PC West and finding love with a younger browner less stuck up female out here in the boonies.How would I feel if older richer Chinese men started dating younger blondes back in my homecountry? Well, I'd be pissed off as well of course, and I would find joy in ripping these people off in any way possible under the guise of them providing me with their goodhearted charity.
