Why do Cambodians seem to hate westerners so much ?
The best way to get Khmers to like you is to dance. And sing. When I pull out my MC Hammer cant touch this routine I am always knee deep in clunge. No ifs or buts. Works every time. Don't get all intellectual and start talking about Nietzsche or some shit, they like basic stuff.

The idea of Cambodians hating foreigners is nonsense. I find people courteous and polite and fun loving. Be respectful and smile and polite and you will receive the same in return.
I've experienced some real hate in the TOURIST AREAS of SR and especially PP Riverside - lying scamming tuk-tuks, bargirls, incredibly rude waitresses, hotel staff and masseuses, but then that's to be expected. Of course their mood is going to be soured by constantly watching entitled foreigners come here and spend more in one day then they make in a month.
As for my daily experiences with Khmers at the store, gym, residential areas etc. I have almost always found them to be great people - polite, humorous, and often curious about me.

Stop press. I just found out most of my neighbours are Chinese.

I doubt that Cambodians hate ANY westerners rather they hate the ones that disrespect the culture by doing things like walking around the city half naked. However, all my experiences with Cambodians have been positive - perhaps its just the difference in culture that make them come off as rude?
If you are a foreigner living here for more than say five years and don't get that we are about as welcome here as the nazi's were in Paris in the 1940's you are completely delusional....

Yes, it is very odd that LTO is still ranked as a tourist after all these years. It must be a term of endearment.robshep wrote:If you are a foreigner living here for more than say five years and don't get that we are about as welcome here as the nazi's were in Paris in the 1940's you are completely delusional....
Hmm. There are certainly foreigners that are unwelcome. Can't argue with that. From my observations, can't blame those who make them feel unwelcome either.robshep wrote:If you are a foreigner living here for more than say five years and don't get that we are about as welcome here as the nazi's were in Paris in the 1940's you are completely delusional....
