Casual racism on Khmer440
This is a watershed moment for k440.
A deep culling is called for lest the site backslide into a lazy permissive slump.....the kind of power vacuum that allows a disdainful, racist, sexist, good-ole-boys tone to permeate everything.
A coup was had, bringing Felgerkarb on board. There are but a handful left with a depth and breadth of experience and history in this country as he has and his joining the mod ranks is a huge positive. If only he'd post more and take more of a leadership role.
I'd say, buy playboy out, retire scoffer and make 440 more lean, relevant, welcoming and effective as a web resource.
Maybe cajole Lucky Lucan into a modship.
Time draws nigh........out with the old in with the new and those who resist progression and change will have their blood caked on the culling blade and can rest in irrelevant oblivion alongside the likes of playboy.

Can't say I blame him! The stench of virtue signalling, and little else of interest recently.

You only have to look at the old YouTube accounts compared to the current ones now.
2007 YouTube was way different from today. Time to move on.
Well now that's all dealt with can we move on to all other isms and ists?
I saw a couple of comedians, Franky Boyle and one I didn't know, in conversation about how impossible comedy is to do compared to even 10 years ago.
Glad I saw most of them at the Edinburgh Festival over the years and shall look forward to some belly laughs with the new permitted anodyne breed

But that's the thing. Alex is right. The new rules have stifled discussion as no-one knows what's appropriate anymore. Alexandra can wax lyrical about how everything besides prejudice is okay, and he may be correct, but no clear line has been drawn, and people are hesitant to post. You can feel the new, tepid mood on the site when you read it.RobW wrote: ↑Thu Sep 24, 2020 9:58 amWell now that's all dealt with can we move on to all other isms and ists?

Susan Boyle was a right ugly cunt. That would get me a ban on the BBC just as the (no comparison)great Jerry Sadowitz was consigned to history for making an obviously tongue in cheek gag about Nelson Mandela being a trouble causing cunt.Susan Boyle wrote: ↑Thu Sep 24, 2020 10:04 amBut that's the thing.

Anyway. Doesn't bother me. If the bar you're in starts playing Boyzone, go to a different one.
I'll still post here.
Just overheard my barang neighbor saying “fukn chinky eyes Chinese are rude. Didn’t even say hello. Miserable yellow bastards”
“When did you go to China?”
“Haven’t. It was at a Chinese restaurant in Sydney”
Haha. Dick.

@ Guest:
Well they don't export the country's best behaving lot. You either run into the rich arrogant ones or the criminal element. Living in Phnom Penh for 10 years now. A year ago some apartment building was built across the street and over time I can't count the number of police operations conducted there. Recently two in a week with warning shots fired at one occasion. All suspects Chinese as each operation had support from Chinese personnel (or the Khmers have developed amazing Chinese speaking skills).
