It's not only Cambodia that is corrupt.. just about every country is.. the US is governed by the people of Harvard and Yale.. the European union is facing a lot of corruption.. Russia is overly corrupt.. and I am not going to get into the so called Peoples Republic of China.. just about every major news outlet.. from Reuters, to AP, CNN to Fox to BBC etc. are controlled news outlets.. always in favor of their countries ruling class.. the American electoral system does not allow any foreign monitoring.. it is rigged, and favoring the rich.. I could imagine a white skin person of a lower class, getting jealous of these rich Khmer people's rides, just due to the fact that they aren't as tall when stepping out of their car.. so one might think that they are cheating their way to wealth.. but it is pretty much the same all over the world.. rich people do everything they can to hold on to what they have acquired, by force, play or both

No. Shameless rip-offs would be a better description.SunSan wrote:Does the government really ask for aid and donations to the extent that one could describe it as 'begging'?
Andy got it right: give us money or we'll get it from someone who doesn't like you (paraphrase)

but then again.. the US is not as poverty stricken.. I am sure corruption would elevate in that case..While it is true that the American system suffers from cooperation, that corruption does not permeate to most every level as it does in Cambodia.
I wonder how American's would take any such critique from Cambodian expats moving there for the cheap girls and beer..

I've been living in Cambodia for 2 and a half years. I love Cambodian people and when people ask me why I live here I say it's because of the Khmer people. They are genuinely some of the nicest people I've ever met. There are, however, good and bad people wherever you go and Cambodia is no exception. But there does seem to be more good than bad. Yes, I've heard the Khmer bashing, but not from everybody. Yes, it can be frustrating living in any foreign country. But cambodians certainly aren't stupid. OK, Cambodians have a very different logic to many westerners, but this doesn't mean stupid.
I'm not sure I agree with your generalization, not every foreigner looks down on Khmer people. Again, there are good and bad people everywhere. Everybody is entitled their opinion whatever that may be. Even foreigners in Cambodia can be both good and bad!
