Thank goodness PC language has not caught up to Thailand. It is out of control in the West. It gets so one has difficulty understanding what someone is actually saying anymore. In America, nobody is mentally retarded; they are just developmentally delayed. However, one is not "delayed" if one is never going to get there. Nobody is black; they are African-American. However, this term does not work for actual Africans or Caribbean Islanders, etc. In Thailand I am farang, which is reserved for white foreigners. I don't mind it at all. I often wear a t-shirt that says farang written in Thai, just as a joke. Lighten up and enjoy the ride.
