When you consider the media beit television, music videos or Hollywood would you say any different? As you mention when they see the tourists how would you assume them to be?

I don't think it is rascist to say that because Will Smith has dark skin he is not handsome. I know black women who say he is not handsome! Everything is based on personal taste. Ask yourself if you would be offended if someone said you were not very pretty because you are too pale.

In Thailand a big reason people assume there is racism is merely a lack of the language needed to express thoughts in a non-offensive way. Or maybe we farang just need to not take offense so easily? For a long time ugly was the only negative word my wife knew, and everything was ugly. If food tasted bad it too was ugly. Sometimes it is simply poor communication is my only point.
