Why Do So Many Lao Claim To Be Mixed Thai??? Options

[thewiseguy]

I know alot of Lao people in my area claim to be mixed Thai and I find it strange that these Lao people are usually the ones that are big fans of Thai media and entertainment. I was at a Lao house party awhile ago and all they talked about was Thailand, Thai movies and Thai music. Alot of them showed animosity to Thailand and some even said they were mixed Thai so they can't hate the Thais like that. This isn't the first time I hear about Lao people's obsession with Thailand. Prior to that I know a Lao girl who is my homeboy's sister and if u see her room all you see is Thai celebrities hanging up her walls as posters, all she listens to is Thai pop music. Matter of fact her whole family listens to Thai songs. "I asked her why would you listen to Thai songs rather than Lao?" You know what she replied? She said "Because I can understand them and I am mixed Thai plus Lao music isn't as good and they don't make that much music." It's funny she said she was mixed Thai because her brother is one of my close friends and we had a conversation prior to that and he is one of those Anti-Thai Lao people like Savan he hates the Thais to the fullest. His family is so Lao I bet the only place they've step foot in Thailand was the refugee camps. It's funny that the sister claimed to be half-Thai and her brothers dispies Thai.


Don't get me wrong I watch some Thai movies (with subtitles) but I never say to people I am mixed Thai. Btw it was one of my Lao friend who got me into it.

I find it funny alot of Lao like to bash Thais but these are the same Lao people that rather listen to Thai music and open up Thai resturants than their own Lao resturant

Are they embarrassed to be Lao?

Unfortunately I have to agree that Americanised Asians are sooooooo annoying.

American culture is unrefined to say the least and it shows quite well on those who are born or raised in that culture. No manners is one big problem I have with them the other would have to be the same problem most people around the world have with them. Their lack of knowledge about the rest of the world.

They only know about american ideals and beliefs and try to implement that on Asian culture customs and anything else they try to assimilate into their Ameritardness without knowing true facts behind it.

This can be clearly seen by members of AF who have no links with their Asian counterparts regarding any of the subjects that they try so hard to be a part of. It could be that subconciously they are trying to find out the truth about themselves but they are too stubborn/stupid to ask people rather than just making lots of noise and spreading false claims untill someone corrects them. I think this is the "crying out for help" situation that most kids go through.

Other members like Buddhalove doesn't have a clue about anything apart from focusing on the same 3 things that he must have learned from the internet. It gets old, everyone knows abot it already. Majority of garlee in Thailand are Laos. Srirasimi looks better than Laos queen (if there was ever such a thing still in existance in which case we will match her up with Buddhaloves mum instead which saddly falls into the first category. Bitter about his mums profession so he projects onto the Thai people lol). The jeks ar the ones keeping Laos alive with trade and tourist money. without Thai jeks Laos will not exist. Without Thailand, Laos people will all starve to death under crappy communist regime.

These are the facts dear people. Deal with it.

You mean British are more asian than american?

No not more Asian. But we are different in behaviour and ways of thinking. I think its easier to class us as in a similar light to Hi-So Thai as the majority of Thai people any of us ever come across to influence us are Hi-So.

Even working class people are associated with Hi-So's in Thailand. Thats not to say that there arent people who are tid din. Though I think the biggest difference is that we know more about our own culture and background than americans do. There is not much need for us or british people to segregate racial groups. London is a BIG multicultural society, so people had no need to be different to fit in.

In american culture you have to "act like a" to be that thing. In English culture, they will put up with you whatever you are, just as long as you aren't disturbing the status quo.
