FF. No offense, but I didn't know many of you were Asian. The only one who I knew was Asian for sure was Xahar.

Patel's name would imply that, wouldn't it?

Good folk.

By the way, isn't another excellent poster, Sensei, also Asian? That at least was my impression.

Don't pay attention to Patel for some reason.

Sbane, Xahar and Boris are some of my favorite posters.  Phknrocket is someone I really like personally but disagree with.

I did pick up a modest buzz that Indians are not all that loved in Thailand. The wrap on them is that they are too pushy, clannish and aggressive. An Indian restaurant owner also commented on that.  There does not seem to be any problem with the Chinese however, and I asked about that as well. I am kind of a nosy guy. Smiley

Yeah its funny because the Chinese are easily as bad as the Indians in reality, but Thais tend to look up to them.  White skin I guess.

Ya, the Thais seem partial to white skin, you lucky chap you. Tongue  Well, I benefited too, for my all too short stay.  Smiley

Never had a problem with South Asian BO in the states. London, on the other hand... Almost passed out at Heathrow because of this one Indian guy. Guess they're a little more authentic over there.

Back in '08, before Slumdog Millionaire became the feel good hit of the year, the theater auditoriums we had showing it tended to smell a little ripe. Just saying.
