@Jynx @rav3n yo I’m on reddit right now and have been reading through this one post on the Cambodia subreddit, I was replying to this user’s (FYI, the user is Cambodian — born and raised in Cambodia) comment on the post. And from what I’ve seen according to the comment he wrote on that post as well as some other comments he has made on other posts too, I don’t agree with a lot of the things he has said since he mostly comes off as being quite racist and very insensitive.
It was on a reddit post where someone was asking what’s the average age for a Cambodian woman to get married? And the comment where that user himself mentioned about most Khmer parents wanting their kids to marry someone within their own culture, and I responded to his comment saying that this is 100% true as someone who is of Khmer diasporic, and then he responded with “yea, it should be normal for any Asian ethnicity tbh, most people want other people within their own culture. It even applies to pretty much any other people to.” Which I agree with by the way but at the same time I also disagree in the sense where if it’s someone that lives in a foreign country, like say if a Cambodian diasporic wants to marry a Korean diasporic, then that should as well be the norm too. Why can’t we just accept different cultures especially if it’s people that were born and raised in a foreign country especially? Why do people in their own respective homogenous countries wanna be racist and not be accepting of other races coming to or associating with another person’s culture? If that makes sense
but anyways, some or most of his comments from other posts I’ve seen are very insensitive and a lot that I disagree with as someone like myself who comes from a country that’s more progressive than his country who is still problematically conservative as hell
