Cambodian is not racist people. We welcome all people around the world. Black or white is not a matter here; we have Cambodian with different faces and skin colors.
Racism occurs in everywhere, but I’m Cambodian among another here living without negative judge to other people! ☺️ Hope you enjoy here and ignore negative mindset people! 🙏🏻☺️
Cambodian society teaches the youngs to be very respectful to strangers, elders, and family and to avoid conflicts at all cost. That said, there are the few exceptions so we'll ignore those. When it comes to racism, it doesn't come up. What you will experience might be class difference. Some rich people can be very pompus and will judge you on your looks.
Live and learn khmer language big credit for you, bros No racist in Cambodia talk to them and respect But maybe just a little joke for them and in their language in a way But not for real. They are doing everything to accommodate the local and the tourists. But remember, Cambodia country genocide has just finished 40 years ago They're not looking for that ever again, and so much to develop in Cambodia. Peace out .
almost got beaten once, because I learnt the N word from the internet. Thought it was normal to call people with black skin in Europe🤣 , so I used it. Anyway, they were nice and told me the real meaning behind that word.
This was beautiful. I respect his acknowledgment of the peoples ignorance. The country came back alive from year zero most Cambodians that survived didn’t have the opportunity to acquire education. We need more people like him in this world. ❤✌️
Having lived in Thailand for many years I can testify that the racism there is very real. Against all forigners. As a white.. i am more of a 'novelty' racism exists but mostly not a hinderance to life. The racism I saw against Indians, khmers, Burmese was shocking. These ppl were suitable in the country as 'servants' or labor and anything else was against the kingdom. The racism against Africans (black) was even worse. Not to their face of course but at all other levels. Including simply serving me before serving them in a shop and i have asked..."hes next not me"... they continue to serve me.. or show real contempt at being pulled up on it. Cambodians 'seem' a lot less fake... but I havent lived there to know. So i enjoy getting this videos take on it.
Why Khmer choose to work or visit Thailand given the history is on them when they’re treated like second class citizens. And how often are you seeing discrimination against blacks in Thailand? Because I’ve seen a lot of videos by African Americans saying the complete opposite, of feeling safer and treated better in Thailand than they do in the USA.
Khmer have family in Thailand becuase believe it or not we didnt leave when the land was administrated from the Khmer Kingdom to the Siamese. You wouldnt be able to tell us apart anyways because we speak both languages fluently. @@d.c.3534

Thank you for talking good about Cambodia. Cambodian are with friendly behavior and welcome all people from the globe. We are not racist but we are helpful and kindness. Anyway, welcome to Cambodia 😊
Before the war, there were men living with men, women living with women relationship. We all know they were couples, but we only joke with them and they were left to live life the way they wanted. We all live and joke together and never harm anyone to the point of discrimination or racism.
I think I saw Sam Junior in China Mac tv channel but I’m not sure any way Cambodain people that is living in Cambodia they are not racism and they never ever used that word racism in Cambodia.if you see somebody looking at you it’s only meant you are foreign that’s it
nahh trust me, mostly old bodians they still have that narrow mindset, they call black people " អាខ្មៅ " or fat people " អាម៉ាប់ " it doesn't meant in a bad way, they still treat like everybody else, they don't call that for discrimination or hatred, it just sort of reaction in a funny way, it meant no harm. the new generation are more mindful and open to different world, right now is the best to time to visit cambodia.
Black, white and yellow are natural skin, all colors skinny was human being, human being is human being it’s should not change or created another racism issue. All human have heart to do wholesome or unwholesome it was natural behaviors only human being.
In Cambodia if your skin dark no matter you are from Africa or Khmer people, if your skin dark not the black , they are just making joke to said ( A Khmao) mean Black, so many of my friends call me A khmao ( A black ) because my Cambodian blood skin is dark, so some of our people never understand or heard the word Racism ( Discrimination), like me, I just realized this word and very serious in United State I can’t even said and scary to said the word ( black ), Please do not take so serious to Cambodian people who living in Cambodia to say the word BLACK, they just joke and always say black with laughing ( Khmer people culture is teach us to smile laughing a lots), soon as I come to living in United state everything culture are different, you not really can smile or laughing anytime in United States.
The N-word in Cambodia doesn't really carry the same weight as it is in the US or anywhere else. Just like u said, it is basically ignorance, most Cambodians think that the N-word just basically means black people. Also, it's not really much of discrimination but rather more of a curiosity. No surprise that there aren't many black people in Cambodia, so yeah haha
honestly cambodians needs to move to africa haha. africa is rich in resources and the economies are growing fast. the people are traditional and conservative like khmers too. countries like rwanda and tanzania have a great future
Why would you want Cambodians to go to Africa? Cambodians only left their country because of war. Before that they prefer to live in their exclusive kingdom. Cambodians are migratory people like Jews, blacks, Turkish, Mongolians, Thais and Vietnamese.
@@cambodianpleasuresquad1753 If you’re attracted to black sub-Saharan African women then good for you but I have my own internalized standards of beauty since I was a kid, which is gentle-handed, gentle-footed, soft-spoken, naturally long straight to wavy hair, slim body-built, light to golden yellow or olive-skinned tone-basically tropical Southeast Asian to Mediterranean look from feudal noble caste and blood from ancient kingdoms of the old world that date back to antiquity. But besides internalized beauty standards, it’s also about shared interest and shared culture. That is why Prince Eric (royal caste) gets with Ariel (Aryan caste) mermaid.
@EvanChorm-le6tn how could a prophet, God King on earth such as yourself be limited by the beauty standards u have?😂 I love women of all races and colors and african women are very well endowed. They are soft and feminine with a very sweet personality. If you're one of those asians who prefer white women, I hate to break it to u. They don't like Asian men. In fact, they're outright racist towards asian men. Considering us too short and not masculine enough. I haven't encountered any racism from Black women, honestly. They've showed interest in asian men more than white women and Latinas have. You would think Black women would be equally racist towards asian men as white women have been due to black women are used to dating their own black men who are on average more masculine and taller than asian men. The fact is Black women do not fetishize or discriminate men of other races the way white, latina and asian women do. White women are known to fetishize black men and Latinas do too but to a lesser extent. Asian women are known to fetishize white men and they're gradually switching over to fetishizing black men due to the trend of hip-hop and social media.
Im so sorry you have to deal with some ignorant people in cambodia. Wow, amazing how you can speak khmer. There will always be dumb people out there who say dumb things and hope you won't let them bring your great spirit down. Im glad you enjoy and like the culture in 🇰🇭.
Well all true original kingdoms are fortified, moated and guarded like a gated community. They sure weren’t inclusive. What do you expect? That’s why a garden (which is a man-made place where botanicals and florals are divided and segregated creating a serene place in contrast to the untamed, diverse, overcrowded wilderness) is used as a metaphor to represent the very first civilized kingdom on Earth. Any human who preach equality and inclusion and ready to accuse others of racism and xenophobia are most likely descendants of invasive wild tribal nomadic pagans who superstitiously worship the wind, not a human God-King who created human laws of right and wrong.
Why are you so quick to talk down to Cambodians? Did you not hear him say that after explaining the term was offensive that the Khmer friend felt bad? If you're about elevating other nationalities and putting down Cambodians, I hope you look to move out of Cambodia. Cambodia and Khmer people can't afford to suffer another regime where people who don't have their best interest are looking to tear it apart.
@@d.c.3534 Well black people tend to begin their race ideology everywhere they go because it’s their way of being accepted. It’s pretty sneaky if you ask me. Reminds me of the wicked stepmother witch faking a heart attack in the Disney film Snow White just to be welcomed in.
@d.c.3534 Before you bring on your 2 cent, I'm khmer myself, so pipe down, dude. Nobody is talking down anyboy. People are so fast to get offended and soft by any shit these days. You telling me that there aren't ignorant , racist, evil khmer people in the kingdom of wonder? Reality check, those types of people are all over the 🌎. You can be proud of your country, but don't have a big head and think you are better than anyone else. Judging by your response, here is what you are implying. All I said is there will be stupid, ignorant people everywhere, not Khmer. Understand?
This article is about to show the interesting facts about Cambodia. Ankor wat Facing to the west, because our ancestors built this monument for the future even, when the second sun comes ,the west will become to be the east , and a very even will happen in Cambodia. You know a richest country in the last day ,that your Bible says An island in the east and the island in the west, where ? It's Cambodia , not Philippines. Our ancestors still alive, they are preparing for a time comes, they do meditation and live in a deep inside of mountains. Sorry i forgot how English called it. (Kanal) We are Khmer but the word khmer was written in complex style ,was read as khem mac rac not khmer. When Thai occupied Cambodia they read this word as khmen(r) not in the complex style, in normal style, so the word khmer was born , so we have to names khmer and Khem mac rac. Khmer had the killing field because of Vietnamese they pretending to be khmer, impostor like Pol Pot , even Hun Sen , too. Now Hun Sen is pushing khmer to very danger of nuclear by giving land to China, our ancestors, too predicted that...
We love spicy but not too spicy. To put it we love chili in our food but we can't handle spicy food. We use chili and paper like any other ingredient. While country like China, Korea they try to kill you with the chili they put in the food.
Not sure if saying the word "Khmao" can lead to be derogatory. Like the Spanish word for Black is "Negro" so is it wrong for a spanish speaker from Spain or Latin american country to say that?
That term is now seen as derogatory when used to describe someone of African descent. The word itself still means black and used by Spanish speakers. That's one of the challenges of multi-racial, multi-ethnic environments. What one person interprets as innocent offends another. Another example is the use of the word ignorance. Ignorant/ignorance can and is often used to insult people now. People need to be mindful of cultural differences though and not dismiss everything they don't agree with as ignorance. Khmer people will often introduce someone and identify them by their ethnic background. We can introduce someone as "My Lao friend" and the Lao person themselves won't take offence. But if you introduce "My Black friend", most people will say it's racist.
@@d.c.3534There’s nothing racist about the word “Khmao” or the Latin word “Niger” and Spanish word “Negro”. If you hate a word that is describes an adjective or description of a person simply by using a color that literally describes them then it is you who should learn to love yourself and not hate an adjective that literally describes you.
@@EvanChorm-le6tn We don't think it's racist, but others do based on their history associated with the word. The word Negro is considered offensive and no longer in use. Since it's not a Khmer word, there's no need for Khmer people to use it. The Khmer word "Khmao" is different because we use it to describe a person. There is Krong Ta Khmau in Cambodia and there's nothing racist about that. I don't believe Khmer people should have to censor themselves or change their language to make it more comfortable for others. People go to Cambodia for opportunities of a better life than where they came from. That people make such videos and comments while living more comfortably than the average Khmer person sends a red flag to me.
@@d.c.3534 The term negro simply means black. If used as a derogatory word then it is equivalent to calling someone “fatty” which is deragatory but still is an adjective from the word fat. And all true kingdoms were fortified, moated and guarded. They sure weren’t inclusive. Why do you think China built a Great Wall? Why do you think Cambodian temples and palaces had moated and fortified bricks? Anyone preaching inclusion and equality and ready to accuse other people of racism are most likely descendants of invasive tribal nomadic pagans who superstitious worship the wind and have no respect for human laws and a human king.
I met some Africa ppl( don’t know where they came from, I don’t care to ask them) who only came to do business with Khmer Rich Ppl. Exactly I knew those of them We not different, not Rich Just different Developing of Governments 😂😂😂, but I still talked to them and made friends. The negative words I said I can’t help 😊
Do you know what the word "racist" used to mean before its definition has been changed and expanded over the years? It means "Someone who believes that people of his/her own race are better than others, and treats people of other races unfairly." Segregation in the U.S. until the mid 1960s and apartheid in South Africa until 1990 are solid examples of racism in recent history around the world. Vietnam and Cambodia have a long and complicated history with one another. I wouldn't call it nationalism either. The word you're most likely looking for is "xenophobia" which is frequently used by the West now. Do you know what happened to the indigenous people of the Americas who were so welcoming to outsiders? Here's a word for you to become familiar with--ethnocide. One of the definition is "Ethnocide exterminates ways of thinking, living, and being from various cultures."
@@d.c.3534 is it really just xenophobia though? cambodia had pogroms and genocided vietnamese settlers starting from the late 1700s both in cambodia and kampuchea krom. the khmer rouge also genocided the vietnamese community in cambodia and believed in racial superiority and purity. Lon nol did too under the khmer republic regime. maybe it is racism, nationalism and xenophobia mixed into together
@@cambodianpleasuresquad1753 Khmer and Vietnamese are of the same race. The word racism is out of place here. Maybe a bit nationalism, but I think it leans heavy into xenophobia, the fear of losing one's cultural identity and country to another. I've never heard about the genocide committed against ethnic Vietnamese in the 1700s. Can you provide a source where I can read up on this? And haven't Khmer Krom people voiced their concerns about being oppressed in Vietnam, about forced assimilation in the past? Both groups have suffered in the hands of the other in both countries. And Pol Pot did not believe Khmer to be superior. No one really talks about it, but he also looked to wipe out Khmer culture. He felt it was polluted and actually praised the culture of tribes people in the NE of Cambodia, regarded their culture as pure. That was the original hotbed of the Khmer Rouge movement. North Vietnamese army saw tribesmen revolting in Cambodia and armed and trained them, helping to cause further instability. This may be one of the reasons why Lon Nol was so Anti-Vietnamese. We'll never know the different ethnic groups and their numbers that made up the Khmer Rouge. I'm guessing you are ethic Vietnamese, born and raised in Cambodia. What's your experience been like in Cambodia?

It looks like CZcams didn't like my second comment I posted in reply because it's missing. Not sure why when I wasn't even being vulgar. I'm going to try again. Khmer and Vietnamese are the same race so that word doesn't apply. Nationalism, sure, but still heavy on xenophobia given the history between the two countries. Cambodia entering into a treaty with France was primarily due to fears of being swallowed by Vietnam, not Siam because the Khmer monarchs had a good relationship with Siam's monarch at the time. It was never about feeling superior to the other, but fear of losing one's cultural identity and country to the other. And resentment during the 1960s-1970s was due to the Vietnam war spilling over into Cambodia, and because North Vietnamese military were arming and training tribes people who were resolving in Cambodia in the NE. The NE of Cambodia was a hotbed for the KR. That's the culture that Pol Pot thought was pure, unlike Khmer culture which was polluted. The KR also sought to wipe out Khmer culture. And let's be honest, there's a history of violence against both groups at the hands of the other in both countries. And even today, I've seen comments by what they refer to themselves as "Overseas Vietnamese" living in Cambodia talking down about Khmer people. I've seen your comments on other Cambodian-related videos and I'm guessing you're ethnic Vietnamese born and raised in Cambodia. How have your experiences been in Cambodia?
There is no racist In Cambodia, everyone called each other pig, monkey... in daily life, they don't take it seriously sometimes we even called each other black even if we don't have black skin. we don't considered all those words are racist. That's correct that u said they don't know that those words are racist.
Why are so many black people so fixated on racial issues, discrimination, and racism? Black people keep doing videos and interviews about these topics, which seem to be everywhere in Asia countries. Instead, if you shift your focus to exploring and learning about the different cultures, religions, traditions, people, and foods in Asia countries, your channel will grow tremendously, and "you," will be an educated person. Win-win | @Sam Junior is a great example of WIN-WIN 🏆
I’m Cambodian and now as an abroad student, I have made a lot of dark skinned friends too. We’re not racist, bro. We love and respect people in their own ways. I’m sorry for some misunderstanding from our impression. However, I guarantee, we don’t have bad intentions.
As a Cambodian to another Cambodian Commenters > Please Please Please don't spread hate, this vdo is only talking about Cambodia. Accept it and do better if you felt shorted by any mean. There is no point bring up other countries, You loosing your own moral.
Salut les amis. Je vous parle en français. Je vous explique que les Khmers ne sont pas raciste contre les africains. Mais c'est le gène venant de la culture que moi même je déteste. Je suis khmer black. Ils sont racistes avec moi pour eux les noirs sont des pauvres et les Khmers blanc sont des riches comme les Khmers-chinois. Par exemple si je drague une femme elle va toujours me juger ma couleur. Par contre si un Khmers-chinois et il est blanc comme les chinois, ça passe 😂. C'est con mais c'est typique asiatique. Donc y'a rien à voir avec ta nationalité ton origine d'où tu viens. Les Khmers quand t'es pas chinois ils s'en foutent de toi 😂😂. C'est tout

Cambodian citizens are very friendly and they don't judge someone with skinny❤.
Not racist but prejudice most of the time.
I am a Cambodian American born in the states god bless you brother
❤❤❤
Before the war, there were men living with men, women living with women relationship. We all know they were couples, but we only joke with them and they were left to live life the way they wanted. We all live and joke together and never harm anyone to the point of discrimination or racism.
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ Cambodian people very nice country
I am Ghanaian and just moved here how can I link up with the Ghanaian or African community
I think I saw Sam Junior in China Mac tv channel but I’m not sure any way Cambodain people that is living in Cambodia they are not racism and they never ever used that word racism in Cambodia.if you see somebody looking at you it’s only meant you are foreign that’s it
nahh trust me, mostly old bodians they still have that narrow mindset, they call black people " អាខ្មៅ " or fat people " អាម៉ាប់ " it doesn't meant in a bad way, they still treat like everybody else, they don't call that for discrimination or hatred, it just sort of reaction in a funny way, it meant no harm.
the new generation are more mindful and open to different world, right now is the best to time to visit cambodia.
🙏❤
💕💕
Just don’t feel bad brothers!
Our Khmer people are races against our people all day as well.
❤❤❤🇰🇭♥️♥️
Welcome to Cambodia
Black, white and yellow are natural skin, all colors skinny was human being, human being is human being it’s should not change or created another racism issue. All human have heart to do wholesome or unwholesome it was natural behaviors only human being.
Ok 👍 😊
Nice
Cambodi welcome to all people around the world ❤🥰
ดีเอโก้ ไปเเล้ว😮เเสงจัน กุนขะเเม
I can say that sometimes european is so picky in everything. Sth that’s normal activities they looked like they dont like it
In Cambodia if your skin dark no matter you are from Africa or Khmer people, if your skin dark not the black , they are just making joke to said ( A Khmao) mean Black, so many of my friends call me A khmao ( A black ) because my Cambodian blood skin is dark, so some of our people never understand or heard the word Racism ( Discrimination), like me, I just realized this word and very serious in United State I can’t even said and scary to said the word ( black ),
Please do not take so serious to Cambodian people who living in Cambodia to say the word BLACK, they just joke and always say black with laughing ( Khmer people culture is teach us to smile laughing a lots), soon as I come to living in United state everything culture are different, you not really can smile or laughing anytime in United States.
The N-word in Cambodia doesn't really carry the same weight as it is in the US or anywhere else. Just like u said, it is basically ignorance, most Cambodians think that the N-word just basically means black people. Also, it's not really much of discrimination but rather more of a curiosity. No surprise that there aren't many black people in Cambodia, so yeah haha
I’m for accurate information
Most of Cambodian don't know the meaning of The N word. They heard and saw it from movie and media.
honestly cambodians needs to move to africa haha. africa is rich in resources and the economies are growing fast. the people are traditional and conservative like khmers too. countries like rwanda and tanzania have a great future
Why would you want Cambodians to go to Africa? Cambodians only left their country because of war. Before that they prefer to live in their exclusive kingdom. Cambodians are migratory people like Jews, blacks, Turkish, Mongolians, Thais and Vietnamese.
@@EvanChorm-le6tn african ladies are attractive and very fit.
@@cambodianpleasuresquad1753 If you’re attracted to black sub-Saharan African women then good for you but I have my own internalized standards of beauty since I was a kid, which is gentle-handed, gentle-footed, soft-spoken, naturally long straight to wavy hair, slim body-built, light to golden yellow or olive-skinned tone-basically tropical Southeast Asian to Mediterranean look from feudal noble caste and blood from ancient kingdoms of the old world that date back to antiquity. But besides internalized beauty standards, it’s also about shared interest and shared culture. That is why Prince Eric (royal caste) gets with Ariel (Aryan caste) mermaid.
@EvanChorm-le6tn how could a prophet, God King on earth such as yourself be limited by the beauty standards u have?😂 I love women of all races and colors and african women are very well endowed. They are soft and feminine with a very sweet personality. If you're one of those asians who prefer white women, I hate to break it to u. They don't like Asian men. In fact, they're outright racist towards asian men. Considering us too short and not masculine enough. I haven't encountered any racism from Black women, honestly. They've showed interest in asian men more than white women and Latinas have. You would think Black women would be equally racist towards asian men as white women have been due to black women are used to dating their own black men who are on average more masculine and taller than asian men. The fact is Black women do not fetishize or discriminate men of other races the way white, latina and asian women do. White women are known to fetishize black men and Latinas do too but to a lesser extent. Asian women are known to fetishize white men and they're gradually switching over to fetishizing black men due to the trend of hip-hop and social media.
The gen z in Cambodia is abusing swear word
Love it and let's start dating
I think there are racism everywhere. But it's good to explore the world of mixed races and be aware of your surroundings my man.
He knew😒.
Cambodian skin color is black too who have ligh skin color mixed with Chinese
I mean we asian ofc we be judging other race for no reason.
Wow, you met H.E. Hun Manet, I met him 4-5 years ago and he was really nice to everyone. Enjoy your stay in my country.
Thank you Sam for choosing to live in my country. What I recommend some black people are smelling😂
Im so sorry you have to deal with some ignorant people in cambodia. Wow, amazing how you can speak khmer. There will always be dumb people out there who say dumb things and hope you won't let them bring your great spirit down. Im glad you enjoy and like the culture in 🇰🇭.
Well all true original kingdoms are fortified, moated and guarded like a gated community. They sure weren’t inclusive. What do you expect? That’s why a garden (which is a man-made place where botanicals and florals are divided and segregated creating a serene place in contrast to the untamed, diverse, overcrowded wilderness) is used as a metaphor to represent the very first civilized kingdom on Earth. Any human who preach equality and inclusion and ready to accuse others of racism and xenophobia are most likely descendants of invasive wild tribal nomadic pagans who superstitiously worship the wind, not a human God-King who created human laws of right and wrong.
Why are you so quick to talk down to Cambodians? Did you not hear him say that after explaining the term was offensive that the Khmer friend felt bad? If you're about elevating other nationalities and putting down Cambodians, I hope you look to move out of Cambodia. Cambodia and Khmer people can't afford to suffer another regime where people who don't have their best interest are looking to tear it apart.
@@d.c.3534 Well black people tend to begin their race ideology everywhere they go because it’s their way of being accepted. It’s pretty sneaky if you ask me. Reminds me of the wicked stepmother witch faking a heart attack in the Disney film Snow White just to be welcomed in.
@d.c.3534 Before you bring on your 2 cent, I'm khmer myself, so pipe down, dude. Nobody is talking down anyboy. People are so fast to get offended and soft by any shit these days. You telling me that there aren't ignorant , racist, evil khmer people in the kingdom of wonder? Reality check, those types of people are all over the 🌎. You can be proud of your country, but don't have a big head and think you are better than anyone else. Judging by your response, here is what you are implying. All I said is there will be stupid, ignorant people everywhere, not Khmer. Understand?
@BeauBodhi88 huh?
This article is about to show the interesting facts about Cambodia.
Ankor wat
Facing to the west, because our ancestors built this monument for the future even, when the second sun comes ,the west will become to be the east , and a very even will happen in Cambodia. You know a richest country in the last day ,that your Bible says
An island in the east and the island in the west, where ?
It's Cambodia , not Philippines. Our ancestors still alive, they are preparing for a time comes, they do meditation and live in a deep inside of mountains. Sorry i forgot how English called it. (Kanal)
We are Khmer but the word khmer was written in complex style ,was read as khem mac rac not khmer. When Thai occupied Cambodia they read this word as khmen(r) not in the complex style, in normal style, so the word khmer was born , so we have to names khmer and Khem mac rac.
Khmer had the killing field because of Vietnamese they pretending to be khmer, impostor like Pol Pot , even Hun Sen , too.
Now Hun Sen is pushing khmer to very danger of nuclear by giving land to China, our ancestors, too predicted that...
Oh boy most of us know the N-word
I dont think Cambodians love spicy 🌶️
We love spicy but not too spicy. To put it we love chili in our food but we can't handle spicy food. We use chili and paper like any other ingredient. While country like China, Korea they try to kill you with the chili they put in the food.
ah kmav
Not sure if saying the word "Khmao" can lead to be derogatory. Like the Spanish word for Black is "Negro" so is it wrong for a spanish speaker from Spain or Latin american country to say that?
That term is now seen as derogatory when used to describe someone of African descent. The word itself still means black and used by Spanish speakers. That's one of the challenges of multi-racial, multi-ethnic environments. What one person interprets as innocent offends another. Another example is the use of the word ignorance. Ignorant/ignorance can and is often used to insult people now. People need to be mindful of cultural differences though and not dismiss everything they don't agree with as ignorance. Khmer people will often introduce someone and identify them by their ethnic background. We can introduce someone as "My Lao friend" and the Lao person themselves won't take offence. But if you introduce "My Black friend", most people will say it's racist.
@d.c.3534 it is not. Its only perceived as that by extreme lefties who also want to use gender pronouns. It is a normal word.
@@d.c.3534There’s nothing racist about the word “Khmao” or the Latin word “Niger” and Spanish word “Negro”. If you hate a word that is describes an adjective or description of a person simply by using a color that literally describes them then it is you who should learn to love yourself and not hate an adjective that literally describes you.
@@EvanChorm-le6tn We don't think it's racist, but others do based on their history associated with the word. The word Negro is considered offensive and no longer in use. Since it's not a Khmer word, there's no need for Khmer people to use it. The Khmer word "Khmao" is different because we use it to describe a person. There is Krong Ta Khmau in Cambodia and there's nothing racist about that. I don't believe Khmer people should have to censor themselves or change their language to make it more comfortable for others. People go to Cambodia for opportunities of a better life than where they came from. That people make such videos and comments while living more comfortably than the average Khmer person sends a red flag to me.
@@d.c.3534 The term negro simply means black. If used as a derogatory word then it is equivalent to calling someone “fatty” which is deragatory but still is an adjective from the word fat. And all true kingdoms were fortified, moated and guarded. They sure weren’t inclusive. Why do you think China built a Great Wall? Why do you think Cambodian temples and palaces had moated and fortified bricks? Anyone preaching inclusion and equality and ready to accuse other people of racism are most likely descendants of invasive tribal nomadic pagans who superstitious worship the wind and have no respect for human laws and a human king.
Cambodia is expensive
the second most expensive country in asean after singapore according to a new study
I met some Africa ppl( don’t know where they came from, I don’t care to ask them) who only came to do business with Khmer Rich Ppl. Exactly I knew those of them We not different, not Rich Just different Developing of Governments 😂😂😂, but I still talked to them and made friends. The negative words I said I can’t help 😊
talking about racism many foreigners are racist towards local khmers especially the white people and the chinese
Special the richest Chinese and richest Khmer look down on the real dark skin Khmer people . Seen it with my own eyes.
cambodian are racist but its mostly towards the vietnamese. but then again that is more nationalism
Do you know what the word "racist" used to mean before its definition has been changed and expanded over the years? It means "Someone who believes that people of his/her own race are better than others, and treats people of other races unfairly." Segregation in the U.S. until the mid 1960s and apartheid in South Africa until 1990 are solid examples of racism in recent history around the world. Vietnam and Cambodia have a long and complicated history with one another. I wouldn't call it nationalism either. The word you're most likely looking for is "xenophobia" which is frequently used by the West now. Do you know what happened to the indigenous people of the Americas who were so welcoming to outsiders? Here's a word for you to become familiar with--ethnocide. One of the definition is "Ethnocide exterminates ways of thinking, living, and being from various cultures."
@@d.c.3534 is it really just xenophobia though? cambodia had pogroms and genocided vietnamese settlers starting from the late 1700s both in cambodia and kampuchea krom. the khmer rouge also genocided the vietnamese community in cambodia and believed in racial superiority and purity. Lon nol did too under the khmer republic regime. maybe it is racism, nationalism and xenophobia mixed into together
@@cambodianpleasuresquad1753 Khmer and Vietnamese are of the same race. The word racism is out of place here. Maybe a bit nationalism, but I think it leans heavy into xenophobia, the fear of losing one's cultural identity and country to another. I've never heard about the genocide committed against ethnic Vietnamese in the 1700s. Can you provide a source where I can read up on this? And haven't Khmer Krom people voiced their concerns about being oppressed in Vietnam, about forced assimilation in the past? Both groups have suffered in the hands of the other in both countries. And Pol Pot did not believe Khmer to be superior. No one really talks about it, but he also looked to wipe out Khmer culture. He felt it was polluted and actually praised the culture of tribes people in the NE of Cambodia, regarded their culture as pure. That was the original hotbed of the Khmer Rouge movement. North Vietnamese army saw tribesmen revolting in Cambodia and armed and trained them, helping to cause further instability. This may be one of the reasons why Lon Nol was so Anti-Vietnamese. We'll never know the different ethnic groups and their numbers that made up the Khmer Rouge.
I'm guessing you are ethic Vietnamese, born and raised in Cambodia. What's your experience been like in Cambodia?
@@cambodianpleasuresquad1753 Well all true original kingdoms are fortified, moated and guarded like a gated community. They sure weren’t inclusive. What do you expect? That’s why a garden (which is a man-made place where botanicals and florals are divided and segregated creating a serene place in contrast to the untamed, diverse, overcrowded wilderness) is used as a metaphor to represent the very first civilized kingdom on Earth.

It looks like CZcams didn't like my second comment I posted in reply because it's missing. Not sure why when I wasn't even being vulgar. I'm going to try again.
Khmer and Vietnamese are the same race so that word doesn't apply. Nationalism, sure, but still heavy on xenophobia given the history between the two countries. Cambodia entering into a treaty with France was primarily due to fears of being swallowed by Vietnam, not Siam because the Khmer monarchs had a good relationship with Siam's monarch at the time. It was never about feeling superior to the other, but fear of losing one's cultural identity and country to the other.
And resentment during the 1960s-1970s was due to the Vietnam war spilling over into Cambodia, and because North Vietnamese military were arming and training tribes people who were resolving in Cambodia in the NE. The NE of Cambodia was a hotbed for the KR. That's the culture that Pol Pot thought was pure, unlike Khmer culture which was polluted. The KR also sought to wipe out Khmer culture.
And let's be honest, there's a history of violence against both groups at the hands of the other in both countries. And even today, I've seen comments by what they refer to themselves as "Overseas Vietnamese" living in Cambodia talking down about Khmer people. I've seen your comments on other Cambodian-related videos and I'm guessing you're ethnic Vietnamese born and raised in Cambodia. How have your experiences been in Cambodia?
There is no racist In Cambodia, everyone called each other pig, monkey... in daily life, they don't take it seriously sometimes we even called each other black even if we don't have black skin. we don't considered all those words are racist. That's correct that u said they don't know that those words are racist.
Why are so many black people so fixated on racial issues, discrimination, and racism? Black people keep doing videos and interviews about these topics, which seem to be everywhere in Asia countries. Instead, if you shift your focus to exploring and learning about the different cultures, religions, traditions, people, and foods in Asia countries, your channel will grow tremendously, and "you," will be an educated person. Win-win | @Sam Junior is a great example of WIN-WIN 🏆
I’m Cambodian and now as an abroad student, I have made a lot of dark skinned friends too. We’re not racist, bro. We love and respect people in their own ways. I’m sorry for some misunderstanding from our impression. However, I guarantee, we don’t have bad intentions.
You want racism come to the usa, cambodia is actually very low in racism
As a Cambodian to another Cambodian Commenters > Please Please Please don't spread hate, this vdo is only talking about Cambodia. Accept it and do better if you felt shorted by any mean. There is no point bring up other countries, You loosing your own moral.
Salut les amis. Je vous parle en français. Je vous explique que les Khmers ne sont pas raciste contre les africains. Mais c'est le gène venant de la culture que moi même je déteste. Je suis khmer black. Ils sont racistes avec moi pour eux les noirs sont des pauvres et les Khmers blanc sont des riches comme les Khmers-chinois. Par exemple si je drague une femme elle va toujours me juger ma couleur. Par contre si un Khmers-chinois et il est blanc comme les chinois, ça passe 😂. C'est con mais c'est typique asiatique. Donc y'a rien à voir avec ta nationalité ton origine d'où tu viens. Les Khmers quand t'es pas chinois ils s'en foutent de toi 😂😂. C'est tout
❤❤❤
