Racism is anti-Thai not anti-non-white
What this type of racism in Thailand means is although non-whites suffer as it takes them much longer to find a job, Thai students suffer even more. That’s why this type of racism is actually anti-Thai.
After all, when a school will hire a 20-year-old white backpacker who wants to ‘teach’ for a couple of months, or a 50-year-old white man without a university degree and only in Thailand for the Thai women, before they’ll hire a fully-qualified teacher, who just happens to be Indian, Middle-Eastern, or black, how well do you think Thais are going to learn to speak English?
Not very well, that’s for sure.
Racism in Thailand — yep, alive and well. At least in the teaching industry.
