meravie: Well considering the asker of this question is English with a Thai background and has been brought up in England, it’s highly amusing that she sees herself as apart from “Westerners” and to have a different lifestyle. She goes to an English University, has parents who read the Daily Mail and she lives a Western lifestyle; I’m not sure how she qualifies to treat “The West” as ‘other’ when she is entirely Western and I don’t know what “liberation” the “West” can give her considering she’s a part of it. Meanwhile, Jaded16India doesn’t seem to have noticed this “appropriation” going on in the fact a Londoner is claiming to be in the same position as someone living in India, the land of starving children and murdered babies. Again, sorry to be a bit ridiculous and Glen Beckish, but these motherfuckers also often remind me of the Khmer Rouge leadership - a bunch of rich little cunts educated in the west, enjoying all the privileges of western student life. Then telling everybody else that the west is shit. -- source link
