als vor 5 Jahren sich die Heimkehr vom Journalisten Stickmann mit seiner th. Frau, nach New Zealand ankündigte,
war es ein Abschied von Thailand und Ende einer Epoche.
The first time it happened it was so unexpected and so out of the blue that it took a moment to realise what had just happened. We almost did a double take. Did that really happen here in the back blocks of rural New Zealand. We had been walking along the footpath in a small town when a car of bogans had slowed right down and as they passed us one of the passengers screamed out the window, “.... off back to China!”
The other half was perplexed as much as anything. We were touring around the South Island and enjoying ourselves. We let it go. It happened so fast and they drive away quickly. She had been abused, but she never felt threatened. Silly words from idiots, there was no need to dwell on it..
Racial abuse is not exactly common in New Zealand, but it does happen from time to time. That incident was almost 5 years ago. But it isn’t the only time it has happened.
About 6 or so months ago I dragged the other half along to my favourite Indian restaurant for lunch. A cold, drizzly Sunday, it was the perfect day for a hot curry. I seem to recall that particular day was about as cold as it gets here and the Mercury barely touched double figures.
We walked out of my favourite curry house with our bellies full. There we were on Marine Parade, the magnificence of the Pacific Ocean right in front of us but we wouldn’t linger to enjoy the view with a gale blowing. We scurried off towards the car, parked just a few spaces away when….
…..a car passes us by and some idiots yell out, “Go back to China, mother ......!” As soon as the words had left their mouths, they zoomed off.
The other half wasn’t upset and nor was she scared. But she was disappointed. She didn’t expect this sort of thing to happen here.
The first time it happened she had only been in New Zealand a few weeks and I could explain it away easily by saying, “They’re South Islanders, they’re a different breed down there”. But this time it was on our doorstep.
She’ll be the first to say that some farangs aren’t always treated as well as they could be in Thailand, but she’ll also argue that neither does this sort of random abuse happen in Thailand. That’s a big no-no.
Abuse someone in Thailand in this manner and a fight will follow. Give the wrong person the fingers in Thailand and they will try and kill you. Thais have their moments when it comes to farangs, but random abuse isn’t the Thai way.
I was as perplexed as anything. We’re not a mismatched couple. The age gap between us is not significant. She doesn’t look nor act like a gold digger and I certainly don’t look like the stereotypical portly pervert who couldn’t get laid outside a brothel. She was abused because she is Asian.
New Zealand has always been multicultural – but perhaps bi-cultural would be more accurate. Maori and Pakeha (the Maori word for whites). To say New Zealand is becoming increasingly multicultural is accurate, but that’s only part of the story. Auckland is very multicultural. The city I call home felt like it was about 80% white when I was growing up. Today whites make up around 50%. Quite a change in the space of just a few decades.
But that’s Auckland and we don’t live there. Where we are it is much more, shall we say, vanilla. I’m all for a bit of diversity, but at the same time I want New Zealand to be New Zealand, and not New Delhi.
Here in the regions, New Zealand still feels like New Zealand. In Auckland – and particularly downtown Auckland – not so much. In the regions there are reservations against outsiders. You’re much less likely to find that in Auckland.
So what’s this got to do with Thailand?
Parts of downtown Bangkok have a significant foreign presence. Some high-end condominium buildings are dominated by foreigners and may only have a few Thais living in them.
It’s not just Bangkok. There are small pockets around Thailand where it feels like the foreigners outnumber the locals. Parts of Pattaya and Chiang Mai come to mind.
Thais don’t just randomly abuse each other for no reason whatsoever, and neither do they randomly abuse Caucasians. In Thailand, if you curse someone for no reason there will probably be a fight – and fights in Thailand get vicious – so people just don’t say .... like this.
The other half had long forgotten about these two incidents until they came up today after I mentioned a friend visiting the South Island had found some locals a little uncouth. Her thoughts on being abused by Kiwi bogans? Don’t call me ....... Chinese, I’m Thai!

war es ein Abschied von Thailand und Ende einer Epoche.
dieser Tage schrieb er :das Netz vermittelt nicht viel von diesen Vor-Digitalen Zeiten,
auf den Seiten von
Stickman Weekly, the weekly column for expats, frequent visitors and lovers of Bangkok
beginnt das Archiv mit dem Jahr 2001, was im Netz schon eine Ausnahme ist.
Irgendwann wird sich manch einer fragen, warum er sich nicht eine komplette Kopie gezogen hatte,
zu Zeiten, wo dies noch möglich war, und die Seite noch online.
um es mit seinen Worten zu sagen,
der Blick auf die Schönheit ist lansam zugewachsen,
und der alte Sitzplatz wird bald der Bodenersosion weichen,
und so rückt die Zeit seines Alterslebens in Neu Zealands näher.

Würde mal sagen, das hing auch von der körperlichen Verfassung der Einzelnen ab. Vom Körpergewicht/Figur wollte ich jetzt aus Höflichkeit nichts schreiben.
