Politically Incorrect

While most of its citizens are Buddhists, one area that Thailand does not demonstrate "enlightenment" is when it comes to racial equality. I think I've talked before about how there is different treatment between Thais and foreigners, and sometimes between asian foreigners and non-foreigners.

Today I was in the local grocery store and I saw a cleaning cloth. While this is not particularly remarkable, the packaging was something that you won't see on your local Kroger. The name of the product was Black Man Cleaning Clothes, and there was a small picture of a black man on the front.
