As I grew older I was able to understand different kind of people and ideas. By the way my god brother is cambodian american and i love him like he was my real brother. And vice versa. Africans and cambodians have like in common, they are both peaceful people. And there culture are very symbolic. My name is eric and I love people for who they are.

The cynicism, suspicion and pure negative vibe of westerners in Cambodia and some Cambodians towards Africans is just disheartening to say the least. I have been reading blogs and travel forums from Cambodia since May 2011 and everything discussed with Africans involved is negative. It seems like all Africans are either drug dealers, scammers, pimps or shady criminals of some sort; and other nationals who are engaged in similar activities but are more discreet than the Africans escape such judgement and are considered pure at heart. but then can you blame them? can you blame them when some Africans, notably the Nigerians 'openly' engage in shady criminal activities? and i' not saying they should 'hide' their criminal activities as the 'others' are...no crime at all is best...but is this possible in the world we live in? well whatever...to those pointing the accusing fingers at us... [Africa is a collection of countries as individually different in thinking and behaviour as any other nationality on this earth. Same as Asia is not one country...and Europe etc]...remember, the African criminals are not working in isolation with other Africans. Guess the collection of nationals they are 'collaborating' with? It's almost ironic how completely friendly and accepting we are of westerners, Asians and foreigners in general here in Ghana and West Africa; even those whom we could brand as engaging in discreet crimes...and though we are just as guilty of stereotyping others as vise versa...it sure can suck worse than hell to be African on this planet.

That means it doesn't represent my present ideas now. And, in the post, I did not make a generalization about Africans at all. I have African friends working as teachers here in Cambodia. In 2009, I was just surprised to see a rising number of Africans and happened to read some news articles. And in this post, I didn't accuse anyone but question the reality I saw, as a young Cambodian. I hope you were not really saddened by it. Nowadays, I don't just have one African friend from one African country, but I have many African friends working as journalists from different African countries. And, I dare say you shouldn't be sad. In Cambodia, it's mostly Cambodians who commit crimes and murders, and I haven't seen any news article that mentions Africans doing it. And, I heard about 'global village' from Marshall McLuhan. ;) Dear Kwame,
